Got the bike serviced, bike insurance renewed, emission test done all on a Friday before my bike trip to nowhere.
Woke up early and managed my ass on bike and got rolling by 6am. First destination, "Halebedu" All i know is its near by Belur, visited belur many times on my way to Chikmagalur, but never this one. With all my rain gear and awaiting the monsoons to hit me hard, rather sun shone bright up on me and the roads pretty dry. What was the maximum distance i rode without a stop ? may be 120 or so ...... can i best my previous ? these were the thoughts racing in my mind. Trip metre already shows 160 plus and its another 90km to Halebedu ... very tempting to make a 250km without stop. Early start and cool climate has given me best chance to do that. Reached Halebedu by 930am and updated my better half, shes like What ? you have already reached ? ... a sound of satisfaction with in said YEs non-stop. After yummy puris for breakfast headed towards the ancient architecture. Looked similar to Belur, clicked some snaps and waited for the rain to subside.
Drizzle, lush green fields and rain water criss crossing the black tarmac roads ... Wow this was my ride from Halebedu to belur. Took the route to mudigere and from there to hoskote. Hoskote is the trek ending point of the famous Ombattu gudda range. Wanted to check that way in my bike so in no time was in Hoskote. Its a neat single trarmac road all the way till sakaleshpur, with about a half a kilometer of no road. Had lunch at sakaleshpur and started back home at 3Pm. Managed to do a single stop in between at Magadi to change my wet trousers to a dry one. Could not avoid the bangalore Bannergatta road traffic which took me some 40 mins to wade through. Reached home by 7pm .......... aaaah nice monsoon bike ride and that too 600 km in a day . Hmmmm cool :)

A start at 6am, non-stop 250km ride to halebedu, photoshoot of the architecture, ride in monsoon rains to sakaleshpur, back to bangalore by 7pm with 600km in a day. Then attended a function at friends home , Thats why i call it "monsoon time travel"
