Biking

Irrespective of how amazing your bike is, how extremely skilled and experienced driver you are, you just cant dodge some bumps on the road… same is with the life !!

Velneshwar and Harihareshwar

In Jan 2010, I and Prashant did a quick 3 day bike kokan trip. Pune – Mahabaleshwar – Khed – Chiplun – Welneshwar – Harne – Harihareshwar – Tamhini – Pune. Trip was fabulous, 3 days of peace, bike, roads, beaches and sea… what else you want in life :)

This is an attempt at photo blogging the experience :) Here we go !
