BHIMASHANKAR RIDE
BHIMASHANKAR RIDE
LONAVALA - BHIMASHANKAR - LONAVALA
270 KM RIDE
IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE MY BARODA AND LAVASA RIDE, I WAS A BIT BUSY WITH MY WORK. ONE OF MY FRIEND SUGGESTED THAT WE SHOULD GO TO BHIMASHANKAR FOR RIDE. I AND MY OTHER FRIEND WANTED TO GO TO MAHABALESHWAR, BUT AFTER LOTS OF DISCUSSION WE DECIDED TO GO TO BHIMASHANKAR.
I WAS RIDING WITH TWO OF MY FRIENDS
AKSHAY BHAI ON HIS RE THUNDERBIRD 350
AND HARLEY OWNER KOUSHAL BUT THIS TIME ON HIS RE CLASSIC 350
AKSHAY BHAI WAS RIDING FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH US, SO IT WAS A BIT TOUGH COORDINATING WITH HIM EARLIER BUT IT WAS NOT A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERIENCE.
AS SCHEDULED WE LEFT BY 7:00 AM FROM LONAVALA. OUR FIRST HALT WAS AT A TEA STALL IN TALEGAON. THE CLIMATE WAS CHILLING COLD. WE WERE FULLY GEARED UP BUT THE TEMPERATURE WAS STILL FELT.
AFTER TEA WE STOPPED BEFORE CHAKAN ON TALEGAON-CHAKAN ROAD FOR SOME SNAPS
AFTER RIDING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR WE STOPPED NEAR DIMBHE DAM, WHICH IS ON THE WAY. THE VIEW IS JUST AWESOME. THE WATER HAD DRIED UP, AND IT LOOKED AS IF WERE IN NORTHERN REGION OF INDIA
YAA AT LAST THEY ARE ROYAL ENFIELD FANS THEY STARTED MAKING FUN OF YAMAHA AND EVEN TOOK ME OUT OF THE PHOTO, BUT I SOME HOW MANAGED TO GET A BIT OF MY BIKE IN THE PICTURE.
AFTER ALL THIS FUN WE REACHED BHIMASHANKAR. WE HAD TO PARK OUR BIKES A BIT FAR FROM TEMPLE AND HAD TO GO WALKING AHEAD. THE JYOTIRLINGA THERE IS SO PLEASING TO EYES. ONLY ITS GLIMPSE REMOVED ALL THE TIREDNESS.
WE SAT THERE FOR ALMOST HALF HOUR, PRAYED AND RELAXED.
THEN WE DRANK SUGARCANE JUICE AND HAD SOME CHIPS. WE DID NOT HAD OUR BREAKFAST SO WE WERE LOOKING A GOOD RESTAURANT BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY GOOD NEARBY. SO WE DECIDED TO PROCEED BACK TOWARDS LONAVALA.
ON THE WAY BACK WE ENTERED IN TO DAM AND EVEN HAS DRAG RACE BETWEEN KOUSHAL'S RE CLASSIC 350 AND MY YAMAHA R15

I WON THE RACE
WE WERE HUNGRY, SO WE RUSHED TO FIND A HOTEL. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN CHAKAN, BUT SOME HOW WE MANAGED TO REACH A GOOD HOTEL. HAD OUR LUNCH AND THEN REACHED LONAVALA BY 4:00 PM.
TIP:-
THE ROAD UP TO RAJGURUNAGAR ARE GOOD BUT THERE AFTER THE ROADS ARE BAD.
AVOID NIGHT JOURNEY.
