come ride with me :P

ohhhhhh where were we???????
ah yes i was telling u a story.........................
but for today i will take u on a trip through jodhpur, i will tell u about some of the best roads in jodhpur, and they are the best because they are twisty, smooth for most part, have a great view, are in decent shape have minimal traffic. due toa ll of the afore mentioned conditions these roads enable me to indulge me in my favourite passion. that is ride my bike to its and my limit and beyond. on these roads i can race my self test my courage on lean ins and on most of them, even if i make a mistake i can avoid the gruesome fate of being run over by traffic coming up from behind as they are very rarely travelled. so i can make mistakes with my peace of my mind.

1. this road snakes thru the out skirts of the town behind the majestic fort. it starts from mandore and takes me thru the stone quarries to a outlying village to the kayalana lake. this road is smooth for most of the part. with minimal traffic , especially during and after the brief moonsoons as during that period the the quarries are filled with water, dotting the land scape with inumerable lakes, and stoping all mining work too. this also gives the terrain innumerable small streams making it beautifull. there are old aquaducts dotting the terrain here and there, also some very beautifull sceneary. and except for the portion where the road smakes thru the village behind the city I can carry really good pace and speed on my bike.
2. the second best road is the NH 65 that snakes thru Jodhpur. i like it because although its congested and has heavy traffic most of the time it is really smooth and a four lane road in most places. the road also has real long straight streaches and hence u can travel at really insane speeds. and out side the city especially to the north the road has some really amazing landscape.

3 the third road would be the one that goes from kayalana lake to chopasnay housing scheme. this road because for most parts it hugs the lake and hence gives a great view. although this road is narrow and dusty for most part. as it is very very rarely used so u are always riding in the ever present danger of loosing grip and skiding into the rocks. but it is real twisty and hence great fun especially if u have friends along who enjoy the same thrills. i mention company here because of two factors
a. the road is very lonely and issolated so u should have help at hand incase some thing goes wrong
b. secondly due to the very nature of the road carrying high speeds is not recomended so u need some one to scramble with, at least i do.

4. the road that winds up to the fort is fourth on my list. its is smooth, twisty has a great view. but it also has a lot of blind corners that are made more dangerous by the fact that there is constant heavy vehicle trafic to the fort. but it has a great view and is really fun with a pillon sitting behind you. going fast thru here not only is dangerous, but if u go fast you will miss most of the view too.
