A total of 12-15 bikers decided to ride to Yogavana Hills on Saturday, 14 March '09.

I met Peeyush at Airtel Office, near HDFC Bank at 0545 on 20090314. Then we waited for CPK for 10 minutes. But there were few issues. CPK's friend, Manish was waiting for him on the other entrance of Bosch and his bike was having less pressure in the front tire. All the attempts of filling up the tire were waste. All four of us rode till Jayanagar and it was already 0640. The meeting time at Merida Junction was 0630. Then CPK asked me and Peeyush to leave. We started and reached Merida Junction but No one was there. I tried calling Prashant but he did not pick up the call. Assuming that we would be able to catch other rides, we started to ride on the Kanakpura road.

This is where I and Peeyush met others in the group.

This was my first ride, so I introduced my self to all other. After waiting for some 5 minutes, we started.

This is where Prashant fell off from his bike.

He was trying to take pic of others while riding. The road was in turn and he did not notice a pot hole. It was good that he was not badly hurt, his camera was safe and no big vehicle was coming from behind.


This is where, Anand got a flat tire.

Peeyush and Chos tried to fix it but there were many punctures. At this point, Pradeeep and Ashish also joined us. Pradeep had an extra tube which was used finally.

This is the right turn that we took:

The route is straight and not the right turn
