zip-zap ride to hognekkal

Got a call from Parth at around 10 in the night when i was busy working with a customer with his server screwed up, as didnt planned for any rides over the weekend I quickly agreed for the hognekkal ride. I have ridded with him on one of the earlier rides and he is a good rider who can maintained speeds. So even though i had another meetup on sat afternoon, i was fine with the long morning ride. Finshed work, got freshned up and left for the meeting point. It was me, parth and his room-mate on a black ZMR. All set and we started off at around 5:30. As it was early morning didnt encounter much traffic on the busy hosur road. Crossed hosur, the tarmac was butter smooth for crusing at 3 digits. Managed to cover the first 105 kms in 1:30 hrs with couple of leak breaks.

Crossed krishnagiri and took a snack break. Anna at that dosa shop only speaks Tamil, so after struggling for some time we finally were able to place and order and get over with it. By the time we left that place it was almost an hours time (total waste of time...grrrrr). Started towards the destination by 8 and reached the place by 9:30, covering another 80 kms of good and bump roads. The view on the way was breath taking,

After spending some time it was getting hotter, so decided to head back to bangalore. Started at around 10:30 and reached home by 12:30, the return journey was almost a sprint covering 185 kms in mere 2 hrs. Parth's room mate got stuck in traffic before the electronic city fly over, so was parted ways there as i need to attend one more get-together. But it was one awesome ride that i can definately say......many more to go btw.
