First memorable ride with Wanderlust

Where I can find true travel freaks ? Roadies who are always ready for outings & ride ? There are riders in Nagpur who are always ready for long rides, such questions always come to my mind. The most difficult part in travelling I feel is to convince your friend for outing /ride. :p When I purchased new travel beast then I was not sure whether I will get true company. But .. If there is WILL there is a WAY. I came to know about Wanderlust. And from last couple of months I was looking for chance to have ride with some proficient riders. I got opportunity to join Wanderlust. Yes, a renowned bullet group in India. If you are looking for true travel freaks then do join this group as I Did.

There is no lengthy procedure to join this group. The one & only one eligibility criteria for joining this group is – Bullet. If you have that then join rides organized by this group and you are part of this group. Same way I joined this group by participating “Ride to Zilpi for Off-roading”.

Off-roading ?? what’s this ?? Riding bike off the tar road. :o I did this often but not intentionally. Haha :D So this was my first experience.

Me & my “Wild Horse” ( The name of my bullet ;-)) were ready for such adventurous ride .

On Sunday, everyone gathered at PITSTOP, Khamla (Shop for bikers gears from Wanderlust member). I am always thrilled with the thump of bullet when I start it. Now you can imagine, how thrilled I was when 10 bullets started. The thump, the sound, the surrounding, everything was so thrilling. I was enjoying each & every moment. Everyone, on the road, near signals, turned around and watched us. Wow, everyone was watching us! Great feeling!!. They must be wondering that from where these people came. Are they from Nagpur ? :p

All riders were following style. Their graceful attire was also eye catching. Stylish helmets, tough shoes, modish jackets, gloves. I realized that these guys are genuine roadies. I was preparing my wish list at the same time. What I need to purchase for my next ride :p


The real fun started when we reached to our destination. 2 kms from Zilpi lake, the spot which I have already discovered (Reference : http://adventure-infinite.blogspot.com/2010/07/family-outing-new-spot.html ). But this was not the destination which I was thinking about. We crossed the slippery river. Few guys struggled (got slipped) while crossing this river. But it was fun and everyone helping each other. The journey of amazing off-roading began when the real raw road started. We were tumbling due to rocks on the pathway. Few paths were muddy which added the flavor of true off-roading. ;-)

We reached on hill top by following these spontaneous path. We took a rest of few moments and then started riding over the hills. The route was bumpy but electrifying. I never did such riding in my life.

The endpoint was Zilpi lake. A beautiful lake surrounded with lush green mountains. Took a deep breath of fresh air and came back to Nagpur in evening.

Nobody forgets first experience of anything; so I won’t. ;-)
