The Event: Urban Riderz Ride to Horsley Hills
Horsley Hills, located about 150 kilometers from Bengaluru, is a hidden gem in Andhra Pradesh. Known as the “Ooty of Andhra,” it offers a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The ride was planned as a one-day trip, perfect for a weekend getaway. With a group of passionate riders, the excitement was palpable as we geared up for the journey.
Preparation and Planning:
A successful ride begins with meticulous planning. The organizers at Urban Riderz ensured everything was in place:
The Ride Begins:
We gathered at the Urban Riderz meetup point in Bengaluru at 5:30 AM. The cool morning air and the hum of motorcycles revving up set the tone for the day. After a quick round of introductions and a group photo, we hit the road by 6:00 AM.
The route took us through NH44, a smooth highway that gradually gave way to picturesque countryside roads. Riding in a staggered formation, we maintained a steady pace, enjoying the cool breeze and the golden hues of the rising sun.
Pit Stops and Camaraderie:
Our first pit stop was at a local dhaba near Chikkaballapur, where we refueled with steaming cups of tea and delicious South Indian breakfast. The break was a great opportunity to bond, share stories, and laugh over riding anecdotes.
The second leg of the ride took us through winding roads surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. The sight of the Eastern Ghats in the distance was exhilarating, and we couldn’t wait to explore Horsley Hills.
Exploring Horsley Hills:
By 10:30 AM, we reached the base of Horsley Hills. The climb to the top was a thrilling experience, with hairpin bends and stunning views at every turn. After parking our bikes, we began exploring the hill station’s many attractions:
We also visited the Horsley Hills Zoo, home to a variety of wildlife species, and the Chennakesava Temple, a small but spiritually significant shrine.
The Brotherhood:
What made this ride truly special was the bond we shared. From helping each other navigate tricky roads to sharing snacks and laughter during breaks, the camaraderie was heartwarming. The ride wasn’t just about reaching the destination; it was about the journey and the people we shared it with.
The Return Journey:
By 3:00 PM, we began our ride back to Bengaluru. The return journey was relaxed, with everyone reflecting on the day’s adventures. We made a final pit stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where we relished authentic Andhra cuisine.
By 7:00 PM, we were back in Bengaluru, tired but exhilarated. The ride had been a perfect blend of adventure, exploration, and friendship.
