This post covers Day 1 of the 4-day ride. Day 2<\/a>, Day 3<\/a> and Day 4<\/a> are posted separately.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some rides are planned months in advance, some weeks, and some happen just like that, out of nowhere. This ride through wilderness was one of those out-of-the-blue rides for me, and it was an exciting one indeed.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the 4-day ride was planned meticulously by my fellow riders. I just had to follow their lead, twist my throttle, and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n

The ride turned out to be much better than I expected. Hills, valleys, forests, rivers, dams, flat landscapes, remote villages, bustling towns and some boring highways; we covered them all, plus more.<\/p>\n
