Trip to Mahabalipuram
We were four people planned to go Mahabalipuram. This is my first ride of 100 kilometers. One of my colleagues don't have a bike, but I had two. So I lend one of my bike to him. I thought my another bike will be fine for this ride. The dreadful thing is my another bike had cut off the chain. Time was 10.00 o'clock. I took it to the nearby workshop. But the shop was closed. After I rolled it to 2 Kilometer far workshop and made it at 11.30 pm.
Morning awake at 3.30 am and took a bath. Started from my room at 3.45 am. The roads are bit wet because of previous day rain. Everyone assembled at the junction at 4.45 am. It is fifteen kilometers far for me.
From there to Mahabalipuram thirteen Kilometers. One person joined in our trip. We splitted two teams. One team with geared bikes another one ungeared bikes. I was in the ungeared bikes team. Geared team rode very fast. We don't ride that much level.
They reached Mahabalipuram nearly forty minutes before us. In the meanwhile, we took some rest three times. They started their return before we reach Mahabalipuram. We reached only 8.30am. Simple departured at 9.30am after take some explore on the beach.
When the return trip every 7 Kilometers we took some break. But another team reached starting point before 11.00am. Terribly again my bike chain lock was missed in the middle of the ride. It ate over extra one hour. Finally, we reached started junction at 2.00pm. For me, it took extra an hour to reach home.

Plan to Muttukadu
Friday night i planed to go Muttukkatu 3 kilometers before kovalam, nice place with boat house, and set alarm to wake-up 5.00am. I am very tired in the morning didn't allowed me to wake-up. So again 30 minutes sleep.
after that i started ride at 5.45am. I know ECR (East Coast Road) road is easy way to go Muttukkadu.
But i decided to go by Pallikaranai Marsh. I don't know the exact way, so used my mobile phone to navigate.
Unfortunately there is no peoples around there only me and my friend standing alone, Because it's end of summers, and all the schools are reopened so no more vacation.
Suddenly changed the plan to go Kovalam Beach, and extended 3 kilometers. Oh finally reached Kovalam beach. The map telling its 53 min for car, but for me it took 1 hour and 40 minutes in cycle.
Here i'm not telling my story how do i reached Kovalam, I'm just trying to write my Blog post.
Thank you.
