                            Ananthagiri Ride: 7th June 2009

                            Riders: 1. Vibhanshu on red R15
                            2. Bhanu (bhanuprakash_85) on black RTR Refresh
                            3. Cheedhu on Thunderbird TBTS
                            4. Amarnath non xBhp on Avenger 200
                            5. Chandrasekhar on P180 UG3
                            6. Sarvajit on black R15

                            Pillions: 1. Souvik on Vibhanshu’s red R15
                            2. Chandrasekhar’s brother Arun on his P180, both non xBhp

                            This ride was basically my idea, I had been wanting to do this ever since I missed the G2G ride with the others when they rode to Ananthagiri. It was planned many a time, but fizzled out due to the sweltering summer heat.
                            But this time it somehow got confirmed. We were scheduled to meet outside ITC Kakatiya sharp at 7 a.m.

                            Time: 06:30.
                            Place: My house, Ameerpet.
                            My Dad forgot to wake me up&I somehow managed to wake myself&Bhanu up&make it there by 7:10. Chandru, Cheedhu were already there. Bhanu decided not to waste time&went off to fill fuel in his RTR, saying he would meet us at Banjara Hills.
                            Vibhanshu wasted about half an hour in picking up his pillion Souvik&filling fuel. Funny considering he was the most eager one for this ride. Amarnath was supposed to join us at
                            Mehdipatnam.

                            Time: 07:45.
                            Place: ITC Kakatiya, Somajiguda.
                            So we started off from there, with Chandru leading the way to Mehdipatnam, picked up Bhanu half way&at Mehdipatnam we found Amarnath waiting for us&he waved out to Vibhanshu- a bit funny considering he never met him! (He thought my bike was red)
                            Anyways, we spent a minute explaining to each other the general rules-keep your lights on (atleast parking lights), don’t overtake without signal, keep a watch on the one behind you, decided how the riding formation would be like&started off. I was in the lead&Cheedhu in the tail.

                            Time: 08:30:
                            Place: Mehdipatnam.
                            I was feeling that the sun will come out anytime&so will the traffic, and spoil the fun of the ride, like the Bhongir ride. It took us some time to get out of the city limits, with some really bad roads at Langer House, underneath the new Flyover Construction. We were getting a bit bored winding our way through the under construction areas with deviations at every 200 metres, when finally the highway opened out into a 2+2 lane with a barricade in the middle. I immediately signaled to Chandru&zoomed off, with Bhanu in hot pursuit on his RTR!
                            Now this was interesting to watch, as this was his first time on the highway on a bike&everyone wanted to see how the RTR performs. More on this later.
                            So we had just begun to have our fun on the 4 lane, when suddenly the road tapered out into a 1+1 lane with no divider. I thought to myself, now the average speed will come down to 65-70. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the road quality was very good, maybe newly laid&there was hardly or no traffic, maybe because it was a Sunday.
                            So from there on the fun started, with me constantly doing speeds of 90-105, followed by Bhanu&Vibhanshu. The others were cruising at 75+.

                            Time: 10:00,
                            Place: Chevella.
                            After about 40kms., we decided to stop for breakfast at Chevella. This time there were no odd stares from people. We managed to find a table just to keep our helmets&bags.
                            There we came across a group of bikers, with some 7 guys&3 girls. One of them was actually sitting with her back to the rider! Maybe that is enjoyable, but not on a highway!
                            We had a good laugh when the rider zoomed off without noticing a speedbreaker&she bounced on the seat!

                            Time: 11:00.
                            From Chevella we took a left&the road continued to be fine, except for 1-2 kms.bad stretch.
                            Finally we saw a board saying Anantagiri&I suddenly remembered what KP had told me-don’t forget to try the next 2-3 kms. So I signaled to the others that we would be moving ahead.

                            Time: 11:45, Ananthagiri.
                            Now was the time for some twisties. I was trying my best, but couldn’t scrape the footpegs (or I was too scared). It was fun though. We managed to find a straight on which Vibhanshu asked Souvik to get off&we both tried a speed blast. He&I managed to do about 126&129 respectively. Then suddenly Bhanu came up&said his bike was struggling to go beyond 110. I couldn’t believe it-I’ve heard of Satish&others doing much more on their RTRs, so we exchanged bikes&I tried gunning the RTR on a downslope followed by a 400m straight stretch. It did 122&did not seem to be running out of breath at all! Then we found a place where there was a really good view&parked all our bikes there for snaps. One really funny incident was: Bhanu suddenly realized that he had to answer the nature’s call&ran off with a water bottle behind a hillock. Since we were all in a naughty mood, we tried aiming stones at him, but he was too far.

                            12:00 hours: Distance covered 90 odd kms.
                            Anyways, after this speed test, we found Cheedhu was getting bored&wanted to explore the jungle. Time for some offroading. We finally found a good spot, settled down there, took some snaps&then decided to leave, as the heat was catching up.
                            The ride back was much faster, Amarnath started gunning his Avy&said he wants to get onto a 4 lane next time! Bhanu started crouching&realizing what difference it makes to the top end.
                            Stopped once near the city outskirts to say our byes&by then we had already decided on a longer ride on the NH7 to Pochampad Dam two weeks from now!

                            Request Chandru to post the links to the Picasa web albums too.
                            Thanks for reading through this&I will try to combine the log with pics next time.
