Riderboy's Journey

Bangalore- Rameshwaram- Dhanushkodi- Kanyakumari- Munnar- Bangalore One week before the ride planned for a Solo trip as usual being a working class person wanted salary to hit the pockets to even start the trip. In the mean while i had a chat with my friend who was keen to join the ride and that became group ride with two of us, but not big numbers. We initially had discussed the plan to ride on the 2nd June 2016 to 5th June 2016{ Bengaluru- Valparai- Munnar- Thekkady- Periyar and Bengaluru}, all was ok and we decided to take tents and sleeping bags, not to book any accommodations anywhere in advance also. Day 1 {2-06-2016} Starting Point was at Jaguar showroom silk board at 5am and my friend had an hectic day previous day and had reached home late due to rains and was not prepared for the ride.

We started the ride and badly needed a tea to start the day with our ride, so headed towards a coffee day on the hassan road before the hotel Mayura. Had coffee at CCD and we had to stop again for Breakfast at Mayura which was 106kms from Bangalore exact at around 8am we headed to Towards Thirthahalli which was almost 231kms from that hotel.
