26th October : Mangalore - Mysore

We all got up on time and had decided to leave by 11pm. The day began with an interview with Anisa from daijiworld.com, followed by a local tv channel. chatting with the Mangalore guys took a lot of time and we left the hotel by 12 noon only.


The line up of Mangalore riders did look good, with lots of 2strokes around too.


At the junction where the guys escorted us too, Kwokfist pulled up some good ones. By the time we left from here it was well past 3pm! The plan of making it to Bangalore seemed like a distant dream now


Within 15-20 minutes, we were riding in ‘true india’ – this pic says a lot


My machine for today was the Blaze too. It felt perfect around the numerous curves but once the rains started, the tyres didn’t feel too good. just after taking this picture, I stopped for some local snacks and had a tough time interacting with the guy at counter! None of us knew the other’s language…


Madikeri was done in dark, and we decide to call it a night at Mysore and what a terrible riding experience. Roads were pathetic to say the least except for the last few kms. We fell short of our target Bangalore and checked into the first hotel we could come across once on the outskirts of Mysore.
