 A day ride from Bengaluru to Gandikota. | The Crew: Prashanth(Duke 390), Kaushik(390 adventure), Sarath(Z650) Location: https://goo.gl/maps/umJPHcvxgwmPtTx6A About the place: Wikipedia to make life easy(for me 😄 ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandikota Background: It was new year and had been a while since I went on a motorcycle ride, I had switched my role in office and was working for a new team and still had time to plan such small outings.

Fast forward two weeks and he was back in shape so eventually republic ride almost became Valentines day ride(FYI: It was on 12th and not 14th). On 11th evening I meet Sarath for the first time and we got his chain lubed so that the beast is all set for morning.

Despite our love to travel we had to stay at home due to the third wave of COVID-19 that had become horrendous. My wife’s exams got postponed by a week and we got a weekend that did not have any work related stuff on out to-do lists. We had been planning to go out for a while and started googling places near by and believe me we got about 30+ places to visit. After a while we finalized that will visit Gudibande and Vatadahosahalli lake which is close by the fort. We called my brother in law and checked and they were in too so we finalized that we will hit the road on Sunday Feb 6th 2022.
