About this collection
The hairpin bends at Devarayanadurga demand total concentration. On these rides, I do not just show you the path; we practice strict formation riding and lane discipline before we even hit the highway. It is about being sharp on the bike, not just fast. If you are serious about becoming a better, safer rider, this is the environment I look for in my convoy.
Devarayanadurga is more than a weekend getaway; it is a lesson in control. The route requires a bike with decent power, so I only encourage riders with 200cc+ machines to join to ensure we keep the convoy speed consistent.
My riding philosophy is simple: discipline is everything. We start early from Bengaluru to beat the traffic and ensure we reach the hills when the air is still clear. The ride involves navigating tight curves that test your gear shifts and posture.
What to expect on the ride:
- Formation Riding: We do not ride like a chaotic bunch. We maintain gaps, use specific hand signals for hazards, and have designated sweepers to ensure no one is left behind.
- Safety Protocol: Full riding gear—helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots—is non-negotiable. If you show up without it, you do not ride with us. It is as simple as that.
- The Experience: We focus on the journey up the hill, the architecture of the temples at the top, and the quiet satisfaction of a well-executed ride.
We also make sure to leave the place cleaner than we found it. This is not just a Sunday trip; it is a chance to sharpen your skills and ride with a group that respects the road and each other.
