I have been riding for 3 years mainly for office commute in bangalore, have no experience in hill climbing. I could not make my new bike (RTR 200) climb to nandi hill 1 month back. one friend helped me there(actually rode to up ). I stalled my bike several times.
I searched google, XBHP for newbie tips for hilly area and could not find much info(though I got info of car driving in hilly area on Team-BHP
, hand break ,break-accelerator by same foot and other and got some idea for bike too but still I am not sure).
I have read almost all travelogue and mostly all of them are written by experts/experienced, so no mention of difficulties faced by new riders.
I am planning for bike trip to Ooty or Chikmagalur with friends(3 bikes). according to road map ooty seems difficult to me so I am eyeing Chikmagalur
.
Could you please suggest which would be easy for rookie like me - Ooty/Chikmagalur .
Please suggest any riding tips for such area.
Is it possible for newbie to visit Chikmagalur on bike.(have completed 280 KM trip in one day alone on straight highway)
what areas to avoid in monsoon if I am visiting Chikmagalur .
I wanted to participate this year's XBhp meet happening in Ooty, but did not as I am very new and would upset many in group.
My bike trip depends on your suggestions and encouragement .
Thanks in advance .
Cheers!
