The Bike Trip

Ram and I had just finished a trip to Belur, Halebid and Shravanabelagola using Harsha's wedding as an excuse. Two weeks later Ram again started off with a plan for another trip to Sringeri and other nearby places. We asked Sathish. He readily accepted and suggested that we make it a bike trip. Though that was a casual suggestion, that was the root of the plan. We asked Bhanu. We hadn't mentioned that this was a bike trip. But he said, "Im coming only if this is a bike trip". When we told our plan he accepted without a moment's thought. So it was 4 people now.

Later, Ram dropped as he had a few things at the office to be taken care of. Bhanu, Sathish and I discussed a lot of things (places to go, dates, etc.) and decided on the dates 9, 10 and 11 May. It was getting exciting (for me) as the dates neared. Reason being, I have never been on a bike trip in my life.

The plan was was this,
Day 0: Leave on 8th afternoon to Hassan. Stay for the night.
Day 1: Leave for Chikmagalur on 9th morning, check in to a hotel and go to Mullaihna Giri, Bababudan Giri and Kemmanagundi.
Day 2: On 10th go to Horanadu and Kudremukh.
Day 3: Leave for Bangalore on 11th morning. Chikmagalur would be our base camp.


3 guys, 3 bikes, 3 days and 1 hell of a trip.
