28th December 2016
The journey started at around 1400h from my friends place with the meter reading of my Crysta as seen below as the ODO was reset to ZERO.The moment I had been waiting for a longish drive after few years finally arrived since I last went on a Delhi-Leh bike trip.The details of which I posted at
https://anupriti.blogspot.in/2013/09/leh-paroxysm-unplanned-trip-to-leh.html
The cruise started maneuvering the Bikaner City and it actually didn't take long to hit the Jodhpur highway inside 15 minutes
...few camel baggi's over taken
Hit the highway in 20 minutes and believe you me....the road is more awesome then it looks here.Rajasthan has an awesome set of road network...well maintained ....too good a start...
...minor hiccups of the ride included Railway crossings and barriers...and we continued..
...the train...
Hit it again....
..few villages aside...
the road though single lane....but was pretty ok for a 100 km/hr mark..without even minor pots...holes...
...yes hurdles and stops may suddenly pop up like any cattle can just appear...
....and here comes jodhpur....
..entering city...
The meter reading first day to Jodhpur from my residence :
274 km
The next day I start around 0800h....and my curiosity only went higher and higher as I just started my cruise for the day...the roads continued to get better...
Today I had to hit Vadodra and I got the first mention of Ahmedabad as below around 389 KM.....and another 90 km from there....I was just not interested to stop....
