Lush green out fields, wet roads and bike ride it's a unique experience.


Lush green, Wet outfields and bike ride is a unique experience.
This was my 2nd ride on the bike. Location unknown but had read on the internet
that it was awesome.
After all the dropouts, 5 of us were ready to roll.
Unlike the first ride, this time rain was going to hit us hard.
The route was virar-ambada-wada-suryamal-khodala
The stretch upto Ambada was pain, the road to virar was broken with pot holes all
the way.
The stretch from wada to suryamal is something unseen (best possible wet roads with lot of fog on the way), unheard (you can only hear the flow of water).
The ride itself was eventful. We were 5 of us - Amit, Jigar, myself (netmagic),
Amog, Niket (bombaybikers).
On road from virar to vrajeshwari, Amog skid on his bike. It hurt him a bit, bike was fine.
On stretch from ambada to wada - Jigar fell down. His bike in one pot hole, himself
in another. But as he says, he is experienced by now to fall from the bike ;).
Guess who was next? None other then myself.
There was water flow on the road which had lot of "Leel". 3 of them went through with thier bikes shaking but not falling down. I did not see it. I went through and there I went skidding. Fortunately bike slipped away from me and nothing happened to me. Bike's leg guard was twisted. Footpeg bent. Amit was quick to pull the bike
up. So very eventful trip ;)
The waterfalls were just amazing and so many of them on the way. We bathed in 2 of them.
The photo sessions were unending as there was so much to capture. The roads were empty whereby we parked our bikes on the road to click photos (and from all angles too).
With some hot tea in the cold weather (yeah all of us were shaking), we were ready to return.
There was only 1 sad thing in the end. The road from virar to borivali was 40km of pot holes with some roads in between. It was literally "pain in the butt".
The photos captured have come awesome and will upload it to picasa soon and post the link here.

It was really nice trip, what i can say is those who missed this trip they missed their life's one good experience, why i am saying this coz if you were on the road from Wada to Suryamal, Khodala you will feel how is the beauty of nature looks in monsoon, the greenery, the sound of water which make u so relax by the time......
It really felt so good when we are on the way to back home from Khodala - Suryamal to Wada, after descending from the "GHAT" the road was combination of DRY and WET but the condition of the road was really good. We all drive our bike at 60-65 kph on that road. My mind was stop thinking other things we usually think while riding the our "dream machine"

One of the awesome experience of the life which will remain in my heart till i am on this planet :)
