Every rider awaits for this season when Sun offers some mercy
and wearing the heavy riding gears is not annoying. Royal Enfield Club Noida planned an adventurous ride on 11th and 12th, Nov 2017
to a camp site in Panjhal, Nahan –
Himachal Valley. The flag off was planned at 5:30 AM from Noida metro sector
16. The excitement of the riders could be judged with the fact that all 18 riders reached the flag off site way early than the meeting time. Royal Enfield’s
were prepared to beat the Delhi Fog. Fog lights were on, Hazard lights were
blinking and engines were rumbling on that chilly winter morning. The first lap of 110 KM till Panipat toll plaza
was bone chilling. Everyone needed a hot cup of tea – Not as a beverage, but to
warm their handsJ. We
were ready to hit the road again after a scrumptious breakfast. The ride till
Nahan was easy – smooth road, nice weather conditions, no break down, in time and
no traffic. Excitement was increased when we took a narrow trail to the Camp site
from the Nahan – Renuka ji road. Riding thru the jungle on that narrow trail
was thrilling. Riders are always crazy for Off
Roads but no one knew that this ride will offer one. We struggled a little
to find the camp site in the jungle as there were no sign boards.
We reached the beautiful camp site at 3:30 PM after an
enjoyable ride thru highways, hills and hidden juggle trails. The camp was
located in the mid of a valley and looked like a pleasant place to relax after
a 10 hour ride. Riders got loosened up and moved to their relaxing tents. All
spent a relaxed time listing music, talking to fellow riders, knowing each
other after lunch. The Bonfire was lit as the Sun disappeared. What could be
better than a burning log in a chilly winter evening with friends at a jungle campsite.
This is what most of the people crave for - A time away from city hustle with friends
those follow the same passion – Royal Enfield
Ride. A bonfire party is incomplete without the dance moves. Every rider
tried their weird dance moves along the fire. After all it was a guy’s party, no
one wanted to behave as a suited Gentleman. We enjoyed the dinner with funny riding tales
under the glittering stars.
The ride was not over. We woke up next morning and got ready
to ride to Renuka ji temple and lake. Road to Renuka ji was even exhilarating.
Rode gently on the cures of Himalayas to reach the temple. It is a God Prashuram
temple along a big natural lake. We spent a little time there and quickly moved
back for our return journey. Everyone decided to ride the bike as far as we can
before lunch. It was a long ride till Shahbad when we stopped for lunch after
leaving Nahan. Food breaks are relaxing after long rides. Riding back on NH1
was again an off road experience that day. Traffic was at its peak and we had
to ride off the road limits. It was a slow ride to back home. Royal Enfield
Club Noida is back now with a bucket full of memories and adventures
experiences.
