Tamed the Bull

Postby ameetbhide » July 31st, 2010, 7:24 pm

Maiden ride to Nandi hills along with wifey and a friend. Left home early and reached the NH7 turn off by 630 am . Took around 15 minutes to set up the bikes.

Warmed up by riding to Nandi base, a short 15 km ride.

I wanted to climb with out stopping. I almost made it but stopped only once at the last curve , didn't know that across the bend was the archway into Nandi.

Was thrilled to see that I could do it in 37 minutes ( Saddle time).

Wifey did it in around 50 min and Abhilesh in 42 minutes.

Some snaps.

Thanks Venky/Sxr/Sam.

Deepak . Earlier the plan was to ride on Sunday , but had a cricket match to play. Would have been good to meet up with a few cyclists . In fact had told Arvind that will join him at CCD or the turnoff.

Now the plan is to to do Nandi every weekend.
Regards,
