Turahalli


Went to Turahalli this morning around 15 km from my home, they call it turahalli forest but there is no forest as such. but definitely somewhat green and peaceful place. There are some good MTB trails to explore, I have only hybrid bike so didn't explore completely.



 Temple on top of the hill while climbing





 I was bit scared when I reached the hill top, there were many eagles flying on top of my head





 Then these guys came to my rescue, shouting "Hiiii Uncleeeee" :-)





 It was very peaceful under this tree on hill top





 My Trek 7.1





 Another view of temple, I like the fragrance of these flowers, brought few in my bag as well :-)




 
 My Trek 7.1 again, looking cool, isn't it ?

 "Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." --Steve Jobs





 Nice trails for MTB





Saying Good-bye

Kanakapura Trip [Cycle Diaries]


This time we went towards Kanakapura its approx 55 km from Jayadeva flyover, Bangalore. Throughout, the road was very good. Its a fun ride while going, down slope most of the time and early morning cool temperature. The surroundings are beautiful. Many ponds and greenery all around. One of the best part of cycling in southern India is you get tender coconuts everywhere, really great refreshment. Overall we covered more than 100 kms. While coming back it was bit exhaustive due to sun light and long upward slopes. The trip duration was approx 7.5 hours including all the refreshment breaks.
