Well, there are a few things which you feel like doing and you end up doing it in a way which is not satisfying! This trip to Mysore was one of them. Anyday, I'd love to ride down to Mysore.
The first trip took 3 hrs while going and 3 hrs 45 mins while returning to Bangalore. The second trip was much better.. Took just 2 hrs while going and 2 hrs while returning.
The best part of the ride was that we (me and NP) rode at a modest speed of 90 kmph both ways and took a 15 min break at Maddur (the so-called half way point b/n Bangalore and Mysore).
Details of the trip:
Time of departure from Bangalore - 6 AM on 15th July
Starting kms: 4404
Time of reaching Mysore - 8AM
Time of finishing Breakfast @ Guruprasad - 8 25
Dumped bags and helmet @ Lytton's place
Reached CFTRI School by 8 45
Met Aunty Geetha/Lokamatha/Satnam/Deenamma and many other teachers... relived the old memories of school
Left school to reach Kukkarahalli kere by 10 - Spent abt 40 mins there
Left Kukkarahalli kere to reach Karanji kere by 10 45 - Spent abt 90 mins there
Karanji kere (the name actually means a lake with a fountain!!) has been revamped and is now a favorite haunting place for all Lovebirds... (both the feathered kind and otherwise). Missed my GF... it was as if me and NP were two gays enjoying the nature...
Met Ranga by 12 05 near NIE.. went to his place, watched couple of 'scenes' from Mera Naam Joker.. My Fast track goggles lost one of the side frames -- Left his place by 13 45, reached Agrahara by 13 50, collected bags and helmet
Dropped Ranga @ DD Urs Road by 14 20, went to Dasaprakash Paradise and had lunch. Realised that I had to go to Vidyaranyapuram to buy sweets for Babu's b'day. Reached V'puram by 15 40 and left Mysore towards Bangalore by 16 15.
Reached Bangalore by 18 15, but took the ORR thru Nagarbhavi and reached home by 18 45.
Now, the reason why I was not satisfied with this trip:
1. Got caught in rain as soon as I left Mysore
2. Had multiple plans in Mysore like going to KRS/Balmuri/Yedmuri/Betta but could not do anything like that
3. Previously, had thought of staying in Mysore but NP had to work on Sunday and hence, rushed back
4. Could not meet any classmates there
5. Could not spend quality time with anyone
But, as always, riding my bike gave me such a high that I'm sure no drug (Cocaine/Heroin/Opium etc etc...) would have taken me there! I will always love biking!!!
