Rideable ART is my CyCle


There is always the uncertainty in the word 'solo'.
Life without uncertainty is boring.... 
       holed up in a strange road,
       the locals circling around you,
       a fLat rubber,
       broken chain, 

       oR running out of food or drink.  
Still, if there is freedom and individuality
 solo game is the name of fulfilment, 

 freedom finds full expression in solo spins.




130 km of solo ride.  
Up a favorite hill.
Maiden century ride on a new tomato-red bike
 
 
SURLY calls it 'Pacer'





Lakkidi is famous for rains. Lakkidi tops the world's register for the highest degree of rainfall.
Through a meandering spin from Calicut to Adivaram (foothills), Lakkidi beckons me to my hills.
  
Every time I climb these ghat-roads, I see this tree. It tells me to wait and look at her.
How can I wait?
Life is too short to WAIT



The pleasant story of this ride is the 44 km spin which takes to the bottom of Lakkidi.
  

I call it “meandering” because of the funny rolling it offer. I haven’t found such a take on any other National Highways around this part of Kerala.


Looking down on Calicut from these hair-pin bends can be a joy....
looking up I see a fine cloud formation

 

Reached Adivaram drained of spirit for the rest of the journey.

Now stands the fun..
 Acute
12.5 kilometers of non-stop climb,9-hairpin bends, 2300 ft. elevation +
baptism in the rain. 



am at AT LAKKADI...

hEllo! Come in, IT'S BREWING !!
mY favoirt waterhole is calling,
"hang the helmet... 
COFFEE
is stemming" 





"sit down"  
for my bum, wheels are good ...
so is Arabica!




My WORLD came true ..
2
hours deep in words,
deep in reading, 

at my
watering hole...

How can there be life without WORDS?
Life without words is a poor life.
"I'll Share anything except This COFFEE..." cup says. 
i WILL share everything for WORDS...
because "
WORDS r all i have to take YOR heart Away"
 




 

Who said, "RIDEABLE ART is my CyCLe..." ?




"
good BYE Solo RIDE"



Post Scripts:  


 (1) 'SURLY' isn't just a name of a bike,
it's a state of mind
.
(2) Just because we both ride bikes doesn't mean we're friends.
