Bike trip to Savandurga
Some colleagues and me in the office were planning for a long ride for some time. I and Cheitanya decided on Savandurga. But, as the stretch was long we needed some practice in the form of shorter rides. We went around the Varthur lake stretch (45km) on one weekend followed by Pearl Valley on the next weekend (90km), and was sort of nice preparation. We were five for the Pearl Valley ride, but for the final ride of Savandurga were three of us; as the others had some commitments to attend to.
We were determined to go ahead as this was for what we'd done the preparation, so how could we leave it or postpone it..And, Yes we did it successfully! Scintillating and incredible ride considering the major part of the ride was through lush green forests and Manchinbele lake on the way. This sure was fun and a challenging ride, as there were many grueling uphills on the way (we also had fair amount of downhills though!).
We were thinking about a 100mi ride, but nevertheless this 112km ride definitely had a 100mi ride effect; and was a great one too, beckoning for more long rides..
