Impromptu Ride

"Baithe baithe kya kare karna hai kuch kaam shuru karo antakshari…
“areee antakshari kyu khelni h chalo jaate h kahi...”
“kahan jayenge yaar raat k 9:00 baj rahe h??”
“chalo lonavla”

Haha YESS! After hearing this we all got very excited as we decided to go on a bike ride to Lonavala. One of my favourite pastimes besides eating is bike-riding. Riding bikes for such a long distance at night was a task we were inexperienced at. This was making us a bit nervous.

We then decided to meet at my place (my house was our adda) after dinner to discuss the plan.

It was already 11:30pm, so we decided to sleep for two hours and leave by 2:00am. Though the lights went off, excitement and nervousness kept us awake. Leaving at 2 was the least we could do. So we left by 12:30am and reached the old Pune Road around 3:00 am.

There were no street lights which made us doubt our plan but going back was not an option. Honestly, I am the scaredy-cat among my friends.

 After an hour or so we reached at the foot of  Lonavala Ghats.
We stopped, had breakfast and relaxed for a while.
Then we resumed riding through the Ghats by 5:00 am and soon reached the peak spot ie Tiger Point.
Pleasant climate with cool breeze and beautiful landscapes kept our zest for life alive. Soon we headed back home.

This is a two year old trip but one of the best experiences I have had so far. It is always great if you are accompanied by our friends.

Thank you for reading and bearing with my first blog. Keep reading.

RIDE SAFE.
