Bangalore to chennai on hero octane cycle

I had planned to start at 4 in morning from home in Uttrahalli, so got up at 3.20 and was ready in fifteen minutes. ate a pre cooked chapati and packed 2 for later, picked up everything and I was off by 3.50. by the time I reached Hosur road I was chased by dogs at least 5 times. they are really king and night life in Bangalore. I started out quite good and was hitting 25kmph avg easily. Ii stopped only for a picture the end of electronic city, after which it was a straight shot to krishnagiri. thanks to lights that i bought from bums on saddle on the day before, it really illuminated the road and lorry drivers gave me good margin on road. i reached krishnagiri (100km on odo) at 8 am and felt really good at the speed I started off. finished the 2 more chapati and refilled my 1.5lt bottle and started off at 8.30. 

After 10 the sun started to have its toll on me, my speed reduced to under 20. I had aimed to cover for 170 km by 12 o'çlock but had made only about 150km. Exhausted I stopped for lunch break. I ate an apple and a bunch of grapes that I got from home. I started out again at 12.30 but had no energy. I covered about 15km in one hour and felt horrible in the sun and pitied at my speed. At 1.30 I was completely burned out and decided to take longer break and ended up sleeping in a paddy field under a tree shade. I slept for about 30 mins and started out at 2.30. Even tho I had rest the sun and wind was too strong. I set a goal to reach vellore(210/220km) by 4 and end the journey. This part of the ride was absolute horrible, I ate couple of energy bars(lots of stops) that I had picked up at decathlon, but they were completely useless(or my stomach didn't agree with them). Utterly exhausted I reached Vellore, called my friend to come near the Vellore fort and asked him to take me to eat. he took me to a really nice hotel next to the fort. I ate 2 plates idly and a Masala dosa with the idea of stopping..........

After about 1 hr 30 min break, and some air conditioning I started to feel good and decided that I should try till I feel completely miserable. With sun nearly down and energy back I set off at good speed. I hit 40 kms in 2 hrs and felt good. fatigue and soreness started to kick in at 8pm. My crotch felt like wood. i had realized that I was tired early in afternoon due to food shortage I decided to have food again by 9 so that I can continue into the night. ate 2 paratha and omelette and started off again by 9.30. With loads of energy I averaged 20 again and was covering good distance. I had to take lot of breaks because my ass hurt as soon as it touched saddle, so most of the time I was standing and peddling or stopped for cool off. I nearly reached Chennai(320km) by 12. next 20 km was happy time, I was in the glory mode. at 1.15 i reached Poonamalle completely exhausted and I had covered 340km. I was happy that I completed it. I was so tired that I slept in a bus stop for 1.5 hrs before my friend picked me up and took me to IIT.

the end.

PS: I was stopped by police at least 3 times, and with my broken tamil i explained them my purpose and they were all super happy and surprised. On one occasion i even had police escort for about 1hr
