Nov 2013: Huliyurdurga 200 BRM
The Ride
The first BRM of the brevet of the 2014 season takes riders through what was erstwhile big cat territory -- the word "huli" refers to tigers! The route heads out westwards towards Magadi, then heading south towards Maddur before returning via the scenic Manchanbele area. Except for the stretch between Maddur and Ramanagara on Mysore road, the route avoids busy roads, and the ride is along quiet and scenic roads.
Note that this is a rolling route with steep ascents and descents.
This is an ACP sanctioned brevet ride, and must be completely self-supported. The ride has to be finished within 13.5 hrs. This is not a competitive ride.
