Day 3: Has­san to Madikeri

A day filled with scenic routes but a lot of climbs and pretty tir­ing too in the end. It turned out to be a long day for me. The best part was early on when we had the Gorur dam stretch opened up for us to cycle on — around 3–4 […]

Tour of the Nilgiris: Day 1 and 2

December 17th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Adventure, Cycling, India, Living, Travel

On Day 1, we made it from Ban­ga­lore to Mysore via the National High­way. It wasn’t the most pleas­ant stretch in terms of traf­fic, but I was just glad that I could get this part over with. With trucks and other high speed vehi­cles all mov­ing at break neck speeds and honk­ing con­tin­u­ously, it’s not really con­ducive to cyclists. But after lunch on the road, we reached our des­ti­na­tion — the com­fort­able Hotel Regaalis and even got some time to take in some sight­see­ing in the evening. 

Taming the bull – on cycle and on foot!

October 7th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Adventure, Cycling, Hobbies, Running, Sports

Our des­ti­na­tion: Nandi Hills, located about 60 km north of Ban­ga­lore and about 4800 ft above sea level. On top was Tipu Sultan’s sum­mer retreat and the remains of Tipu’s fort still remain. Tipu’s Drop, a 600 metre high cliff face, where pris­on­ers were hurled down the precipice when the king was really angry. Not […]

Yay!

On the Spice Country trail

August 14th, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Adventure, Cycling, DesiPundit, India, Living, Nature & Wildlife, Photography

On July 24/25th, we headed out to Coorg and Wayanad with Mud­dy­Boots (a new adven­ture com­pany) for a spice coun­try cycling trail. Here is an account of the trip.

Right on “Trek”!

June 22nd, 2009  |  by Anita  |  published in Adventure, Cycling, Hobbies, Living, Personal

So a year or so ago, I was pre­sented with a Her­cules bicy­cle. It’s a really reli­able cycle and stood me in good stead over quite a few long trips that I made. Of course, by the end of the trip, every mus­cle of mine would be strained, but at least I was get­ting some […]

Back from Goa!

December 23rd, 2008  |  by Anita  |  published in Adventure, Cycling, India, Living, Personal, Photography, Travel

Just back from a week long cycling trip to Goa.

We cycled over 60 kms every day over 5 days. The weather was hot and steamy. The ter­rain was up and down and mostly unpre­dictable. We crossed beaches, lit­tle towns, ham­lets, green fields, min­ing areas, hills, plains, forests and wildlife sanc­tu­ar­ies. We saw Goa like we’d never […]
