We had all kinds of excitement on this trip... u name it and we had it
... Starting from mumbai at 9pm.. BERTY accompanied us till Kalamboli...Then people getting lost near Wadkhal naka and going almost 20kms in 2 diff directions... then finally after millions of frantic calls(ofcourse all of em were to and from me)
....we finally found each other..YAY!!...then then rush to reach MAHAD with every one touching 90kmph....Suhas's chain breaking in the dead of the night in the middle of no where ...wid just me Raghu and Suhas together... ...Then Raghu trying to drop me with the rest of the gang trying to fight the worst road choke up ever....Then Raghu goin back to Suhas and we continuing to MAHAD... The scene of BROWNIE and MONICA getting almost getting pushed of the road by a bus and then us realising that he had dosed off
..... Reaching Poladpur and dropping dead to sleep that very instant.... Waking up at 8am coz of the sun and just passing time time till Raghu n Suhas arrived....Playing frisbee in a school hall.... then leaving for CHIPLUN at 11:30am without RAGHU n SUHAS coz they said they'd catch up... Then our race against time to cross all ghats before night fall.... From Chiplun--->Sangameshwar and then to Rajapur... Raghu and Suhas catching up wid us at Sangameshwar...Then our race to Rajapur...and then the best / worst thing happened.... the rains caught up with us after Rajapur... so then NIGHT + RAIN RIDING it was for us.... the final run of 32kms from KASAL to MALVAN being the most nerve and ass wrecking... yet the funniest part here was no one wanted to lose sight of the other and all were riding in sort of a huddle formation...hahaha.....reaching MALVAN at 12:30am and looking for accomodation... finding an amazing place to stay rite next to the TARKARLI back waters... the view was breath taking.... then the nite discussion abt how to go to TARKARLI with gurls as the MALVANI holi is supposed to be extreme... Thanx to Mallik for taking the initiative and making sure it was sure to travel before 8am and reaching Tarkarli... TARKARLI the best beach i've been to yet... played in its cristal clear wates till 12noon.... then had amazing malvani lunch and came back to MALVANI encountering some holi players along the way... again geting lost in the maze type streets of MALVAN.... Packing up and leaving for RAJAPUR at 4:30pm.... Again doing Rain Riding but through beautiful scenic routes..... RAGHU-ME and SUHAS-MONICA being the tail gunners, having the time of our lives enjoinG the beautiful sceneries and clicking pics... SPOTTING A DOUBLE RAINBOW.. Playing witness to an unfortunate accident along the way where a sumo hit a bull, which flew off in the air and landed on the other side of the road...which shook my nerves.... Reaching Rajapur and putting up in a lodge... Having a lovely nite session were we listened to and told the most hilarious stories and everybody laffing their hearts out.... then getting the most needed 8hrs of sleep... Morning 8am leaving for Hathkhamba.... then towards CHIPLUN.. one the way making a welcomed detour to GANPATIPULE... the route to Ganpatipule being the most dangerous yet the most beautiful... Spending an hour on the beach playing frisbee and clicking pics... then again a race back to KHED... 3hrs of non stop riding.... Having lunch at 5pm at Khed and then again a rush towards mumbai... Again 2hrs of hardcore riding and a break at Mangaon..... Then again a 1.5hrs dash to Wadkhal naaka.... Dinner at Wadkhal and the final dash to Mumbai.... Bypassed panvel and on the route to Vashi, Raghu and Me met with an accident by running into a huge crevice in the road... skidding an falling in the middle on the highway.... GOD saved us... no injuries... but im still shaken.... "AND FROM THIS DAY ONWARDS NO MORE NIGHT RIDING IS GONNA HAPPEN UNTILL AND UNLESS EXTREMELY EXCEPTIONAL"
