Above was the place where range anxiety kicked hard and I started on my way back to get 95 RON petrol before the tank runs dry in nowhere. Trip meter showed total distance as 293 kms after reaching home.

300 kms ride
I was desperate to do a longer ride on multi which was getting eluded in recent past due to one or other commitments.
So, this Sunday, I thought, come whatever may, I will finish a longer route. And sure, I was met with rains, traffic blockage during onwards and return leg, fog at multiple places and afternoon heat, all in one ride.
I started a while after 6:30 to explore a new route and was back at quarter to 2 pm. There was a trailer broken down in Khambatki ghat which screwed traffic during onwards as well return leg. Police diverted traffic to use the tunnel for movement towards Bangalore. The ongoing bridge construction didn’t helped and cooked bikers nicely on a sunny afternoon during return.
One thing which stood out was quality of country roads. I found good ones at each turn and then some more.
Below are some road pics –
Roads like these make exploring new routes worth it.
Just look at the road width. A big daddy GS will create traffic here!
