It was long since we two rode out together. After looking for different locations and quarelling over manageable distances, we decided a winter trip to bhandardara would be cool.
So on just another boring Saturday morning, we set out to bring some excitement in our lives. Some breakfast outside Bhiwandi Naka and we were on the freshly laid out 4 lane NH3. There was road construction still going on at places but most of the road was awsome.
As always, crossing Ghoti was painful and so was the road after that to Pimpalgaon. Remember missing the turnoff last time at this place and going ahead further. But this time, we were more careful. Some chai paani and photo graphy breaks later, we were at the last stretch of the painful road to Bhandardara.
The standard room at the MTDC had a nice lake view and justified every bit and double the price paid for it. Post some chicken and roti and loitering and chilling out, rode out to Rhonda falls. It was a trickle in the winters but I am sure it would be a spectacle to watch in the monsoons. Heading back to bhandardara, we went for an arbit boat ride just before the sunset. got some nice captures. That evening had nothing too exciting.. it was just a night far from the amdding crowd, din and bustle.
The next morning, rose up late, had a hearty breakfast and set off for the return journey. Nothing much to write home about except the ride down the Kasara ghat. THe road has been freshly laid out and 3 lane one-way with amazing tarmac, near zero traffic and inviting curves. Did 90kph all along the way down.
Got caught by a MAMA at THane, according to him somebody wearing so much riding gear in Mumbai ought to be suspicious. Loved the look on his face when all my papers turned out to be in order.
Thats it, just a relaxed ride for the weekend. Pics follow (lets try out this picass slideshow thing)
