Nandi Hills Ride - 3rd

Sorry am a little lagging in the trip-logs for the rides..... but will be posting them one-by-one.
Nandi Hills - 3rd Time.....

Another trip to Nandi Hills ;) Well… this time it was due to a new BN guy – Vinay Kumar Shukla. He had a AVI 200 and wanted to go to Nandi Hills. Me & Ritesh (my old room-mate) were the other 2 guys.
We as usual had to stay awake the entire night so as to reach there on time for the sunrise etc. So, 12th December we were awake, gup-shupp and beers :) We left from my place at 3:30 am on 13th. Went via Hebbal – as that is the only way I knew as of then for the Hyderabad road.
Hit the highway at 4:45 am !!! I felt that we’d get late as sunrise was sure by 6 – 6:15 am. But then bless the new airport (only reason I like it), the road till it is made so amazing that we crossed the airport by 5:15 am. From there the Nandi Hills are around 1 hour ride till the hill-top.
So, we made good speed (doing an average of almost 70 – 80 kmph except while going uphill). Reached the top at 6:20 am exactly. Lucky for us that the sunrise was a little late. So, we were able to capture some awesome shots of the cloudy sky & then the sunrise as well :)
Then proceeded on for breakfast at the regular joint – omelet, maggi etc. Started back for Bangalore at 9:30 am. Ride back was boring due to heavy traffic & regular traffic-signals (while going to Nandi Hills you don’t encounter any of these ;) ). Anyways, reached back home at 11:30 am and then took a bath, had lunch & went off to sleep.
