immediately rammed to my wife and said
about my plane to ride solo to Araku Vally.
She was so happy and said "when are we

SHAURYA to Araku Valley."

family had dinner and went to sleep early, because I wanted to hit
the road early in the morning next day.
I woke up 5:30 am in the morning, my wife was up before I woke
up, I had tea and breakfast with her, hugged her and went for my
first ever SOLO ride to Araku Vally.
I started Shaurya and began my journey, IT WAS 21ST AUGUST
2017, SATURDAY, all excited I was, I had filled my Shaurya full

messaged that rider friend on facebook
about his ride to Araku Valley.
Araku Vally is around 700 kms far from
Hyderabad and I knew only one way is to
go from Vizag and it is four lane highway.
I came home early to prepare for my ride
for next day.. I took shaurya to mechanic
for some tuning, and routine check up, I
received a message back from that
unknown friend from facebook, he
mentioned about a route which was new to
