June 2024’s Monthly ride, 2nd June, Sunday to Mavanuru Shri Bettada Malleshwara Gudi, Chanrayapatna. Total distance 2 ways 380 km.
Over 27 riders had registered for this ride but previous night’s heavy rains made few of them shaky and finally we had 17 riders at the start time. Secretary Vinod took the centre stage and addressed the riders, stress on traffic rules and hand signals were made. He made it very clear about zero tolerance to the riding safety gears, no compromise on it. Riding groups were reworked with few last minute dropouts and new groups and riding sequence were announced with 17 riders. Past President Srinivas Babu offered prayers for the safety and success of the ride. Thank you sir ji. Soon all were on the highway, it was a cold morning with last night showers in the city.
All rode for 80 km to our breakfast stop at Dhruvtaare. All had the best South Indian breakfast of Idly/Vada/Dosa/Kesari Bhath/Pongal/Upma and strong filter coffee. Soon Vijay Mane and Ramanathan announced that they will sponsor breakfast on the happy occasion of getting their new bikes of Himalayan 450. Thank you thank you thank you.
Four riders decided to return back to Bangalore after breakfast due to important meetings to be attended. Rest 13 moved on for the next destination – Mavanuru Shri Bettada Malleshwara Gudi at Chanrayapatna. It was another 70 km ride for all. We were on top of the temple spot, it was a mesmerizing experience to witness huge wind mill turbines in straight lines from very close quarters fixed around the temple. One could hear the sound of big blades of windmill while rotating. As we were at a height the windmills were seen at our height itself. All visited the temple and offered their prayers and took time to take a few photographs. It was a very satisfying place with not much of a crowd and traffic, but were happy that other biker groups were also present.
It was close to 10 am, we started our return journey to Bangalore and all had reached home by 1 pm, with few stops in between for refuel and tea break.
