Ride to Madikeri from Bangalore .

black12rr · 23rd July 2007, 15:28

Hello guys did a Madikeri ride few weeks back , 2 days ride , sat and sunday.

2 bikes

Apache modded to 200cc
Me on my humble 180 cc.

Route – Bangalore – Mandya – Srirangapatna – Hunsur – Periyapatna – Kushalnagara – Madikeri – Virajpet – Gonikoppa – Kutta – Mananthavadi – Sultanbatthery – Gundlupet – Mysore – Bangalore

Distance covered: 743 Kms.

Was bugged up with work and had to go somewhere , what best than madikeri .It was raining all the 2 days , we had fully prepared with rain jackets and gum boots

.

Highlights were , harangi dam, abbey falls ,irrupu falls .

I will let the potos talk now.

On the way to madikeri

Harangi dam in full force , infact they had opened the gates at 10 am and we were there at 11 am .

Effect of the water , its the bridge that is submerged , not the road .

On the way to abbey falls

Majestic iruppu falls

Mysore palace on return .

Thats it guys .

Good snaps Black12rr, must have been awesome riding in this weather, the dam with its sluice gates open is cool. Where did you stay overnight?

Nice Pics dude... Biking really thrills specially in these weather...

I really liked the bridge submerged by water pics....Was this planned/known to everyone before opening the sluice gates??? or it happened accidentally?

Thats nice Adventure. Very nice places for sure. Good snaps too. 3 weeks back my 3 years old FujiFilm FinePix S7000 developed technical snag in CCD and photos come with vertical green line. Now I purchased Kodak C763 digi cam which is quiet good as well soon I plan to visit coastal karantaka.

Ravi.
