Hi all. Hope all are doing fine. I am in need of an important clarification regarding an upcoming ride of mine.
6th of march being a Govt holiday in Banglore, I have 3 days off during which I have planned to go Chennai on my 250r as usually. This time im planing to take a different route instead of the same boring BNG-KGIRI-AMBR-VELLR-CHN. I have a plan to visit Maruthamalai temple in Coimbatore enroute. OK done, said my bike and mind. But kept a strict constraint to be in Chennai by dawn of 7th due to family related stuffs, said my parents.
When checked, came out with two routes; one being awesome scenic which can be said as my dream route to ride through (a part of it) and the other one being time effective (hope so).
Route 1: (myplan) GTRE, CV Raman Nagar-Mysore-Bandipur-OOty-Coim-Maruthamalai-Erode-Salem-Ulundurpet-Tindivaman-Tambaram-Royapuram ~922kms
Route 2: GTRE, CV Raman Nagar-Hosur-Krishnagiri-Dharmapuri-Salem-Coimb-Maruthamalai-Erode-Salem-Ulundurpet-Tindivaman-Tambaram-Royapuram~913kms
Of these 2, My long time wish was to ride through Ooty and Bandipur section. I havent riden through the other sections (Kgiri to Coim & Bang to Coimb via. Mysore, Ooty) of the above route though I have driven from Coim to Chenn through route 2.
My confusions starts here as I have to answer many questions to myself which is not possible without the suggestions from you guys before preparing for the actual ride.
Bike: 250r ABS was serviced before 500kms (15 days ago) with clutch cable replacement, shim adjustments, engine oil top up (its ridden 1800kms since last oil change), front brake pads due for change though.
I would be doing an effective cruise speed of 100-120 kph wherever possible at the most. If I am starting on or before 4am from my place, which route do you guys think/suggest would allow me to complete the total said Kms by 12am of the following day, 7th.
I would be spending close to an hour or so at the temple which is, inevitable by fact. My preference lies to route 1 and can prepond my start time by an hour even,if it is so, as its my wish to ride through it. The confusion is because, even google map shows a riding time of around 3 hr more from bang-coimb through route 1 than through route 2.
The condition persist strictly: should visit the temple, be home before dawn of next day and possibly making my wish come true.
i dont mind riding after 8pm as far as I am at the max of 200kms away from my destination, which is my home through either of the route.
Kindly suggest, which route to go with ad the possibility to do it on a bike of such a condition. i will be fully geared up doing safe speeds sanely.
thanks in advance
