Jan 1st 2008

31st Dec, 2007 - a friend suggested that we hit onto the road and ride to a place 80 kms away, and celebrate. All plans done by the evening, and decided to start by 10 PM. 4 bikes, 8 people, none of them Pulsars/Thunderbirds :-),
only an age-old Splendor and a Passion, with other relatively new Glamour and Shine.

Riding fast enough, we were just to reach in time to the Coffee day before Maddur. Bursting of crackers had already started by the folks who had assembled there. Mostly college guys from nearby.


Too much of a crowd we thought, and decided to proceed further towards another
Coffee Day shop after Maddur. 20 kms ride further.

The ride back was simply superb. That happening the first night ride of my life, that too at 0200 hrs, of a chilly and misty morning through the Bangalore-Mysore highway ....

We halted for hot tea, at the Ramanagaram bus-stand. Not a tea drinker although, I enjoyed it at the momentuous occasion and timing.
