Nandi Hills

Image
Date: 11 January 2015 Total distance: 146 Kilometers Start Time: 4:15 am Return Time: 2:00 pm With: - Altitude Profile: It had been 6 months since I purchased the cycle and in all the journeys, I had never been able to climb a ghat/hill section. This was worrying me and wanted to test myself after 6 months of riding. I had attempted the Nandi Hill climb as soon as I had purchased the cycle 6 months back but could not complete it, the same at Mekedatu as well where I could not pedal up the small ghat. So, decided to try Nandi hills again. I was charged up for the ride and woke up by 3:30 am and got ready. I left my place at 4:30 am. The weather was cold, roads were empty and the ride through the city was very nice. This time, I chose to ride on the flyover since the intention was to be able to ride all the uphill gradients. Since the weather was good, did not make any stops in between. The first stop was taken when I was 5 kilometers away from the foothill at 7:1
