Lakuri Bhanjyang – Ranikot – Surya Binayak
In the last face book update, many Mud Trailers’ had a
few comments to Lord Indra concerned about the rain and bribing him to make our Saturday biking rain
free (is he the Rain
God ??). Looks like it worked (bribe / comments or should it be called prayer?).
Anyway, we had a rain free Saturday and our gathering point
was Gwarko at 6:15 and destination was ********* as per the notice in the Mud
Trailers page in the face book.
The NOTICE
27th Saturday Ride | Destination : ******* | Meet point : Gwarko | Time: 6:15 AM | Departure : 6:30 AM |
All the rules are .. same as before as Riders ACT 2070
I could and I think that all of us could easily
guess that the destination. Eleven of us gathered at the meeting point. Lakuri
Bhanjyang is situated at an altitude of 1835m (that was the information
provided from Jen’s Altimeter watch). The trails is strenuous, as I have
mentioned in my earlier biking blog, when I had done it then. I could not do
the full trail continuously (without taking break), and as I had mentioned
earlier my heart was beating like a “train on a track”. Slowly and steadily everybody
reached the pass and we had our breakfast of Wai Wai, boiled egg (I could hear
somebody referring it as chicken semen?!!??!!) and tea. Our skipper had to wait for
nearly 40 minutes till the last Mud Trailer reached the pass after his ascent o the top.
While returning seven of us took took the north route, (four
other took the route via the resort to Lamatar) which is a single track trail
till Ranikot, and from there we came to Surya Binayak, the famous Ganesh
temple. The single track was slippery and the Mud Trailers had to use their wit
to negotiate the downhill. Luckily there was no falling off the trail. I was
the only one in the group to get kissed by a leech. We took rest near Sallaghari
as we could not pass by “Jagate ko
Chhoila Pasal” and had choil chiura …………..
I was home by two pm. This time I used the app Every Trail to
capture my trip. Somehow it missed the section from Lakuri to Sallaghari. Maybe
that was due to my wrongful action on “pause” and “resume” button of the app. It
must have been a ride of 4 hours covering approximately 40km ride.
I (we) missed Nilesh on today's biking as he is the official photogrpaher of the Mud Trailers. (heard that he took a fall on previous days biking) Wishing him for a speedy recovery of bruises (no broken bones). So please excuse me and the other contributor of photos of the day.

ReplyDeleteAmazing post and refreshing photos. Thanks for sharing dai. It might take couple of months for me to join the Saturday ride, but I'm glad to follow the updates! Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteFor the first time I had set up an alarm in NOTE 2; don't know why, it never alarmed. When I woke up, it was already 7 AM. My hard luck, missed the trial.
