Keeping in mind, that my blog readers will be very few.
I will try to make the reading a bit worthwhile.
I have had a year so eventful, that this will be etched in my memory as the turning point in my life.Which has seen me grow as an individual. The way I see it from now, I am destined to be a traveler, a philanthropist and an Engineer, barring other social responsibilities.
I have been into biking from the past year, There have been rides of varied distances and varied terrains. There has been dry and sultry highways of TN, winding ghats of Kodai, munnar, Chikmagalur, Kundadri. Offroading at Kakabbe, coorg. I feel I have done it all!!
But a couple of days back when I got introduced to the Landscape of Rajasthan by a wise friend of mine, that I realized how vast India is with respect to tradition as much as the area in it.So I see what lies before me is a sea of opportunity to travel/ride. Provided my employer is going to patronize it.
Biking is always an individualistic phenomenon, group riding just for sake of safety is meaningless.Especially when you are better off alone. After all these rides, most of them in group of varied sizes. The feeling has crept to me that riding alone will make you realize your own self.
Though solo riding means, the rider should have the basic knowledge of removing the Tyre, or replacing the punctured tube, or a cut clutch cable, or tighten the chain, etc. Assuming that the rider carries all the necessary tools and spares including a foot pump.
So the coming rides shall be a flurry of solo rides, perhaps the first ride will be to Kanyakumari.
Hope the wind of intuition is strong enough to carry across the river called Life.
Rajasthan is something u need to check... I love travelling and visited that place last year.. Amazing place..Not sure how it wud be biking to tht place..
