This ride was the largest Delhi weekend ride till date. 2 having skipped out at the last moment, we ended up with 9 bikes and 10 riders.

Amazing arrangements by Ashwani /Avtaar to provide us the cheapest ride I've done till date (Aman, listen up! ) . All together , we spent about 215/- per head. (Excluding Fuel)

This included three absolutely delightful meals on both days and stay in a huge Forest Rest House.

Must add here, that Avtaar's a deserving 60kph member in the wings. His outdoor skills are amazing. Not to mention his ownership of the mother of all cruisers, which when back with him in India will cause quite a few heartburns all around :)

Amazing inhouse chicken, daal and rice cooked by Avtaar, Rakesh, Manas and Ashwani.

Special credit to Ashwani for having arranged for the Murga out of nowhere and Manas for having cooked the Daal with no spices.

The ride and all it's great moments will be captured by Bora/ Rakesh in their prized writeup :)

Other highlights included :

* Amazing weather which held on till we reached Mohan and only then did it start raining.

* Late night one-to-one talks with Bora. (Thanks 'n sorry for having curtailed y'r longer ride plans, for the sake of the group)

* Two birthdays for both the nights . Bora's on 19th and Manas' on 20th .

* Awesome Music provided by Bora.

* Amazing bath in the Kosi river by all the Men and Pady. It was one of the more thrilling baths I've had in a while. Freezing waters and amazing friends for company :)

* Manas the tee-totaller savoring the delights of the poison on his 30th birthday in his undies sitting in ice-cold gushing wasters of the Kosi.

* Pradeep's stupid antics in the river ;-)
