Road Tales

There was a time when a 80 kilometer ride down to Tamhini Ghat was considered a "long" ride. Today we think nothing of riding non-stop from Udhampur to Delhi!! That perhaps is one indicator of just how far we have come as riders. But the growth has not just been as a rider: there has also been a tremendous growth in self-confidence and persona.

The Road Tales section of my blog is an attempt to document some of those exciting bitter-sweet, and sometimes dangerous experiences on the road that contributed to this growth. Hope you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoy writing them down!

WARNING: Some of the stories in the Road Tales section are of an adult nature with potentially offensive adult language. A mature head and sense of humor is highly recommended! :)
