6 Guys, 3 Bikes and the Road to NALSAR
On Wednesday, at around 11:30 pm, 5 of my colleagues and I decided to go on bikes to a law college called NALSAR on bike. This place is about 30 km away from our place and we did not know the route. We only knew that it was off Karimnagar highway, so we asked our friends and set out.
We usually go on such rides to Hi-Tech city and ISB which are only about 10 km and 18 km away, respectively, from our place. This time we planned to go on a longer ride, to a new place.
We wore t-shirts with flimsy jackets (which actually saved us some suffering) because we did not think it would be as cold as it turned out to be. The temperature was around 4 Degree Celsius. It was that cold because most of the route falls under army area, which is full of trees, and rest of the route was quite densely forested.
We really felt the pinch and since it was pretty late, even tea shops weren't open. At one Dhaba, we thought we would get tea, but they told us that they were closed. So we just took a break for about 10 minutes and started again. When we reached NALSAR, we tried calling our friends but some of their phones were switched off and some others weren't on campus that night. So we just hung around at the gate and got back. Whenever we started after a break we felt the pinch of the cold. It was a tough ride but we had great fun, singing throughout and cracking jokes (mostly pj).
The road is great but the lighting is not sufficient. If it hadn't been very cold or if we had been better prepared, we would have enjoyed it even more. Nevertheless it was a great trip and in the end we realized that it was worth the effort.
Then, on our way back we stopped at an all-night bread-omelette shop in the city and had hot bread-omelettes and tea. Then we came back and had a good night's sleep.
These rides are interesting because you can have fun and at the same time get to know how to prepare for longer journeys.
I had a great time and hope to visit NALSAR more often especially because I have heard that the Shameerpet Lake, which is near the campus, is quite scenic.
Cheers
