Any Concerns ?
Around Marathalli, the roads were not at all good. Hope it is know to every one.
Any suggestions ?
If some one is starting from Maratahalli and want to go for around 30 kms. This would be a right choice. I prefer to start by 5.30 Am, soon the traffic gets heavy you will cross the Domlur. After that I havn't seen any problem.
Please explain in detail about the trip.
We(Myself and My best half) started at Munnekolla, Maratahlli at 6.00 AM in the morning. We reached Maratahalli bridge in 5 mins. By that time there was no traffic and cyclists were crossing us and headed towards HAL. We had plan to make round. The plan was Marathalli to Domlur bridge, via Koramangala to Madivala (silk board) from there to Maratahlli.
The distance will come around 30 km. One more thing was HAL road will be busy after 7 or 7.30 so I thought we need to cross Domlur bridge before 6.30, but it took us 35 mins to reach Domlur bridge and we took left and headed towards Koramangala. There were few people jogging and few cycling. We stopped at one place to have some water and started again and reached Madivala police station. It took us another 40 mins to reach there. From there we took the four way from Silkboard and started towards Maratahalli. All the way, we came on service road. It took us to reach Maratahalli 40 mins. I believe any bus or bike also will take close to 20 to 35 mins to reach by that time. Here is the google map pic that we traveled.
I would like to share one thing here.
I have noticed that except Marathalli surrounding roads the remaining road was very nice and convenient to group or couples cycling.
Koramangala road was very pleasant and we were so happy to ride the cycle early in the morning in such a place. The same from Silkboard to Maratahalli. All the way came by Service road, we never experienced any inconvenience till Eco space. After that that Again comes Maratahlli. I am not sure we no one is taking care of these roads around Maratahalli. Hopping that roads will get better soon.
We are not experts and not daily cyclists, but was easy to ride 30 km in 2 hours.What is your next plan.
Not decided yet. But wanted to visit Cubbon park area.
Can some one join with you ?
That would be nice. Cycling as group, will have lot of fun.
I don't have Cycle, will you be able to arrange?
Sure, Let me know a day before or mail me anil.konepalli@gmail.com.
Thanks... for the information.
You are welcome.
