Manali - Ropar- Delhi
Distance Covered: Does it matter
Today, did a normal check of bikes. I knew this was going to be a boring journey to the plains. Reached Mandi where the group parted as they had to go to Dharamshala. It was quite an emotional farewell and I am really surprised how we had bonded in the past 1 week from complete strangers to very good friends. The ride from Mandi to Bilaspur was quite monotonous but it was a pain for the next 50kms racing with the countless number of trucks which ply on this road. I reached Ropar at 8 PM where I halted for the night. Again, the next day took the road to Ambala and joined NH1 from where I reached Delhi by 6 PM.
I have learned quite a few things from this ride, testing my patience level and riding abilities, my determination, how important is my family (times when I was alone) and how much I would have enjoyed this had my wifey joined this trip :). The Leh enigma would never burn down it just goes to the next level.. Now who's in for the next ride :)
The Journey has just begun............
