It was a breakfast ride. The plan was to ride til Agali in kerala at a distance of 55 km, Planned a week ago. Very few riders were there on the list when I posted about the ride. Slowly one by one started adding names and finally we were 9 riders. The ride started by today April 14 2024 morning by 630 am. There were 2 assembly points mentioned as per the convenience of the riders to join. The starting point was VOC ground in Coimbatore. Myself, Mr. Kamal and Mr. Thilak joined there at the scheduled time 615 to 630 am. We 3 started riding towards the next gathering point Thadagam road and once we reached there Mr. Prem and Mr. Arunkumar were waiting for us before the assembly point. Later on we joined with Mr. Rajeel, Mr. Raggul, Mr. Sreedhar and Mr. Sakthivel. The ride started from there towards Agali by 7 am with short introductions and brefing. On the way we stopped at Kanuvai for Tea and with little chit chat we rode towards Agali and we reached Agali by 815 am and had breakfast ( tasted local kerala food as today is Vishu we didnt get much varieties )with discussions about next ride and about past experiences and the discussions went on about bikes, travel and some of our experiences. Finally we started back from there by 930 am on the way back we had a short photo session. Finally we reached Kanuvai and few people got diverted towards their destinations and the rest diverted one by one on the way.

It was a good time with fellow rotarians and the discussions went on and on about travel and experiences which was like an ice breaking sessions as we few were not much known to each other while starting the ride. By the time of photo session mostly we all started feeling free to discuss and interact with one another. Expecting more bonding and brotherhood in future rides.

The important topics during discussions were Tanjore chapter inaugural ride and Bhutan and Leh rides.
