  • 18th G2G Xbhp Bangalore - wild wagtail

    Again another G2G!!!, Thinking of previous huge success of G2G.

    Initially there were less people when the place and dates were fixed for 12th and 13th, after a long discussion in whatsapp group, the dates were postponed to 19th and 20th, thanks to Rajesh Sir and Sharad Bhai for his efforts making GTG a grand success AGAIN !!!. When the dates were fixed Mann mein ek laddu podha. Then Sharad Bhai suggested some of the resorts in sakleshpura for the GTG, after seeing the pics of some off roads, Hill tops and finally TENT then Mann mei dusra laddu podha.

    When the days were getting closer, the excitement grew more and more. Planning for packing was the tough thing. I didn't want to carry a big bag, then I remembered Rajesh Sir, who is a packing expert.

    Finally the days arrived, meeting point was fixed at 5:00am, Prakesh bhai was not able to join us in the early morning due to previous day's office party hangover. And Arnab bhai, Jothi were bit late, who were joining us at Hotel Mayura.

    Ride started, cold winds, mist and cloud above our heads was an awesome view. But I wasn't ready to stop the bike for the pic (sooo cold). As planned our next stop was Hotel Mayura. For our surprise, we saw a blue and red tail lights passing us, that was surprise entry from our The Great Cornering King R3 Arnab bhai zooooooooooming passing us by waving hands

    After a while we reached Mayura for the breakfast
    with some good food and funny conversations we started of towards sakleshpura. As one of the member of Xbhp Adithya has joined us just for the ride, stopped in sakleshpura and wished us a safe journey ahead. As Sharad bhai was knowing the route from sakleshpura, he lead us with his TB which was followed by R3. Final stretch to the resort was so overwhelming that we felt like this is ENOUGH and no need of the off reading, which were shown in the pics near the resort. And I have to stand up and salute for Sharad Bhai, Arnab and Jothi for cruising on those roads. and we were unable to tail them, by the mud and dust we could trace them. Reaching resort first thing that caught our eyes was the mud volleyball court, everyone got excited but none got down!!!.
    then we could see flowing water with boating and zip lining. we got even more excited. Then we kept our luggage's in the tent, freshened up . After a while Saquib bhai was telling us his experience of his recent trip to GOA. Listening to the stories and experience of Saquib bhai & Arnab, we lost of track of time, and forgot that we all were hungry. We started to have the food, the same time the couples arrived (Prakesh bhai and anu Didi). To add to our excitement we saw the cricket bat and wickets made us to play galli cricket for some time and this continued with badminton. As few were tiered, they slept for some hours. After some time the resort person told us about the nearby waterfalls. @4:00 some went wandering with their bikes ( Uday bhai and Jothi) and some walking towards the waterfalls.
    The view of the water falls was splendid and charming., Click image for larger version

    @6:30 drinks and food was being arranged. Meanwhile, Saquib bhai left to bangalore. Tables and camp fire were put in front of our tents. And the night view of the following water was mesmerizing and mind blowing. Then a crazy thought came to my mind of boating at night. The idea was supported by a his get, and the daring of couple of joining us was appreciable try en started boating with a flash light which was bit scary at last corners.

ID:	1993897 others shared their opinions and plans. @10:30 had our food, then the music started by DJ Sharad, dance and UNCONTROLLABLE HEAD BANGINNG started by Arnab and Rajesh Sir, Jothi watching Arnab's back to make sure that he doesn't fall into water, Prakesh bhai, anu Didi, abhishek and me were enjoying the sense. Me and abhishek were planning for a early morning wandering, but sleeping @1:30, plan was on hold.

    Sun rises, lights poking our eyes from the tent opening. Eventually one by one started to wake up blaming each other for getting early. Suddenly Prakesh bhai wanted to explore nearby area. My eagerness to tide towards the hill top saw a ray of hope. Click image for larger version

    After clicking some pics we realized that others were waiting for us at the resort. We started riding towards the resort, after reaching we saw that some were still having their 2nd round of sleep.
    @10:30 we had breakfast, then trampoline called us. We had fun on trampoline, Jothi trying for a front flip even Prakesh bhai had some fun.
    @11:30 Udy bhai initiated to leave the place so that we can have our lunch on the way and reaching Bangalore before sunset. Finally everyone packed their bags. As abhishek was having a plan to go to Mangalore, Click image for larger version

    Near Hassan I planned to visit my old friend's house, leaving others. Stopped near Hassan to say good bye and planning to meet in another G2G. After visiting my friends house, while departing from Hassan @6:30 the cold breeze made me realize that I had lost my rain liner somewhere. Then called everyone regarding this, when called got a shocking news that Abhishek had fallen down on the way to mangalore. Which made me be more cautions, after reaching Bangalore got a call from Abhishek saying that he was saved due to gears. With the combinations of bad luck, gravel and series of speed breakers just after a curve made him lose his control. Nothing serious had happened. Finally slept with very good memories

    And thanks everyone for making a wonderful memories.

                              Helmet is one place which is isolated from vibrations of bike.. So you will get good stable footage on your helmet mounted action cam. Not shaky.
