Throwback Aug 2020
A Boy, A Bike, A long Road ‘n Demanding dream
A little dose of inspiration today from a Two wheeled travel story
It is a tale of the times when the Dreams of open roads with a bike started haunting me. The musicality of crush of gravel under my bike tires could not let me sleep at nights.
Having the dream in loop the inner me said “I can do this.”
That day I picked up the keys, opened the door to the wide-open roads and licensed my bike to roam there. Here my travelling journey started. On march 2017, I did a bike trip to SOON VALLEY on a 70cc China bike. That was an amazing experience, motivated me to purchase a good bike to start my BIKE TRAVELLING JOURENY .
On January, 2018 I purchased YBR G and started planning tour Hunza on bike.
But ….
Believe It or not, as a brown boy it was difficult to get permission from family. Also no one in my group of friends were willing to join me in this journey. That time I cancelled my plan of bike trip and visited Hunza in a car. The reason was to percept how challenging it would be to have a visit there on bike. also, to gather some stuff to get permission from family.
Sitting in a car, visiting the mountains I just got impressed by the sceneries of the nature. But the freedom was missing. The freedom when travel along bike, you can hear and the sound of crush of gravel, the breeze whispering into your ears every moment ‘n a lot more.
My aim to Travel Hunza on bike became more stronger than ever after this journey.
I showed my parents, the videos of roads and told them gold platted stories just to make them sure that it is so easy to travel here on bike. Somehow, I convinced my parents to let me tour Hunza on bike this summer.
But..
