1. Chicka-Tirupathi :
Being a cyclist, I had made friends with similar mind set people. So, here we were 3-4 friends planning for a sunday morning trip for about 70-80km.
The destination was planned to Chicka-Trirupathi, 35km from Marathalli. Jimit, Ricky, Sreekanth and I planned this ride. We were from Marathalli (Roughly 5km radius) and started this ride around 6am.
The route was beautiful but the weather was not that pleasant. It was hot and we had to sweat it out o reach Chicka-Tirupathi. Chicka-Tirupathi is a temple where lot of devotees visit.
We reach Chicka-Tirupathi around 9am. After having a good breakfast here we headed back. We took a nap in the nearby village for half an hour and then resume our ride back to Marathalli.
We reached back around 12:30pm. The weather was harsh but was a great ride and great time with friends.
2. Janapadaloka:
This is 140km ride trip, organised by Anil S Kadsur. The destination was Janapadaloka, this is mid way of Bangalore and Mysore. From Bangalore it is 55km and 80km from Mysore. The route was scenic and with minimum traffic.
The uphills were tough, it was a good balance between uphill and downhill.
I started from Marathalli at 4am along with Shiva and Mohan. We reached the starting point at wheelsports,Chamarajpette around 5am.
Seera and Water had been arranged by Anil, this gave up bit more energy to our ride. Almost 40 people were present for this ride.
We started around 5:30pm, the route was tough and beautiful. Reached Janapadaloka, Kamat hotel around 10am. Literally exhausted. Nirav my colleague was also present for this ride.
We had buffer breakfast in Kamat hotel. It was delicious. We choose buffet as we were already tired and we had to go back around 70km.
After having proper breakfast we planned to go back in the same route. The route was challenging now as the Sun was already up and the uphill were almost steep. We finalised that we will be going by the same route.
Yes, It was indeed exhausting. I reached back home by 4pm.
That is, overall I had been 12 hours for the cycle trip. Yes, this was my longest ride. I am happy that I choose cycling for the commute.
Cycling is fun :)
