I started from Pune on 15th Feb, at 07:15 hrs.
I had planned to take a night halt at Belgaum, distance some 350 kms from Pune. The NH4 was a dream run, aided by some good speed by the ipod in my ears. All the way, 4/6 laner smooth highway. The bike cruised to 100 with great ease, on her own, with little throttle.
I got to 30 kms from Belgaum at about 13:30 hrs, averaging some 54 kms to the hour.
THE RIDE FROM PUNE TO GANAPATIFULE
27 January 2006:
Biswa Bandyopadhyay, Avanish, me and my wife Medini decided to ride out early morning 27th Jan. We met at Chandani Chowk at about 0800 hrs.
Navendu Singh and his riding partner Arpan met us briefly before peeling off to the Pune Kolhapur highway. Arpan is a wiz kid with anything on wheels. Our group of three Riders proceeded to Mulshi.
Chandani Chowk to Mulshi
The ride from Chandani Chowk to Mulshi was pretty bumpy a distance of some 25 kms. The road is under repairs and should be a dream to ride on, a few months from now. Stopped for breakfast halt at Mulshi, overlooking the great lake.
