...one of my favorite routes...i had liked it when i did it for the first time and had planned for today.
Started well....did not push and had the HR under good control for Upper Z2.
Met a coule of tourists from Holland on the Chengalpet-Mahabs highway on their tourer bikes They were planning to do a tour of india by their cycles...talked for a few minutes...welcomed their tour in India and wished them a good tour.Their bikes were of the yamato make and were good looking.
The return from Mahabs was not what i had anticipated at all....heavy winds and it made me push hard with no momentum gain...had a real bad home stretch...also indicating under preparedness for long dist. endurance riding...need to focus more on the rides...especially since I am planning to do the $00 km in Feb.
The TCC folks who have completed a 100 must try this route for a variation....the ride to Chengalpet has the gradient to the biker's advantage. MIld traffic on the GST during early mornings...the stretch between C'pet to mahabs is good till Tirukazhukundram...a 5 km bad stretch and we are back on our familiar terrain,,the ECR...the traffic is light during the mornings...and the cool breeze striking you leaves a wonderful feeling...
overall a satisfying end to the week..
