Exploring trails with BHPians: Triumph 400X, Suzuki V-Strom & a Thar

A few calls to each other followed by some messages, and there was a new plan in place. The location chosen was closeby as it was already noon.

SUNDAY OUTING

Last Saturday, we slept with a frozen plan of riding to explore some trails around Tamilnadu. Sunday early morning we woke and were un-plesantly surprised by the heavy rain and chilly wind. There were three of us in the plan. As we were mentally not prepared for rain ride, and it was too cold, chilly and wet outside, we decided to drop the plan and went back to our dear sleep.

As the day progressed the weather slightly improved. Rain took a break and we were feeling itchy to miss out on an opportunity to ride with a great weather. A few calls to each other followed by some messages, and there was a new plan in place. The location chosen was closeby as it was already noon.

We all met at the city outskirts toll at around 1 pm. Two of us were on bike, (myself on the 400X, another freiend on the SX200) and BHPian Redliner on his Thar.

Throughout the ride, it was slightly drizzling and chilly.

Close to the destination, we were greeted with thick fog. Thanks to the weather, as this place seldom gets fog in the afternoon. I have been to this location many times, but the fog gives a totally different look and feel, a dreamy one.

On the way up, we stopped at a few locations to take some photos, chit-chat and soak in the mystic foggy afternoon.

The climb to this hillock is easy but offers scenic views of the valley below. There is also a difficult trail going to the top, but given the wet weather, we thought to leave it for another day.

On the wayback, we explored some flat trails and lake beds and it was almost evening and time to headback. Just before hitting the town, we stopped at a restaurant for some well deserved snacks and drinks, to call it a day.
