Goa Bike Trip : Bikomaniacs 2014 - Part 2
At Yelagiri Foothills Fast, on a rough road riding High, through the mountains climbing twisting, turning further from my home. Young, like a new moon rising Fierce, through the rain and lightning Wandering out into this great unknown. And I don't want no one to cry. But, tell 'em if I don't survive I was born free! I was born free I was born free, born free From Kid Rock "Born Free" album. Few important things I forgot to tell you in part -1. We had difficult time in finalizing the itinerary. There are three different routes to Goa from Tamilnadu. Route 1: Bangalore- Mangalore – Udupi- Karwar- Goa: West Coast Road 720 kms (Bangalore to Mangalore~ 350km +Mangalore to Goa ~370 Kms) Many roadies dream about this scenic west coast Konkan drive. I too had. Tested that route last November by car. Disappointed – if I had to summarize it, in a single word. There was a bad patch of about 40 kms while crossing the western ghat near Manga
