Dear all,
After an awesome ride from Nandi on Sunday (1st August), rode my bike (bicycle) to Mysore and back and it was pretty awesome and tiring experience . I am really happy about my stamina now.
Actually had a plan to ride Mysore on 31st for which I had set my mind, but was not possible after seeing an huge list of riders making to Nandi on 1st August 2010 – I joined Nandi ride too. After reaching home at 6.30PM from Nandi on Sunday (Round trip of around 120KMS) I had a really good sleep for couple of hours and I dreamt about doing Mysore on next day.
Woke up early morning on 2nd August 2010 and started my ride towards Mysore through Kanakapura road @ 5.00 AM and reached Columbia Asia Hospital on Mysore ring road @ 2.30. ( this nine n half hrs ride includes all the breaks while riding towards destination.) Started the ride from Konankunte cross on Kanakapura road via Kanakapura , Sathanur, Honnaganahalli, Kollegala Main Rd, Bannur, Mysore Ring rd reached Columbia Asia Hospital. Took SH17 while coming back to Bangalore and reached Bidadi @ 11.55PM. Was really tired and began to have leg cramp so instead of continuing the ride back home, had to call my uncle to pick me up at Bidadi bus stand. While he was on his way to Bidadi I relaxed myself and also went into sleep for couple of minutes. After few minutes I was woken up by a honking sound made by a KSRTC bus. Waiting for another 20 min my uncle reached me and was driven back to his place in Bharathnagara on Magadi Road and it was close to 2 AM.
Did not do much after reaching his house apart from applying some pain killing cream to my legs, after that went to sleep and had set the alarm to ring at 3.00 AM again, as I had to reach my home on Kanakapura road as soon as possible to reach my office @ 5.00 AM on 3rd August. (my shift timing is from 5.00AM to 2.30PM). At 3.00 AM woke up and got ready and my uncle rode me to Magadi Main road where I managed to get a bus to Banashankari and was at Banashankari by 4.00AM. Cycled slowly for last 6 KMS & reach home @ 4.45 AM. Overall I was able to manage to ride for 250 KMs on single day. I am still feeling the pain in my leg muscles as I am writing this from my office desk J .
NOTE : Reflective jacket that i bought few days ago keeping this ride in mind really made me visible to others during the night ride .
Thanks & Regards,
