      got up next day for the lonavala khandala ride..it was hot man....wish i was born in north or something...we went through the lonavala and guess roamed around each street inside it...cant believe that there are traffic jams even in those itty bitty roads..lolz....and from there next was khandala....i actually dont know which road we took but we were on the mumbai pune express flyover which i guess we 2 wheelers are not supposed to go but we dint realize it until we were returning back and also no one stopped us...however the view was great and karthik went through 3 big speed breakers which were kinda invisible and i flew from the rear seat for a few moments

      went on and on from khandala and thought of going to bombay but stopped 20kms short of bombay cause of terrible heat...had neera and went back to pune...stopped my a dhaba names "motor dhaba" or something like that where the basic theme was about bikes and cars.found this lovely wall paint there (last pic)


      here are the pics ....


















































      next stop: Lavasa

          You are allowed on the Expressway from Lonavala to Khopoli..
          And if I know that route correctly.... Those three speedbreakers were just after the Khopoli exit or beyond that when you roll down!
          and I think you should have been 20KMs away from Mumbai detour in the Expressway and not Mumbai!

            Those invisible bumps are just before you hit actual expressway soon after you roll down the ghat of tiger valley...

                    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
