Ride to X Places - The Story - Saputara

Group riding is fun, more than that, riding with friends is super awesome, and how a good pillion makes ride more enjoyable - I was about to get to know it on my way to Saputara.

After having a very light breakfast at Tanvi's place, where all of the discussion was about where I was last seen by them, in that shaadi or other shaadi.. not mine..some relatives  :)...and after all of that and good laugh, we started gearing up. Now we were four. Me, Akshat, Vikas and Tanvi. 

We again started our journey, this time to Saputara. 
The route is very very straight, get on to Dindoli Road,  and keep going straight till you reach Saputara. 
We fueled up our tanks and then get along the roads. Meanwhile I was also giving Lil Tanvi few pointers, main of which being to not fell asleep and if at all feel sleepy, let me know, stay alert about road ahead, wasn't expecting more from her but here also I was proved wrong :) . Slowly and gradually we all picked up our roads. Cross winds were still very much there and alongwith traffic, making it difficult. Though the roads were surrounded by very picturesque scenery but didn't feel like clicking, I was more engrossed in capturing all those moments in memory for ever. But then how can one stop the bud from growing...







The roads were two lane all the way till Saputara, but very picturesque. 
I will let the photos do the talking for some time...
And yes..as notes suggest, it took us almost 2 hours to reach Saputara, which included ample stops to click photos, one of the most amazing Ghat, not particularly Ghat, but plateau roads I have seen till now. Very strong cross winds at places, and climate was most inviting. As it was cloudy almost all the time, with few rain here and there. 

The Road!!!

Ahh!! Me enjoying


That is the Road we traveled, and it is awesome !!!
