Planning for a Nainital ride

Dear readers, after a long time, after many difficulties, finally a group ride is planned, and I am very excited about this trip. I am always ready for bike touring, and even my life’s target is ride & write. Writing is the thing which I am doing daily but the ride cannot be planned daily and also it is not possible for me to do the ride on a daily basis. Riding is something which is in my heart and I can not live without it. This is my first group ride which i am going to do with college friends and seniors. We are total 5 person and total three bikes, as a biker i do not have bike and this is a big bad luck of my, i have a scooty of heromotocorp i.e Hero Duet 2017 model, and i have been traveled thousands kilometer in 2 days in scooty. This might be the record as well of the hero company, i do not have any other option as well… right ?

My basanti ( Hero Duet Scooty) is ready now, i went to karol bagh and changed the battery, mounted a pair of fog light and also installed a mobile holder along with the mobile charger, whenever we go for touring the mobile holder & mobile charger is very important for the trip. Because when we use our mobile phone for navigation then the battery drains very fast, therefore we need to keep it charging using the USB cable.

After that I also did the servicing of the scooty and this time i have changed the regular oil of castrol active and replaced it with MOTUL 10W30, because i am going far from NCR, definitely i will have group there but we should always prepared and ready to fight the situation.

We have a plan to leave NCR on 10’th september Saturday at morning, actually i need to travel from Gurgaon to Noida, and rest people are from Noida, we have meetup point at sector-62, Noida. And after that we need to go Naukuchiyatal to Nainital. This is a little long and way via the mountain because there are two ways of reaching Naukuchiyatal, one is via Haldwani and second is via Nainital… the second way we have selected.

I am a little afraid because traveling via a 99CC vehicle in high altitude is a little risky, because we often face the huge power loss in high altitude, but have no option because we have no time to buy the bike as well, therefore we need to execute the plan now, also i have a gut feeling of group… hahaha…. Such guts are highly required… right… !

Anyway, I need to ride slowly at 60 - 70 KMPH, and will try to capture each and every little moments & scenes of the way till the destination.

Someone very well said “सफर हीं खूबसूरत है, मंजिल तो बस एक भ्रम है , सफर का नाम हीं जिंदगी है, मंजिल तो बस मौत है”, therefore we need to enjoy the journey, because this is only the name of life, we all are here only to complete a journey, and it is always in our hand that how we makes our journey beautiful and most beautiful.

Remember guys, our life is in our hands only… making it difficult & complicated or easy & comfortable is always our decision, do not blame anyone for anything in your life… leave it now… i think the discussion went in some other direction… and it starts only after the word “Journey”. 

Everyone is wise and clever in this era, and no one needs the suggestions from others… but this is actually wrong, and we should keep our mind open to listen to others to learn… and always be thankful… 

Wait for the next blog of the journey, thanks for reading this blog till this point…
