DAY - 4 & DAY - 5 " Chasing Dream " Udaipur - Delhi - Udaipur Solo Ride
DAY 4 ( 4.4.2017 ) SHIVTALAO (RJ) TO DELHI
By the time we slept it was 1:30am and i had decided to leave at 4:30am. We had total of 5 mobile phones. I had kept alarm in all the five of them. I woke up at 3;30am, and got ready. Koushal and Sourabh were coming to drop me till the main highway.
I texted my parents at home and mamaji in Delhi, that i am leaving. We traveled 45km till the main highway which took us 1 hr. Really thankful to Koushal and Saurabh For dropping me till the highway. they returned from there and i went ahead.
I took my first halt 80 km from the place where my friends came up to. Roads were FAB, traffic was very less, yaa there were trucks but not too many i was maintaining a good triple digit speed. I was not riding rash, the roads were empty. temperature was aroung 27 degree which was kind of good.
Sun was just rising which was not a problem. The problem was the fuel. I had half fuel when left, and on the way there were no fuel station. I was a bit worried. Running out off fuel was the last thing i would want to have with me on such an important ride. Luckily I found a fuel station which was open, but it was on opposite side of the road. I thought myself even more fortunate when i found that the road divider over there was broken through which i could take my bike on opposite side. I then refueled my bike to maximum.
I reached Ajmer by 7:30am, distance covered was around 250 km. My average speed was also good. I kept everyone updating my location every time I stopped. I really wanted to go to Ajmer Sharif Darga but i was a bit inside high way and had to travel a lot more distance ahead.
After Ajmer I pulled my bike to its limits. I know on a tour i should not have done that but what to do SUPERB ROAD + SUPERB BIKE + SUPERB ME = SUPERB FUN
I am really sorry to all the people who did not like it.
There is Flyby road to Delhi from Jaipur which skips the Jaipur city. Its a kind of fly over. almost around of 25km. Just before that there are many fuel stations. I thought of Refueling there but saw that there was enough fuel so thought of fueling up later. As I took the flyover may be 5 km after that my bike started stalling. I got scared, I first looked up at the fuel indicator it showed enough fuel. I was tensed I dint wanted my bike to have a brake down in between. and one big problem is that that 25km of road does not even have a pan stall. No fuel station was there. If i ride my bike at 50kmph it was running good but as soon as i tried to increase the speed it used to stall. Last 5km went like hell. I was riding at a speed of 25-30kmph. I then found a fuel station, where i parked my bike opened the fuel cap and to my surprise there was enough fuel. I dint knew what was the problem. I asked the petrol bunker guy to full the tank. after that there was no problem, my bike was again running into triple digit speed. I think that place where i refueled first had something mixed with the fuel due to which there was problem in my bike. I even checked my tire pressure, my tire pressure had dropped by 10bar in each tire.
A few km after the bypass road was completely over, i parked my bike and took some rest. I had been drinking water every time i stopped, so this time i brought some soft drink and water. I called every one and told them about my location. I purposefully took that halt. I personally did not wanted to halt, but looking at my bikes condition I halted. I halted for almost 30 min.
Now Delhi was 240Km, For the first 100 km i dint halted. After that riding interval started to decrease due to excess temperature. I had to keep myself hydrated. I stopped between 30-40km.
The roads are also not in real good shape. Due to heat road has melted and as you enter Haryana traffic starts getting worse.
AB DELHI DUR NAHI ( DELHI JUST 95KM )
Now i dint wanted to stop until Gurgaon but due to increasing temperature i had to take a halt in between. I drank water and ate one of the biggest Kufi in my life. Eating that Kulfi till the end was getting even tough than my Delhi ride.
As I was going to Delhi for the first time, My Mamaji had told me to give him a call as I enter Gurgaon. He said he would guide me there after. I was not sure how well will that work, But trust me guys My Mamaj is a Genius, he guided me from point to point without even a mistake. I dint even took one turn wrong. I had to travel almost 35km more up to his house from which 10 km were signals, turns, U turns, Flyovers. Trust me guys I dint went 1mtr wrong. GPS may get hang some times but my Mamaji is a super GPS. Special thanks to Mamaji for guiding me through Delhi ka traffic. And last 1km I was escorted my by sister till their residance.
I reached there by 1;30pm. I took me 9 hours to travel 638km. I really enjoyed the ride.
A soon as i entered the house, I saw everyone eagerly waiting for me. They treated me like a VVIP. I was really felling bad for trouble them. They were waiting for me to have lunch together. Mamaji had made such a delicious food that vanished all my tiredness. We then chatted till the evening. I then got freshened up and went to India gate with my Cousin. I am also thankful to Probin bhai for taking me to India gate. After almost 25 km of ride we were finally at India Gate.
What a moment for me cannot be expressed in words. I done know why but tears were rolling down my eyes. I was so happy. That I had finally reached my destination. I clicked some pictures over there. We had Ice-cream. Explored the area and returned.
We reached home by 9:30pm. And again Super Delicious Dinner. the food was so delicious, i ate a lot. After dinner i was felling sleepy. As soon as I laid on the bed, within few seconds i went into deep sleep.
DAY 5 ( 5.6.2017 ) DELHI TO SHIVTALAO (RJ)
I had planned to leave at 7:30am from Delhi but i got up at 7:30am when my cousine woke me up. I then hurriedly got ready. Then Mamaji ke hath ka delicious Breakfast, followed by cold coffee. I was over full. They also gave me Real Fruit for the journey. I then left around 8:30 from their place. I am really thankful to them for such great hospitality. They made me so comfortable at there place as if I had been there many times. Mamiji had even packed Sandwiches for me, which i accidentally forgot at their place. I am really sorry for that.
I refueled at the nearby station and came back from the same road i had gone through.
My first halt after that was 180km from their place. I dint stopped anywhere on the way.
Mean while my friends had gone to Jodhpur. I was in contact with them. As Pali was in center we considered it as meet up point. I reached Pali by 3;30pm. When I called then they were still in Udaipur. So I had my lunch there. The hotel where i had my lunch was crowded so i could not wait there so i decided to find a place ahead. I found a petrol pump ahead. I asked if i could wait for some time, the attendant said yes. After 30min the man inside the office asked my what i was doing, I had not seen that man earlier due to dark glasses of the office. So i went inside and asked for permission to sit for some time on which the man forced me to sit inside the office and wait for my friends. I am really thankful to that uncle for his kindness. My friends almost came 1hr 30min later. We greeted and then left towards Koushals House. It took us nearly two hours to reach at his residence.
I was so happy that i had successfully completed my ride up to Delhi. I had traveled 628km on that day. Then my friends chatted with me about my whole experience, The people i met The kind of roads and all other things. We decided to leave next morning for Vadodara. We had fun that night. My friends washed their bikes and then we had a fun inhouse spin.
We had our dinner and then we slept. We decided 5:30am as our departure time.
