  • Weekend Ride: Lonavla - Khopoli - Pen - Pali

    It's been quite some time since I posted something in the the touring section although that doesn't mean that I haven't done any tours all these days but somehow I'm not able to put everything together and post it here. Now its time when if I don't start posting then I will even forget which all rides I did leave the triplog aside.

    As the name says this is just a Sunday ride so I will not be posting any log per se and will be posting only the pictures.

    Note: Please excuse me for the dirt on the sensor which will be clearly visible in many pictures.



    Somewhere before Lonavla in one of the village roads


    All the below pictures taken on the stretch between Lonavla and Khopoli where one needs to enter into the expressway


    Look who is hiding behind the bushes


    Soaking the morning sun






    I was so excited to discover the place. You can actually see the expressway in 3 layers and Khopoli city down the hill.



    Overlooking the hills


    Somewhere on NH-17




    On way to Pali






    Some time pass pictures










    Another place which I discovered around Khopoli from where one can take some very good pictures of expressway






    That's for the moment. Will update with some more pictures from another weekend ride in a day or two.

      Not this Sunday.Next Sunday is perfect. This Sunday I'm off to Harnai, Ganapatipule, Ratnagiri, Ambolgad(I see your and Inder's post) and will try to do Dajipur. Let's see.

      If you want we can somewhere on NH-17 if you too are riding on the same day.

                  See I will be starting on 6th morning and will most probably be staying at Harnai for the night. On 7th I will be riding to Ratnagiri and Ganapatipule and will look for Ambolgad. This is what I have thought till now.
                  Btw for a change I will be riding with a pillion this time round.

                    BTW which is that helmet of yours? Looks nice.

                      That is a SparX which I bought 2 months back and it already survived a fall(Don't worry I was not inside it at that time).
