Having heard about Kanyakumari and rameshwaram in the geography/History books in School, it was quite overwhelming to think about a ride to those places, let alone actually ride there. We from Bulls of Mysore, had long standing plans to ride to KK. It finally materialized on 27th Sep 2009.
Five Bullets , Five riders were all set to conquer our dreams.
For all of us this was going to be the longest ride to date. hence the excitement knew no bounds. Even sleep eluded us on those nights, before the start of the ride.
I should not forget to mention about the ayudha pooja we did on our Steeds a night before the ride. We were blessed by the almighty for our mission.
Let me introduce you the riders and their Steeds before getting into the ride.
1. Wilson D'Souza on his Silver Electra 4S
2. Prathap(Self) on Optimus(Mach 350)
3. Bharath(Body) on his Mach 500
4. Diwakar(DJ) on his Black TBTS
5. Akshay on his Iron Hide, Black Std 350.
27th Sep'09
We were all set to start from Mysore by 5 30AM, starting point being in front of Mysore High Court. Me, Willy and Akshay started from the spot by 5 45AM, towards Nanjangud road. DJ and Body joined us at the ring road junction at 6AM. So after a short tea break we started our ride towards Gundlupet.The weather was just perfect, with light breeze and acceptable traffic. We were cruising at a stable speed of 75kph, feeling the wind through our helmets . We were feeling like GOD, deluged in to the ride.
