I was over excited since i bought Schwinn Sporterra on 8th Sep 2011 and was planning for some ride on Saturday, having couple of places in mind i slept on friday night.
Woke up at 6 am on Saturday and started from Katriguppe and rode to Big banyan tree and reached at around 7.30am. Was riding at normal speed and dint want to push myself very hard. After reaching BBT and i was wanting for more. Never satisfied by the ride thought of having some HOT TATTE IDLI at Bidadi. Headed to Bidadi from BBT through some village roads. Had to take LEFT at CHUNCHAKATTE( Guess the same name) and traversed through village roads, Bidadi was around 18 km from BBT.
The village roads was very awesome covered with paddy field and i enjoyed the max, Reached Bidadi at around 8.30 am and belted HOT ( Yes very hot as there were some hot chicks having breakfast)Tatte Idli's
.
Again state of confusion and full of energy. Without a destination i thought of riding towards Ramanagar thinking of riding as much as i can and at one point where i cannot ride anymore take enough break and head back to Bangalore. Reached Ramanagar at 9.45 am and had pineapple and cucumber. Headed straight and found a LEFT turn saying KANAKAPURA 28 Kms. The SH 17 was boring for me after riding through village roads from BBT to Bidadi. Suddenly decided to head towards KANAKAPURA and took left.
The road from Ramanagara to Kanakapura is awesome and covered with lush green, Was able to reach Kanakapura at 11 am with average of 20kmph. Was feeling WOW when reached Kanakapura. The board at Kanakapura said BANGALORE 55 KM. That was when i realized how far i have come and as the heat was increasing slowly i started feeling the distance to be covered and was tired.
Found a river immediately after Kanakapura and headed towards it. Took a enough break of around 15 mins and regained my energy. Started riding and i was totally feeling the pain and tired. But with the determination of riding i rode slowly with taking "N" number of breaks and my average was very pathetic by now. Reached Harohalli and took a long break of 20 mins and i felt refreshing, Pushed myself hard and found 2 cycling couples ( Kishan and Archana) who were doing a small ride. Rode with them till Konanakunte cross and it was 3 pm by then.Was riding for 8hours and every nut and bolt of my body was screaming its presence.
Reached home at 3.45 pm at Katriguppe and took a hot shower which gave me some energy and crashed.
Since i did not have a cyclocomp and checked the distance covered with google maps. It said 145 KMS. My highest so far in Engine less 2 wheeler. I was so happy after the completion of the ride.
The link to the pics taken during the ride. Apologies for the quality as it was taken with my poor mobile camera.
