XMas Holiday Ride (Bangalore - Munnar - Trivandrum - Conoor - Bangalore)



Adhoc unplanned ride, Had taken two days off after xmas on 26th and 27th. Parvez said he will start early morning from chennai and will meet me at krishnagiri and then decide where to go. Morning it looked like Parvez overslept and did not get a call from him till 8am. I had no clue where to go, Jo and Mooosai had already started towards kerala early morning. I called up jo and said he is some 150kmts off bangalore and on the way. I told him ok I will try to catch up and started towards mysore. 
Parvez Dude! at Munnar


8:30 I get parvez's call, he said dude I overslept where are you? turn back come to Krishnagiri. I turned back from Mysore road towards Krishnagiri. Waited at krishnagiri for Parvez to join, and we started from Krishnagiri towards Marayur. We started at 2pm and reached Marayur at 9:30pm. No food no beer there (had some crappy food road side and crashed ) 
Myself!


I did not want to go back to Bangalore the next day. I tried to persuade Parvez to go to trivandrum and then come back the next day. But due to some office matters he could not join me, instead he turned back to Chennai and I turned to kerala (tvm) Started at 10:30 and made it by 3:15 for lunch, mom had made mutton biriyani chicken fry etc ... good that I came home I had some good food and wine. and could spend some time with bumble bee. 
I had to be back in office on 28th, so next day at 11am started towards GK's place at Vaikom where Jo and Moosai would join me and carry on the Bangalore. GK's mom had made some wonderful lunch for all of us. After lunch we started towards Bangalore at sometime 3:30pm. Just made it to Mettupalayam by 11:30 and crashed there. 
Somewhere before Chinnar

 
Next day by 8am we started towards Bangalore via conoor. Ride was really excellent.  ( after almost more than a year so much riding in 4 days makes my arms ache and fingers swollen, not sure what is it, probably because of the different motorcycle or probably I getting old? but I am happy strangely no aches on the back or butt :) )
All together, the ride was excellent indeed. 
At GK's place after Lunch ready to go!

Updates after a long pause

Its been a long pause in my blogs, mainly due to not many travel trips recently. Had been busy with personal stuff and a job role change at work. Wondering how things can get busy and time becoming so precious. I have to do something to squeeze the best out of the available time.

cheers
