Lakuri Bhanjyang – Ranikot – Surya Binayak, July 27, 2013

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
Yes! Where Where go water there there go Fish
No! I miss .. My Miss.. Dhis Dhis


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.
