Motorcycle Adventures #3: Riding in the Hesaraghatta Lake

How did we end up here?

Indian roads are too crowded and the traffic too congested for us motorcyclists to enjoy our beloved machines. We've created a solution to it though. We zeroed in on the root cause of traffic problem and removed it all together. What is it you ask? Roads! We figured traffic could only be where a road is. So we decided to go where there are no roads. One such place is Hessarghatta Lake. The road got emptier (less crowded) as we got closer to the lake.

There were some nice twisties as well




We finally got into the lake




Rode through a trail to a beautiful bamboo forest by the side of the lake







That's where we were greeted with a very welcoming sign!




Someone had gathered bamboo leaves like this and burnt it. Not complaining. Looks kinda cool!

Into the lake we go



Had to do a bit of work in crossing a small pond

We stayed there for about an hour talking about motorcycles and stuff. Finally, it was time for us to leave. So I set up my camera on the tail end and off we go.

Got few patches of comparatively empty roads before the city started to crop up

I am very jealous of seeing such trips at this time. Autumn have come to our end

Haha! The weather's not good here since a couple of months so there's not much riding going on but we do go out once in a while when we can. I hope you get to do that soon!

That gif of you riding through the Bamboo forest is really nice. Thanks for sharing this! Loved it..

Thanks. It was really lovely riding along those trees.

So good those Gifs really I can feel the adrenaline, pretty crazy the bamboo leaves thing. You are a bunch of persons I was wondering with how many people do you ride. Nice journey :) Where are you guys heading next?

Well, I like to ride in small groups as bigger groups tend to scatter around all over the place. 5-6 friends are all it takes to have a really nice adventure. Thanks for your comment, really appreciate it!

If I ever get a bike, I'll call you to take a ride.

Haha! That would be something, wouldn't it? Loving your work. You put so much effort into it. Keep it up :)

Would be great!! And thanks for stopping by in my blog I do put a lot of effort on, made them with love haha
