Reached my office on Hosur Road, as
I needed to confirm my friend's phone number where I was going to stay
in Dharapuram.
|
8:20 AM
|
Started from the office finally. Was
able to tie up my bag on my bike. |
8:45 AM [41]
|
Reached Hosur. A flyover is being
made which seems to be part of the NH development program.
|
9:35 AM [91]
|
Reached Krishnagiri. The roads
between Hosur and Krishnagiri is very bad. The distance of 50kms was
covered in about an hour ... very slow.
|
9:50 AM

Stopped at Dhaba for rest and
cold-drinks.
|

S Bends !!!! The NH7 is really being
made superb. All of a sudden i hit this marvellous road , 3 lanes each
side. Zoomed up to 110kmph on my bike :-). Then hit these simply
marvellous S-Curves on the road. Took the first one at 110kmph, and by
the time I was out my speed had reduced to 90kmph. Lovely!

Stopped at a PetrolBunk Just before
Omalur. Starting to become very hot now.
|
11:40 AM
|
On the road. I should remember to
send the photo to the guys at the petrol Bunk.
12:00 PM [203]: Reached Selam. Thankfully there is a Bypass and so I
won't have to inch through the traffic in the city.
|
12:20 PM [224]
|
Stopped at another
roadside Dhabha for lunch. Lunch = 3 chappatis + 1 dal + 2 Limcas + 1
kinley water bottle = Rs. 55.00. The interesting thing was a village
temple just opposite the road. It was playing south indian pop music at
full blast !

Off Again
|
1:30 PM [274]
|
Erode. Wrong place. Took the wrong
turn ! Called up my friend and asked him for directions. I don't know
the local langauage (tamil) and the locals don't know my language. This
is a pain.
|
2:40 PM [329]
|
Reached Kangayam. Tried to call up
Prabhu .. no answer from his house. Shit ! Okay. lets just go ahead and
reach his place... no point in waiting.
|
3:25 PM [361]
|
In Dharapuram finally. Called up
Prabhu's residense again. His dad picked up, and came to pick me up from
in front of the SBI building. People were amazed that i had come all the
way from Bangalore on the bike ! Prabhu's dad told the people there who
could not understand english or hindi, that I had come all the way from
Delhi on bike ! ;-)
