    Grunt rides to Goa..

    My wife and myself are planning a ride to Goa next week. Dont want to get there in a hurry, and would like to spend some time looking at places enroute.
    I am thinking of taking the Bangalore --> Tumkur --> Shimoga --> Karwar --> Goa route.

    Need some information folks.

    1) How is the road condition especially concerned about pot holes? Considering my ride's suspension is not built to negotiation our definition of a "road".
    2) Plan to stop over at Shimoga on the first day, any suggestions for places to stay or visit along the way?

    Cheers!

      If you are referring to Shimoga-Sagar-Sirsi-yellapur-Ankola-Karwar-Goa route. Then except for the small stretch, soon after the Thalaguppa junction, hardly for 5-10 mtrs the road is a bit rough but definitely can be ridden even with the worst possible suspension. Apart from that, the rest of the route is good.

      If you are rereferring to Shimoga-Sagar-Jogfalls-Honnavar-Karwar-Goa route : Apart from the 10-15kms stretch between Jog and Honnavar, rest of the route is very much ride friendly.

      Most parts of both the routes are recently relaid, so not much worries. Personally i feel Shimoga is too close for a stop over. you can consider Ankola/Gokarna/Karwar for a stopover. Now that rains are not in full flow most places wouldnt have turned green. Ride Safe.

      P.S: Like your ID BTW :b:
