Anil,

You dont have to go to Anekal.

From Harohalli, a 26 km tarmac road will take your to jigani.

Uruganadoddi is on the way, and climb after this village is pretty pretty good (2.5 kms)

All the best for you guys, post up some pics if you sight elephants.

I have seen lots of boards warning people about elephant herds.

Hi Harsha,

I had done the Harohalli - Thalli - Anekal - Jigani ride earlier. Are we talking about the same route? Or, is there an alternate shorter route to Jigani from Harohalli? BTW, Nov-Dec is the peak elephant sighting season in this region. Should be great fun!

cheers!

Any idea starting at 6:30, when will we be back ?
I have some commitments post ride :)

Amrish.

[Chidambaran Subramanian]

Depending upon your speed anywhere between 3.5 to 6 hours

Its mostly downhill all the way to Harohalli. From there you go some flatland initially towards Jigani and there are some steep climbs , 3 of them sightly big or with a good inclination. From Jigani towards the city on Bannerghatta road it is more or less even.

Hi Rekha,

There are separate rides on saturday and sunday on the same route!! Many of us can't make it on Saturday coz we are working on this day..

Join up based on your comfort level on any of these days!!!!

Happy Cycling!!!!!

Dipankar

[Manohar D C]

Yes, there were lot of riders and it was great fun!

Riders who took part are:

Anil
Sampath
Sagar
Prashanth
Murthy
Alex
Milind
Malik
Shiv
Manohar

If I have forgotten to mention any, please forgive!

Sad that two riders Srikar and (?) one more person had go return due
to some reason.

Murthy's road bikers gang ripped across the scenic trail. Beginners
Sampath, Sagar and Milind did very well. In fact Sampath was awesome
with his new hybrid bike. Initially he was very apprehensive if would
be able to climb the uphill part of the trail. But in the end he was
the one who was in the lead.

The trail HaroHalli to Jigani cut across beautiful country side and
was very scenic. We stopped few times for photographs amidst paddy
fields and forest. I guess Murthy's team did spot some wild elephant
herd as well!

All in all great fun! Thanks to all!

Im yet to upload the photos. Would update with the link once done.

cheers!

Wow! Bear necessity!  You guys sure had a wild time.

[Anil Bapat]

It was a fantastic ride today. The Harohalli - Jigani stretch is lovely. It's very scenic and offers plenty of scope for hill training as well.  There's a relentless stretch of uphill for a few kilometers in between, and someone's set up a shop selling cold butter milk at the end of that stretch, just perfect! We had some interesting company on the ride, like Milind who likes to play football because that sport offered him an opportunity to grab other men!! We all kept safe distance from him after this confession ;) Jokes apart, this guy actually played football for the U-17 national team. Then there was Manohar and Malik who both have a treasure of information about rides in the western ghats, and when Manohar is not riding/trekking, he's catching snakes! Manjula started before we did and was a few kilometres ahead of us and she messaged saying there was a herd of elephants where she was. We tried hard getting there as quickly as we could, but we missed the elephants. But the thought that these handsome beasts were a short distance away from us was an exciting feeling. Sampath's just started biking recently, but was a kick ass rider today! Great job dude!! At the end of the ride, Sagar mentioned that his heart was beating a bit faster than normal. We looked around but didn't find any object that could have possible triggered such a symptom. So, it must have been fatigue. He rested a while, guzzling tender coconut and he was feeling fine after a bit. He carried on biking to his home in Vijayanagar. Hope he's doing alright now. Thanks for the fun company guys. Look forward to riding with y'all soon.

 
Cheers!

-Anil

Hello Folks, this was my first 100k ride in many weeks. Had a real nasty time going uphill on my way to Jigani. After my experience riding up-hill from Harohalli to Jigani, I have decided to buy a MTB for my TFN (Come on Yogesh, make up your freaking mind!).

Rekha and group, I hope you reached Kagalipura without issues. The Bannerghatta-Kaggalipura road turned out to be unpaved, I hope you folks made it home without any issues. I was cruising on my way back. I even managed to convince./beg my way into being allowed on NICE road, so I could reach home fast.

Thanks for raising me off my slumber guys. God knows, I needed it,
Yogesh.

[Yogesh N. Rao]

Shahid. I am glad to hear you folks made it without much issues. I was very concerned about you as I was biking down to Kaggalipura. I had to be home by 1pm, so kept pushing ahead since I knew you folks were together.

Yes, it was a good ride. Manish can post the pictures.

breath ).. didnt see anything
