This was supposed to be a long weekend (19-21st September) and I decided to go to Hyderabad to meet friends. I booked the rail tickets but they were not confirmed. I decided to go by bike and gave my bike for oil change and some other fixes on Friday. On Friday evening, I discovered that my train tickets are confirmed but still decided to do this on bike.
Planned to start at 4 AM. Slept at 1AM and got up at 4:20, checked my mail and there my boss told me that he want me to be in office on Monday.
Still decided to go ahead with the plan. Started at 5 AM.
Took first 5 minute break at Pune. Second break was at 10:10 AM. This 10 minutes break was for wada pav and tea. Solapur was 96 kms from here.
Third break was at Umarga, it was little longer of 25 minutes at a 12:45 to 1:10 pm. I started after this and after 5 minutes it started drizzling. I was not prepared for this but luckily it stopped after 5 minutes.
Reached Hyderabad at 4 pm.
Total distance was around 715 kms. My odometer doesn’t show the distance.
Roads are good till Pune and from Solapur to Hyderabad. After Pune it is a single carriage road. Between Pune and Solapur it has got potholes. Some big enough for a bikerider to fall. But I was lucky.
Ate Hyderabadi Biryani, went to Nagarjuna dam and a very big waterfall on Sunday. It is 150 kms from Hyderabad. Went there in a hired Tavera as there were 6 of us and although we had three bikes, people were not really prepared to do 150 kms one way on bike (I was ready)
Returned to Mumbai on Monday as had to attend the office. Bike is in Hyderabad and now I have to decide how to bring it back.
