How did I complete my Costal ride on My Royal Enfield500cc, One life have a Passion for Memories!

One life is not Sufficient to explore our #Incredabileindia. You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding

Total Distance covered 5,300kms ! This is my 2nd Longest Ride, 1st 7,000km to Ladhak and Leh from Home :)

Well, By the time I reached home it’s 4:00PM 11-01-2021 from Anantapur, My Last stretch of ride, I was so emotionally riding from Anantapur to Bhel, It’s just 350kms, But it took hack time, I even did not had a Breakfast ?? Started from Hotel around 8:AM and Reached Home around 4:pm. Just one stop for Lunch at Paradise Biryani point at Gachibowli hotel for Chicken Biryani!

Ok, how did I start and finish Costal ride that’s question? – Total distance approx. 5300kms, Number of days 17days, Total 3 Riders it’s me and #Raj and #Huda, these gentlemen are hardcore riders and they are from Bellary.

By the way before ride I was 97kgs, Now I am 104kgs ?? ha ha. That’s ok, before memories these are nothing! My entire food during the coast ride is Fish, Fish and Fish and eat one of the best and Yummy taste.

Ok to much Dabba, coming to point.

The route which I am mentioning is mostly for two wheelers, because few 100's of Km, cars impossible may be! 

Day 1 Was very Emotional because of kids, they had given sendoff.

Day 1- From BHEL(Home) we had started around 11:00am to Sholapur and reached around 7:00PM, we had taken hotel for night because my other two friends suppose to come from Bellary, By the time these folks reached its around 2:00am

Day 2 – checked out hotel around 9:00AM in Sholapur towards Mahableswar and had our 1st fish Thali somewhere on the way to Mahableswar. By the time we reached Mahableswar its around 8:00pm, took a hotel.

Day 3- Site seeing in Mahableswar, It was very cold and was dreaming that my entire coastline would be same ?? , Its was nice site seeing, I guess you guys had seen the pics, But once video comes out you can see it.

Day 4- We had checked out from hotel around 9:AM and headed to Pune, On the way our rider Brother #Abresh (Who is Data warehouse consultant) was waiting outskirts of #Pune ( that’s new city of pune ??) we had good time for some time and headed to city, I was supposed to meet my good friend #Anvesh (Works in Wipro as Project Manager and my who was my Roomette in #Saudi Arabia, thought of to meet him early and have lunch and head to Navi Mumbai, But we had got invitation from Bikers carriage opening in Pune, So we had been there representing our #Wanderers and met some wonderful riders and now Good Friends. Story ends.
