A getaway to the hills
Friday, tea-time:
Me: Man, I'm sick and tired of everything. I want to run away.
Vas: As if I don't want to...
Me: Man! Lets go hit the road! Target: Nandi Hills. What say?
Vas: Anytime!
And we were on the road by 10am on Saturday morning, on my black beauty, heading for Nandi Hills, about 60km from Bangalore city. Soon we crossed Jakkur, and had tea and biscuits from a road-side shop and hit the six-lane NH-7. Its a real good quality road but for the small stretches in between where the construction was still on.
We reached the foothills in an hour. The climb there on was just too good. I absolutely LOVE to ride through winding roads and this was the place to do it. The bike was responding to every wish of mine, and what a bliss it was, to run it through the smooth, though narrow,
road.
It was too windy on top. I was even afraid that I might get flown away by the wind. Vas's case was slightly better; he had more fat on his body than mine :) There was this fat couple out there who had a nice time watching us struggling to walk in the wind.
The place was not crowded. And the weather was perfect, too. Spent around four hours on top of the hill, going around every nook and cranny of the hill, and clicking away a lot of pics.
The best of the day was yet to come. We rode down to the plains all rejuvenated, and happy to be away from the chaotic city life at least for a few hours. On the way back we stopped near a rocky hill that we'd marked as 'to-be-climbed' earlier. Parked the bike on the roadside, and scaled the hill in 20 minutes- It wasn't as simple as it looked: the grass that grew on the rocks were pretty sharp and the rocks were too smooth.
A smooth ride back to the city with a couple of kgs of fresh grapes in the backpack,breakfast-cum-lunch-snacks from a fastfood corner in Brigade road, dropped Vas back and I was home by 7pm.
What a way to spend a weekend!
