attempting my first 1k in a day ride. to bangalore on 29th june. approx 1040kms. return on 2nd july. its modest benchmark compared to some of the friends who have done over 1350 but with the combined age of the bike and the rider at half a century, its presenting as a task nevetheless.
route - mumbai - pune - kolhapur - belgaum - hubli - davangere - tumkur - bangalore
return - bangalore - tumkur - chitradurga - hospete - ilkal - bijapur - sholapur - pune - mumbai
hopefully the man, machine, road and weather will cooperate.
its a test, once passed, ceases to be of any importance and pretty boring to repeat. so the return cud as well be the immensely scenic route (esp in the monsoons) - bangalore - tumkur - shivmoga - honawar - karwar - goa - NH17 - panvel - mumbai. approx 1200 kms. and too scenic to be timebound.
all of us have our dreams..... few follow them... kudos for your attempt! way to go smit.
