Ride to Bhuvanagiri Fort

APOLLO HOSPITAL , Opp RATNADEEP SUPER MARKET , VIKRAMPURI , KARKHANA ROAD , BEYOND SECUNDERABADCLUB (map)

Friends, A ride to Bhuvanagiri Fort is planned this Saturday. The distance one way is 50.4km from our regular Starting point i.e., Apollo Hospitals, Vikrampuri, Karkhana Road, Secunderabad. This will be the first long ride for our Secunderabad side Riders in 2010 (we did the same ride in 2009 along with Gatchibowli team with several riders from Secunderabad-Chandra). The timing is ideal - not too cold or not too hot. The ride planned is a medium paced one. The event might consume whole day since many of the members who are willing to participate are interested to see the Fort and the hiking will take time.

Let us meet at Apollo Hospitals at 5.20am and start the ride sharp at 5.30am. We will take the route via Mettuguda, Taranaka, Uppal, Ghatkesar, Bibinagar etc. If some of the members are interested to join along the way please do so under intimation.

Please bring the following along with the bike in good running condition.

1. Helmet (Compulsion)
2. Drinking water/ORS
3. Spare tube/Puncture Kit
4. Snacks
5. Good spirits.

Just Ride,

It takes about 1.30 Hrs to 1.45 hrs to climb. We can just move around on top for 30 minutes. One small old Khandhar type mahal on top & one satellite Receiving transmitting centre. ( may be? ) 1.00 hr to come down.

Wonderful experience. Did my (and my 16 year old son's first century ride). Did 108 kms and enjoyed every bit of it. I did have a somewhat concerning time when just after doing 20 kms or so on the onward travel, my chain got struck but wouldn't come out. The wheel wouldn't move either. Thanks to moral and physical help by Krishna, I was able to pull off. Had a wonderful time. Thanks for organizing. Mallik
