Ride To Yellagiri

Hey Guys!!!! Immmm back. After reading this you guys should be knowing as to why this is one of my most memorable rides with my Unicorn. So here it goessss...... me with 2 of my office colleagues were just having tea on a bright wednesday evening and were discussing why not take our newly bought unicorns for a big ride down and check out what it is capable of. (Colleagues : Prabhakar & Prakash)... Prabha says... hmmmm where do you wanna go. I said ok let us ride down to vellore (hometown for Prabha) which would hardly take abt 2 1/2 hrs with a 15 to 20 mins break inbetween. You crazy.. my back would go for a toss ...says prakash who is just goin to be a pillion rider in any one of the unicorns. I said cmon guys dont backup on this, lets c whether we can make it up this weekend and maybe plan out to stay up in yellagiri by just extending our ride.. Both nodded there heads by giving a lot of thought into this.. and just moved up in continuing there regular work.

With a lot of hesitations and arguments we finally got our plan finalised and we get ready to set off on the saturday morning . So i had to clean up my bike and make sure whether i had all the stuffs necessary for the ride as soon as I returned from office on Friday. All set to gear up and zoommmm.. was the first thing i got in my mind after getting up at around 5 am on saturday morning. Gave a buzz to both the buggas to make it up at a common point which was vallasarawakkam petrol pump and start up the ride. All set and here we leave at 6am sharp from the petrol pump.

I was riding down at a good pace lets say approx.90 kmph after crossing poonamalle with prakash siting in the back. So the ride happ to be cool and calm as we had set out early. I found that my bike was responding to the ride in a great way which made us reach up the Hyundai factory (Tvs Track opp) in abt 30 mins where we had stopped for the morning tea.

Great tea and few buns had made me little brisk and set up for the big ride. All set and done by positioning our bags on the petrol tanks so that it doesnt cause any disturbance while riding down. So me and prakash were chatting a long way abt the normal office stories and blah blah blah.. So then decided after reaching kanchepuram , why not take some snaps on the highway. So decided to give few poses as if Iwas a freq rider on the highway. Prakash says... dei mappila overda?!@!! Seri seri...

So after a few stops down the highways and little bit of pain on the wrong places made us reach Vellore @ around 8.45 am. We went up to Prabhas house and refreshed ourselves along with few dosai's and a great cup of coffee served by his mom. Not much resting and we started to take up bikes now down to yellagiri. After a lot of advises from prabhas mom and dad we started up. Me and prakash thought of returning back to vellore by night as there isnt much to hang out in yellagiri as we were only 3 and there isnt much to enjoy out there rather than just ripping our bikes and returning back. A strong voice comes out from prabhakars side that.. Dei... We are staying up in yellagiri and returning in the morning no more deviation from the plan made out... Am I clear. Nothing much to argue upon this made me and prakash node our heads by symbolically saying Okie.....

There we go riding down to the greatest place which i have been hearing from my bros biker gang. This time I made prakash sit in prabhas Unicorn so that i could stretch certain parts of my body while riding without any disturbances... U should be knowing what I am trying to say.. We reached at a point where the hills actually starts and picked up few beers so that we could refresh ourselves on the hills.. While riding up the hills I found something fishy happ at this place. I see only couples riding up and down the hills and we 3 looked like monkeys with jackets and helmets on. Then ok thought maybe the place is always like this and was riding up. Prabha had some probs getting the bike up the hills as he is not used to riding bikes up the hills. So told him the way to ride up the bike with the faint knowledge I have abt bike mechanism, as I was also scared abt my baby riding up.

Finally we reached up our destination at around 4 pm and opened a bottle of beer each to celebrate the success of the ride. We started searching for rooms which was our priority and to our surprise we dint get any rooms at all. So we had told prabha cmon yaar lets make it down after spending an hour or so here. No way... we are staying up here by all ways and he went to a lodge with was a kind of a neat one but which seem to be a kinda of a suspicious place to stay up. Luckily we got a room with a rent of 300 Rs for the night. After having a small bath and refreshing ourselves we started walking down the roades finding out whats all special in this place and chatting and making fun. (@ around 9 pm).

We landed up at around 10.30pm in our room and had a few pegs of rum along with rotis and kurma which we had ordered . All tired and we were chatting for a long time and decided to hit the bed at around 1.30 am i.e sunday morning. Just when i was dozing off to get into my dreamland I hear bangs and loud noises at the door. We were shit scared as who r these knocking the door at this time. I was unable to get up and open the door as prabha caught my hand tight saying not to open the door as it may be gundas here. I said... WHATTTTTTTTT... you crazy., leave me yaar. After abt 5 mins of banging prakash rushes out of the other room which had an extra bed and opens the door... To our surprise we see people half naked along with the cops.. I just thought man what have we got into now. It was a raid done in the lodge were all the rooms were occupied by prostitutes except ours. As soon as they saw us the cops shoot up question at us.. who are you guys and why r you here.. hmm hmm hmm.. blank blank blank was the reaction from my great colleagues. I had to explain the cops coming one step forward that we work in chennai and had come down for a bike ride. Prabha had given up the vellore address in the lodge and when enquired he gave the chennais address which landed up in the cops taking away our mobiles.

The cops screams and says pack up your bags take ur bikes and come down to the station. I said great we r gonna have the ultimate fun now only after the cops just passed out of our room. It was 2 am pitch dark with dew gettin down our heads . We land up at the station were i get to stand abt 10 steps away from the laughing prostitutes. I thought maybe they are used to this..my god..thinking and waiting finally a cop calls me and says now tell whats up with you guys and why did u stay here. Had to explain the entire story slowly and carefully. After a few question and answer sessions the cop says at the end says .. ok sign the paper over here and take ur mobile and u buggas should leave this place in the next 15 mins. Whossssssssssshhhhhhhh was the reaction from us after we stepped out of the station which was not at all necessary if the cops had listened to us in the room itself. We rushed to our bikes and made it down the hill.

There was a lot of confusion goin on when we were riding down as to what to do next.blah blah blah blah all goin on between us. I said lets kewl down now and check out a nice place to sit down , maybe in a 24 hr tea shop on the highway and get back to vellore at around 6 am. Luckily we found a calm place to sit and had a beautiful cup of tea . I was actually laughing out loudly in the tea shop making fun at both of my colleagues and thier great reactions when we were enquired. And i said finally eventhough we try to forget we would never ever forget this trip as we planned out something and it turned out to be something else.

After a few chit chatting with a couple of teas we reach up vellore at around 7 am on sunday morning and hit the bed straight .zzzzzz..zzzz.. a peaceful sleep until 12 pm . Had lunch and packed our bags ,me along with prakash rode down to chennai while prabha wanted to stay back for few days in vellore.
