  • Explorers Drive into Nature - Osman Sagar -> Mrugavani Park -> Anantagiri. Hyderabad




    Gear up your bikes, get stuff fixed, get your safety gear on coz we gonna rev up on the road to greenery.

    Ananthagiri Hills, Osman Sagar and Mrigavani National Park should look absolutely beautiful in the monsoon and nature lovers are welcome to join the ride.

    Here's the alternate map we'll use rather than plain old' Mehdipatnam -> APP academy route.
    Mumbai Road to Sri Ananth Padmanabh Temple, Ananthagiri Down Road, Kerelli, Andhra Pradesh 501101, India - Google Maps

    Anyone has experience in this route?


    Rules to keep us happy biking:

    0. Get your bikes checked/fixed for brakes, clutch and other shit.
    1. No races
    2. No stunts
    3. Get your own bikes
    4. Camera can be shared (Who has one with awesome zoom?)
    5. Helmet compulsory (even for pillion) - minimum requirement
    6. Avg speed ~60kmph
    7. No solo take offs - this is a pack drive. Stay in the pack as a pack.
    8. Shoes compulsory (rainy season - helps against slipping and snake bites)


    Good to have

    1. Extra clutch cables
    2. Your own minimal first aid kits
    3. Enough cash for your own food
    4. Trouble free stomachs - No plumbing out there
    5. Rain coats/ Rain Wear


    Caution

    1. We probably can't have any female riders with us for lack of plumbing.
    2. Unsure of road condition - So drive safe and within control speed.


    Date: 28 July 2012, Saturday
    Time: Starts at 5:00 am
    Meeting place: Nanalnagar Traffic Circle, In front of Morion Bakery


    Confirmation at least 2 days before the drive:

              .
              Yes dude, very much welcome.
              Just need to be extra careful on driving on not so peaceful roads
              AFAIK, one of the riders is getting a Dio. What's yours?

              P.S: Confirm on facebook? Do let me know if you need help with directions to meetup point.

                  The route in the map is straight and good. There are routes via villages that are a little longer but at many places the roads are not good. But, it would become very scenic in August with all agriculture.

                  Murali, I am not on any ride. Just was a little busy. I intended to ride to one destination, but it did not happen. Will try riding there next week. Also, need to improve my bike's condition before that.

                    AND We're back.

                    Pics being copied from cam to lappie.

                    Great thing about ride:
                    - Went pretty Safe
                    - Surprise for us... details will be revealed later.

                    Things that could have been better:
                    - Group riding
                    - We missed Murali somewhere.
                    - Adhering to the pre-planned route.

                        Yeah, the major bunch of guys made their meetup point as APP academy which was not the intended route and they simply drove through the old plain route.. I had hard time catching them myself because I didn't want to over-rev engine ( still 715 kms after yesterdays ride)


                        May be we should have exchanged numbers to communicate better. Oh well next time.


                        You got some pics there?

                            Must admit, that neither we had a good camera (we had my sony cybershot DSC w570/B) nor did we have highly creative hands behind the cam (includes me)

                            More than half of the snaps were all blurred .. probably because someone didn't know the half click focus thing


                            Selected photos from the Drive are available at



                            AND here's the surprise SAKSHI EPAPER

                            We got featured in Sakshi Paper for AP tourism for Ananthagiri.

                            Not sure what they did with the rest of the tiring closeshots/photoshoot/videoshoot they took us through!
                            May be it supposed to go on air?
