BR Hills � Gopalaswamy Betta � Monsoon Edition 2009
Date: 2nd August 2009
Scenario: What best reason to ride when you have not ridden (touring) for 350 days. Yes you read it right, after Three Hundred and Fifty days, previous ride on 17th August 2008. Wanted to do this solo as well with a target of 500 kms, to see how fingers and my right hand can handle the stress.
Started at 6 am (instead of 5 am) as advised by my mom, left home at 5:55 am. Tanked up at Mysore Road Shell Petrol bunk, and rode till Maddur to stop for breakfast at new Kamat Restaurant. Had tasty idly vada and chow-chow bath. Continued towards Shivanasamudram, spent about 15 mins and continued riding toward BR Hills via Kollegal. Reached by 9 am, visited the temple and left by 9:40, rode via KG Gudi to reach Chamarajanagar. Had tender coconut and rode on, reached Gopalaswamy Betta at 11:15 am.
Was disappointed when I reached there, reason being no mist/cloud cover and too many people flogging the place
. The place has gone dirty as well. Spend about an hour and headed to Pugmark Restaurant.
Had decent food, rest for about 30 odd minutes and started the ride back to Bangalore. Reached home before sunset.
After almost a year, finally a ride for about 554 kms in about 10 hours with 13 litres of liquid gold.
