Nashik-Saputara-Daman : Year End ride 2012

The best way to end the year was with a ride obviously..!!

Quickly decided a nice route on map .. Mumbai-Nashik-Saputara(Gujarat) via NH3 and return Daman-Mumbai via NH8. 
Riding buddies : Me (Rachit), Selvin & Adhir - which means 2 CBRs & a P220
Route seemed to be an ideal plan with nice roads & lovely ghats of Saputara & taking a halt in daman with the company of some cheap Beers ;)

Some awesome tarmac & curves

And some fun

At a Gujarati dhabha

Obviously at Daman ;)

Check the album for some more nice pix in there..

Nashik-Saputara(NH3)-Daman(NH8)

Spin to Velneshwar

A good friend of ours, Dhiraj had taken over his hotel at Velneshwar beach. We discovered this as just another reason to ride on the awesome NH17, in a perfect climate, stay at a perfect destination (i.e. by the beach) and meet our friend after a long time.
So the plan was fixed..
This time we where : Me (Rachit), Selvin & Ajay. which meant 3 CBRs

Sharing some random pix from the ride & the entire albums link in the bottom.

Starting from Airoli

A pit stop

Beating the scorching heat

the luscious Kashedi ghat

Stopping by a lake, which is said to be having some crocodiles. Though we couldnt spot any, other than each other ;)

Reaching Dhirajs Hotel 

What a lovely place it was, where Dhiraj had his hotel.

We where greeted with this :)

the backside of resort, and entry to the awesome beach

It was so heavenly peaceful & relaxing. Just we & the clean beautiful sea & ofcourse, the beers ;)

The night was so wonderful, sitting inches away from the beach, with dim lights, sipping in beer listening to waves.

The morning view from the room window

Bidding our friend Dhiraj bye, we started off for home

Contact for the Resort, in case if anyone wants to reach there & spend a day by the beach in peace.
