Monsoon Ride to Sakleshpur / Bangalore Benellians / Saaluguda resort

Here are few memories from last week #MonsoonRide  A teaser video to start with:

Bangalore Benellians rode to the greenery of outskirts of Sakleshpur to have a 1-night outing away from the concrete jungle. Accompanied by a Gypsy and a Monster.


Thanks to all the riders who joined and organizers who planned/executed the ride brilliantly :)

Anup +1, Dilip, Manoj, Mario +1, Monty, Shiva, Sairam, Soumyajit, Vishwas.

The ride started from Neelmangla Toll Gate, with smoky exhausts and foggy air. Courtesy to Dipin's 4X4, few of the riders planned a relaxed ride with all luggage safely tucked in the pickup truck. We had a volunteer to accompany the luggage- Monty, only because his 600i was still in garage :D

The first stop was to fill up the Gas-for bike and bikers.

Lesson 1: Never play with food ;)

  

We didn't wait too long to find the opportunity to capture the real shades of Monsoon season. 

The Monsoon has its first say on the way, so we had a quick stop to cover up all gadgets and ourselves. Though the drizzle on the wiser is unmatched experience, the pain of wearing a waterproof jacket over the riding gears was killing me. One gets suffocated inside as soon as you stop for regrouping or when the sun is out :(

Isn't this view looks perfect :)<3 font="">

A random shot to promote Lane discipline :d

For me, the best moment is checkin to Saaluguda resort with a hot tea served with a blurred background of your ride resting under open clouds.

The location, food, hospitality and facilities of the resort was unmatched. I would definitely recommend the same if you guys are planning to ride to Sakleshpura.

As they say 'King of Goodtimes' joined us, welcoming the Monsoon.  

After spending an amazing time, we all checkout to ride back to Bangalore, we had a final goodbye at the same starting point.

We had a Lunch stop to check out the famous Fish Curry (though i didn't like much:)

This time, I was unlucky one when I found myself with a flat tire. The biker brotherhood prooven its point where I got quick help from the gang. Anup quickly checked the puncture shop nearby petrol pump (lucky me it was open on Sunday..phewww), Monty helped to push the bike along till petrol pump. Within 20 minutes we were cruising again on the highway.
