Karimnagar Trip (by Jems)

We started off around 6, with a new rider Pankaj, very enthusiastic rider , along with Saurabh, Abhiraj and Deepak and this writer. Off went through the state highway, and were riding as if we own the road, suddenly a few intruders came into our territory threatening to overtake us, but we FORGIVE them, and let the high-end bikes, which were hardly visible to us to overtake. Had a proper breakfast at APTDC on the state highway and resumed our journey. Happened to stop at Siddhipet Lake which was almost dry, then proceeded to the cave nearby. Then, a cartload of monkeys descended near our bikes and started to admire our 5 bikes. We had our usual photo session at the cave and proceeded towards Karimnagar.At the outskirts of Karimnagar, we happen to stop, then a passerby offered us help about the places to see and even gave his cell no in case of any trouble. Rest assured, we travelled towards the Resvoir, where we became celebrities LITERALLY.Few policeman had come for a training session at Karimnagar Police Training Camp. When they saw us at the resvoir, they wanted to have pics with us. Since, we are all modest and humble Avenger group, we refused, but they begged and pleaded us, so we had to oblige, they had pics with our bike too, then we proceeded towards LUNCH.Had a hearty meal and went to Deer Park nearby, slept in the pagoda till we became pakoda's and left for the city. On the way, we stopped at Shamirpet Lake, rested a while and returned to base camp feeling like CELEBRITIES excited and thrilled

Bidar Ride 1(by Jems)

Me, Deepak n Abhinash started off at 6:00 with an Irani chai n headed towards Patencheru--> Zahirabad -->Basavakalyan as the route in our minds , but according to the age old saying "The only permanent thing in the world is CHANGE..after we crossed the AP-Karnataka border, Deepak took over as the translator for the small size 3 member group and we decided that Basavakalyan fort would not be worth seeing if we wish to cover the Bidar Fort and resvoir, so we headed towards the Karanjai Resvoir.We spent an hour over there, because we had a nice time out there, a major repair work was goin on the dam and we could notice what exactly was happening, with few members of the Repair work group in orange jump suits learning to swim and dive in the dam and lot more which was way above our head except for the civil engineer Mr Dpk.As we headed towards Bidar, as you can see in some of the pics, the road where we could see from miles together, it reminded me of the song " I walk a lonely road on the Boulevard of Broken dreams", we stopped and took pics. and then headed straight towards Bidar town, where we hogged in a Punjabi mess near the Nanak Zeera Gurudwara, me and Deepak were not in a mood to move and wished to go n take a nap in the Shahpuri Park nearby.Abhinash, forced us to Bidar Fort, once we reached Bidar Fort, we were amazed at the huge fort which laid in ruins except for few places. We had a photo sessions and also had a look at the 2nd Largest Cannon in Bidar Fort. Spent few hours in Bidar Fort with each of us tryin to strike a pose . We just had 2 pit stops while coming to Bidar and while coming back , we stopped at Pedda Poor to have a cuppa tea, and next stop was at BHEL, where we all dispersed .Again,it has been proved that after the Vizag Ride that , number of riders dont matter, Passion for biking does matter

Nagarjuna Sagar Ride(Manoj)

I was waiting for this ride.It was my first long trip.I had sent a scrap to Jammy at 2:30 am sunday mid night from my office,he called me at 3:30 am.Jammy told me that the trip would start at 5:00 am,somehow I reached 'PARADISE' at 5 am.I could see the smile at Jammy's face,as all of them were waiting for me,we had TeA.We pooled vitamen M for the trip,Jammy was the Munim(Treasurer),pumped our tanks with petrol & the journey began.We stopped couple of times for photo shoot,breakfast/tea & to maintain the hygiene of the rally.Most of the times the road was empty,I was following Adi at a good speed.Pramod took some great shots with his 8.1 Mp cam.We reached our goal at 9 am approx,went to Nagarjuna Dam,took few Snaps & had juices.Then we started for Ettipotla waterfall 16 km from the DaM,We trekked for half a km between thorns & bushes,to find the flowing river,took few dips in the RiVeR.Adi & Pramod were busy catching small fishes(approx. 10 cm ).From Etthipotla Waterfall we drove to AP Tourism Guest house,had fabulous Andra style buffet.We slept for approx. half an hour under a Huge Tree at the resort,Pramod was busy taking pics & Deepak was sleeping with BOOTS on.The journey back home started at around 5 pm.Adi leading the way again through the curvy road,Deepak & Jammy at the tail.Stopped thrice on the way for tea,water & the local taari.It was a Great learing experience for me,first time:I drove the highway at night,low beam was ON the entire trip to maintain the line.We reached Tarnaka crossing for tea before departing.On the whole a Memorable Trip with the Lords & Hyderabad Avengers.
