Woke up from bed to get ready for the trip.
Packed my bags, dressed and moved out taking the NH4 highway through Poonamallee Road. 0 Km.
Stopped for taking a butt rest, gulped down some glucose water, swapped my riding goggles. 65 Km.
Breakfast break, stopped at a mess in the outskirts of Ranipet (SIPCOT) Nagar, had idlis and pongal. 125 km.
Outskirts of Chittoor, high temperature, took a butt break under a shady tree, had people gathered around my bike enquiring what I am up to and for what. 200 km.
Kolar, petrol pump, take a drink break, feeling sleepy and bike too feels hot, leave it to cool down. 264 km.
Reach MG Road, call up my cousin to get the keys for her house. She is out of office, need to wait. 334 km.
Keep searching for my cousin's house as lost the direction map to her house. Scorching sun and desperation to get to home and refresh tires me out. 344 km.
Get a lot of SMS welcoming and congratulating me for starting off the trip.
Call Venkat's place to get directions to his service center.
Meet up with lots of the trip members.......Ashok, Balray, Sanjay, Sharath, Chitti
Got confused with the route back as Balray was supposed to come with me, lost him in the traffic melee and also with the current (electricity - Ed.) not there. Tried desperately to reach my cousin and her hubby to get back home.
Reach back home with asking directions from people around.
