First monsoon ride of season 2011

Well on Saturday, I started planning for Sunday ride. As I wanted to take out my bullet for ride after 2 months. My machine got new look and style. I was excited to take her for long ride. So I explored Google map and I found huge reservoir near Wadgao dam i.e. Makardhokda.

I always eager to visit new places. I sms club members about this place and other details of ride. Anu, Mukund, Neeraj sent confirmation for this ride.

On Sunday, around 3pm, the atmosphere was cool as showers shown presence for some time. Though it was not raining heavily. I called up Anu, unfortunately he was facing some issues with his bike so he could not joined us in ride. I took out my bullet and directly visited Neeraj's house.

Me and Neeraj started our ride at around 4pm. After Khapri naka, it was raining heavily. We enjoyed first monsoon shower during this ride. From Butibori, we forgot to take first left turn and choose different turn where road was pathetic. We reached to railway crossing (as shown in the map). We asked local people for confirmation of route.

~~ Suggested route to avoid bad road .. (State highway 262 as shown in map is very poor)


The road condition was average. I noticed that headlight of bullet was touching number plate when bike bumps from speed breaker or small gandha.

Pata hi nahi chal raha tha ki road main ghadhe hai ki ghadho main road :|

But at one point, it bumps so high, nameplate banged on headlight and damaged it. It was predicted but still I didn’t do anything. :(

Same time, Neeraj was few meters away from me, he was also waiting for me as his bike was not starting. The fuse was short. Oops, now what ? he took out wire from broken headlight of my bike and bypass the fuse. :p

We were just 4 kms away from destination. So we decided to continue our ride. We reached our destination i.e. Makardhokda Dam. Wow.. what a view, super duper. It was indeed a huge reservoir. We parked our bike near dam and relaxed for couple of minutes. Neeraj did some mud biking. :p

We have to rush to home as my bike’s headlight was broken so before dark we have to reach city. Without wasting time, we returned back. We had snacks and Tea at Kamat restaurant, Butibori.

By 7.30pm, we were at home. It was wonderful first monsoon ride of this year and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers
