STR (Saturday Trail Ride) plan Date : 11/04/09

Here comes the ride plan for coming Saturday and ride-report of last STR (Saturday Trail Ride).

Ride report, SRT (Dated: 4/4/09)

As people say picture says thousand words, so here are few of those words album. :-)
Here is the link to the ride-report by Paro, and Anand's album is here.



Most of us know by now that the fun of riding places that you dont know is amazing, it takes you to a lot of surprizes, same was tru with this ride as well.
We started at 6:05AM headed towards, Bellandur-bibs runners spot (Near Gera Inl. School). We hit the trail with the beatiful sun on the horizon. We kept riding through all those trails, some of them were narrow enough for Anand to be Off his saddle (I will leave this to Anand to explain :-) ). Around 7:30AM we were at Gunjur village, where we had our BF IVC with missing Vada :-) ...
As soon as we started we saw another bunch of bikers coming from Whitefild side, we slowed down for them to catch-up and after talking we figuered-out that the group was headed to Jain-farms to have lunch. For once i got tempted to go woth them, but they planned to ride on road all the time which was not so inviting.
So the next trail we saw, we were on that. .... ... And after that dont ask any one of us where we were .. totally confused about wher we wre, but very happy with long and nice trail. Every time we hit tar, we looked for trals to go on... We saw orchids, cultivation of roses and other flowers. We saw the national flower after a long time. Now the heat was on and we decided to head back, so with whatever sense of direction we had with that we left towards Sarjapura Road, and we hit that after dommasandra. We decided to meet Sharath at Decathlon (Wise decision indeed). One of it's kind store. Also came to know that they will have a canteen and place for shower there and parking place is there anyways. So probably we can have our STRs started from there once they have all that. Then we said BYE to each other and back home !! :-)
Some stats :
Distance : 63Kms
High-lights : Lotus pond and Rose garden
Terrain : trails

400Kms in a week, the milestone

I wanted to celebrate by Bday in style this time. So i set myself a target of 400Kms for the week including the distance that i cover commuting to office.Till friday i covered 210Kms as for 5 days commuting to office, 42 Kms to and fro. So half of the target was achieved. In remaining two days i had complete remaining 190 Kms at-least. So i decided to go Nani from my house and be back, whcih in all is 160 Kms.
Saturdays Ride:
Saturday morning @ 5 Me and Ashish (Pocha) started from my house to Hebbal where we were suppose to meet other road bikers Venki, samim, Rushi, Deepankar. We started from Hebbal by 6:30 and on the way i had an injury in my calf. However i wanted to complete the 160Kms. I toughest part was to clomb the Nandi 450 meters of altitude gain in 5 Kms with my injured calf. We headed back from there it was easy till highway, but after we took the highway major headwind stuck us and it was difficult to keep pace of 25KMPH also. But finally reached hebbal, the bad part of this stretch was the traffic. After the new BIA has opened up the traffic is really bad here. I did not have anything to eat since morning other than one small piece bread. So i was feeling hungry by now, but i wanted to eat only the special thing coocked by my wife that day @ home. So finally slowly but without any stop i pedalled to my house.
The problem was that i had just completed 155.6 now, so i went 2.5Kms ahead of house and came back which made the cyclemeter read 160 for that day .I reached home by 1:15 and at home i ate like i was eating anything first time in my life.

Sunday Ride / My Bday ride:
I was still short of 30Kms so had planned of going for a shorter off-road ride. Rekha turned-up bang @6 at the meeting point, and Mayank was 22 Mins late. We three decided that we will not do much off road as it will be too muddy/slushy. So made our ride through some small roads avoiding the traffic on Sarjapura Road. We took one of the small roads which initilly looked not so paved and but going down it was rally bad and untarred.
Somone had to take the B'day bums (which was earned by me, by completting another year), and the strong nature chose poor Rekha for it. She had a fall directly on her bums (That reminded me of the "humpty dumpty" ryhm, because my son keeps singing it) . She is a brave old lady (That is how me and Mayank teased her), said i am not heart and we carried on and completed out ride 36Kms on cyclo-computer. This was Mayank's first ride, he did quite well in the ride.

With this i complteted 210+160+36 = 406 Kms for the week.

And happy celebrated my Bday on sunday with my family at home

Thanks and Regards,
