Tirupathi bike trip….

team - ctc

Finally i made a one day bike trip to tirupathi 6 months after joining  CTC…i would say it is one of the longest day in my life as like chetan bhagat ..we had assembled  at koyambedu at early 4.30  since it is our first time and got quite confused that we got landed up in a wrong place …after moving back and forth little bit …we found a bunch of people in the same place ..we got introduced to few ppl there ..and started the journey…

 

    First  and second mistake we did was joining them without registration and not given  them our contact detials and following the scorpio (in midway we r nt  aware tht we r following another car) through the flashlight which let us to end up in a different route through tada NH…i hope they waited for a while and started after getting my call…we went all alone to  tirupathi mising the bunch of ppl and the fun … had  few bumps and few skids in our bike near kalahasthi…which assured us  the wound that wouldnt leave us for two weeks (any way we covered it up with our  new Tshirts :) )…we  reached tirupathi before  every1 and did our first aid from appollo pharmacy there …finally we joined with giri sir and a buch of ppl there for breakfast…whew….we made it finally …

Then we started from Alipiri  for the step trek which every1 thought  that it would be  a forest  ride…although we are quite  dissapointed that  it was only  a step  trek …we had a good time getting  along with people like bala,satya,ashwin,amrish,anand,ramprasad,ashok,phaneesh,krithi,giri sir,delphine,ram,ansar…damn it really hard to remember the name rather faces;).finally we reached 2388 steps without much break n pitstops which was quite easier compared to other route which was 3500 steps n almost  thrice the distace of  around 9 kms…any ways up in the hillswe didnt have a grt time..we has our lunchwhch was really good n vsited some funny places like demolished temple,akash ganga..n some park…i hope its jus for our relaxation…we finally left back through the steps this time it was quicker than we thought ..wow we reached the base in 40 mins dude….we had some good chat with people over there and we started kicking our bikes.

We assured that this time we should be a  bit careful while returning  we need to tailgate the car not the flashlightsbut in the midway my bke screwed us in a  deserted village on sunday night…finally we managed to reach the next village with the help of giri sir, phaneesh n co  and got our bike repaired..Third  mistake  we did was choosing the path through tiruttani …which was quite painful reach to  chennai at midnight  through thiruvalluvar ,avadi,thirumullaivoyal,padi route..

 

Finally we learnt our 3 mistakes of our trip …..(oops!!!!…sorry bhagat   :) )

oh man it was really a great experience n a grt weekend rather that watching movies or relaxing  in beach …thanks to the CTC team, bala ,ramprasad for making a wonderful trip….
