To say we were all tired, scratch that – famished, would be an understatement.
BHPian CrAzY dRiVeR recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Chennai – Pondicherry
With all the exercises done for the day and parked for the departure to Pondicherry. Mirrors were removed before the trainings by the Triumph technician and promptly fitted back before the road ride, as you would see in the later pics:

Smooth progress on the East Coast Road till Mahabalipuram:
Lunch stop- Delhi Dhaba at Mahabalipuram:
To say we were all tired, scratch that – famished, would be an understatement. The physical effort needed, the scorching Chennai heat and the fear of dropping the vehicles had all taken everyone to their limits of exhaustion. So lunch was much awaited and very enjoyable. I enjoyed the Mutton biryani and paneer goli soda served here, the latter was a revelation and I asked for a repeat as well:
Spy shots served on a platter, with a 3xO EV parked right outside the restaurant. More pictures were shared here – https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/elect…ml#post5862193
Condition of the bike post lunch when the mud had all dried up:
One for the thread, shot by a Team-Bhp reader participant who identified the bike and asked me about it at this time. Immediately I shamelessly asked him a favour to click me
Back on the road towards Pondicherry:
I used the evening ride to observe how Ouseph Chacko was riding and learn from his approaches:
Was a very memorable evening ride behind him, almost till Pondicherry where he stopped for fuel:
Had forgotten how beautiful ECR was – its been a decade since i migrated out of Chennai. East Coast Road still remains a beautiful road to ride on:
And the sunset added even more beauty to the ride, quite a memorable day overall:
Turning off the main road into a long off-tarmac road to the night’s stay:
Hey a small jump! Wee…
And right into cattle. No wee…
Arriving at Inn Pondiville near Auroville campus, rather late in the evening:
Beautiful offbeat resort / large homestay that felt quite welcoming:
Quiant pathways that lead to seperate rooms:
Large swimming pool / discussion area, which is also covered:
Settling down for the evening with some good food and company:
