Default My first long distance trip

hi guys
this is about my first long distance cycling trip done last october over 4 days starting from ooty and finishing at kasagod ..... a wonderful trip i should say... here are a few snaps i clicked during the trip... most of the trip i was huffing and puffing trying to keep up with the other more experienced guys so could manage to capture only a fraction on the beauty of waynad....

more detailed write up on the trip done by fellow biker gautaman is here

Went through the bangalorepedals blog. Exciting trip you guys had.

Now the wait for the monsoons is intolerable.

Waiting for more triplogs on bikes

Cheers
Eric

Chandru did you manged to get your bike fixed or did you have to completely replace it? Maybe you guys should look at trains for transporting your bikes or maybe contact some movers and packers for it.

thanks guys for your comments...

the climate during most of the ride was simply awesome.. infact we had a wonderful morning ride in pouring rain down the slopes of waynad...

yogesh the way it looked at first sight i thought i need a new bike... but actually the front fork broke into 2.... the mechanic just put a old fork in its place and its serving me fine till now...
ya definitely trains are the best mode from safety and cost...
