Can I ride distance in a single day?

Hello people. I'm planning to ride on a round trip from Chennai to Yelagiri (220 km) and back. Can I cover the distance without facing difficulties to the constraint of me to return on the same day?

Hey Naveen, I'm probably going to ride on the 19th or 20th of January.
Hope you have a wonderful trip.
Do share the experience once you're back [emoji5]

It is possible - you may not be able to spend much time in Yelagiri - nothing much to see in Yelagiri from a tourist perspective.

I have done it pre-GQ days...

Thanks a lot Ayyachamy. I guess it's gonna take about 6-7 hours for the complete journey. An early start would do good [emoji5]

Start before 6 in the morning. Yelagiri has only 10-12 not so impressive bends. If destination is not a big deal, try jawadhu hill. It is more or less the same distance. Consider this route



You can reach Polur via Arcot and the return leg should be Amirthi zoo --> Vellore --> Chennai.

Rode couple of times to Jawadhu Hills but not tried this return route, seems better than Alangayam route 👌

Thanks mate.
Jawadhu hills does seem to be a better deal than Yelagiri. But is it possible to clock that distance so that I can reach Chennai before sunset? Considering I leave Chennai in the morning between 4:30 am and 5:00 am.

You should be able to return back to Chennai by 5 in the evening if you are maintaining 80-90 Kmph on the highways.
Also try to complete the breakfast before arcot.

I think it won't be a problem too.
After the second toll gate from Chennai, it's going to be six laned roads till the Vaniyambadi exit, which will allow me to cruise at ease at 110-120 kmph on my D200 [emoji5]
Will plan the tour soon enough.
