It had been snowing in Manali. For the first time in many years! Yup, was all over the papers. The next afternoon a couple of friends came and asked me to accompany them..to Manali, over the weekend!
I still agreed ..
Though I convinced the fellows to re-direct the trip, to Kalpa (which eventually turned out to be Sarahan..ahem!). Also confronted Vishal, my friend and roommate if he would accompany us, he agreed readily.
It was a first hill ride for all the 3 .. This got me thinking .. I was a bit skeptical and scared at the same time for obvious reasons. But nonetheless, I was confident that they would fare well..
..And thus, after imparting a small briefing to them on a Saturday early morning, we set off!
The riders were:
1) Vishal: P-150
2) Archit: Electra 350
3) Prashant: P-220 DTSi
4) Yours truly on the CBZ-X
