Place: Lepakshi Temple and Avalabetta Hilltop Distance: 300 km round trip Type: Hilltop, Temple Ideal for: Friends and family Bikes : BikeAvenger, Gixxer, Pulsar Crew: Vinay, Chandu, Pradeep, Jayraj, Bhimu, and me New bike and a new DSLR, do I need any better reason to go on a ride? After patiently waiting for 110 days and 3500 km, the second service of my bike was done, it was ready to be pushed farther and harder. Lepakshi was the closest place that I had not explored so far (130 km to be precise). As usual, I invited friends for the ride, 6 of them turned up. Bhimu insisted on visiting the Avalabetta, none of the co-riders had visited it, even I had missed a photo on the edge so decided to take a detour at Paresandra and have a quick visit to Avalabetta. Best of the Beast: Wedding hall of Shiva and Parvathi at Lepakshi Sunday Morning: After hardly 4 hours of sleep I woke up at 4 am and got ready. Put on my riding gear and hit the road sharp at 4.30. We all assemble
