We scouted this new route on the back of our existing and very popular Nandi Countryside curation. A part of it is a hark back to the time when Nandi was but a little village with a pretty little train station in the early 1900's. Other parts are an exploration of the interior dirt tracks that run through vineyards and flower farms, and beside several lakes, most notably the one in Avati that sits beside a rocky shrub forest. We've even thrown in a short but sweet climb up a little hillock, with lovely views of the region from the top.

This action-packed cycling adventure combines these elements in a way that you can appreciate them all in just a few hours on a Sunday morning. Why should cycling be reduced to the drudgery of unchanging and mindnumbing roads, set on repeat?

As always this was another ride to remember, Kudos to Pedal in Tandem team for curating such a ride. When I was riding through vineyards, pomegranate farms, country trails amid mountains I felt like I was riding somewhere through the country trails of Europe :-), didn't feel lile I was riding somewhere in the outskirts of Bangalore....looking forward for more rides like this

Good Old Nandi is on my list of favourite rides. This ride is undoubtedly challenging, but is compensated for by the exhilaration of navigating a mostly off -road mud and gravel route and a countryside of show stopping beauty. Fields of marigolds, chrysanthemums, and roses,  pomegranates, mango orchards, and vineyards, millets and other crops, and serene lakes with cormorants, cranes,  and ducks among others, all surrounded by rolling hills and the  Nandi. The bonus  - the landscape changes with the seasons and offers a surprise each time. The terrain changes too! Plus, the PiT team lays on a fabulous picnic breakfast of local fare, replete with a choice of tea and filter coffee.   The Good Old Nandi is a ride worth experiencing for all this and more, not least because it could show one something about oneself!
