Nandi hills ride

My ride to Nandi hills with my friend Rosh is the one ride which I wont forget, even though it was a short ride. On one Saturday afternoon me and my friend decided to ride to Nandi hills from our house in Bannerghatta road. We took our friend Sayooj's CBZ extreme for this ride. The bike was new and in excellent condition. Soon after we started the trip rain started pouring and it was a heavy and a long one. We didn't have any rain gear with us. We waited for some time for the clouds to clear. But the rain gods were in no mood to stop. Then we decided to continue our ride in rain. The rain stopped when we reached the outskirts of Bangalore.

After reaching Hebbal we joined the newly constructed six lane highway to Hyderabad. Now the roads were dry and I started to rev the bike to its limits. Soon we reached the Nandi hills diversion. The road to Nandi hills from the NH is every bikers dream. The surface was good, traffic was low and also got enough curves. When we started the ascend to the hills the ride became more interesting as the road contains lots of hair pin bends. We reached on top around 4:30 PM. But we were completely blinded by the fog there. We roamed all over the hill. The temple on top of the hill contains excellent works of stone sculpture. Suddenly the rain gods started pouring again. We were wet and it was extremely cold there. But we roamed in the rain all over the place and that was the best part of that trip.

Around 7:30 PM the rain stopped and we decided to descend the hill. It was pitch dark and the fog made it difficult. The headlamps of our bike was not able to show the way through the fog. We made our descend very carefully and slowly as we were completely blind in the fog. When we reached the foot of the hill the rain started again. We did not stop. We continued our ride in the rain. The tires did lose traction in some places. But for god's sake we were safe.

Even though we were like wet dogs after the trip, we enjoyed it. We enjoyed the rain, the fog and the curvy roads. Hope every biker will have such memorable experiences.
