A Day Trip to Lucknow from Delhi
on bike
If somebody
asks me that what does it feels like to visit Lucknow then I must share my
experience for riding to Lucknow.
First let’s
start with beginning of our journey, we start our journey from Delhi then we
have to take the route towards DND Flyway Noida after that we have to come across
Noida then,
We have to
catch up with Taj Express way (also known as Yamuna Expressway).
And as I
wanted to tell you guys that we think its very easy to ride on any highway but
it is not as the Taj Expressway is made up of concrete.
Also, cherry
on the top situation I travelled this path in season of summer so it was very
hot and humid there outside. As I was travelling Non-stop, I even didn’t take
many water breaks and that was my worst mistake ever done.
Road was
perfect as smooth as butter I’m attaching a pic that was taken by me on my
action camera during entry and while travelling on expressway.
As you guys
have already noticed that I was travelling alone and my ride was Bajaj Dominar
400.
Road was all
butter smooth as you can see in above pic.
But as many
of you know that if we travel on concrete road then our tyre rubber got heated
up as fast twice than a normal road.
So, I was
only giving stoppage at fuel pump for 5 min and refuelling then kept on moving.
Please note there are fuel stations and
refreshments at every 100km of distance.
The highway
was getting monotonous and I was dehydrated but I didn’t feel that time.
It took me 7
hours to reach as it was my first time and I was diving at speed of 80km/h to
cover the distance of 650 km from Delhi to Lucknow.
After I had
reached Lucknow, I was feeling very tired so, I parked the bike in basement and
went for a sleep.
That night
my Mom and Dad also reached the flat and I was thanking them for reaching.
But next
morning when I waked up I had tremendous back pain and stomach ache due to
dehydration of my body.
Every thing
I was eating my body could not even digest and I kept on vomiting, even I could
not express my pain as it was hurting me so much.
Then my father
had brought is car and I went to hospital and they said it was not a normal
problem of stomach ache , the pain was due to gastric and it was increasing as I
didn’t took sufficient breaks during ride it happened so the lesson I learnt we
should take sufficient refreshment breaks.
Then I had
some medicine and I was ok by next day so I decided to take my bike to office
then I noticed that it was not me only who was suffering, but also my bike had
suffered as well it carried me to Lucknow with any breakdown, now the problem was
major as my tyres got busted it got serious damage from every place now I m
showing you the pic of tyre.
Look at it
how dangerous it is.
So final
conclusion it that you must take sufficient fuel and refreshment breaks.
And try to
travel in winters or in simple sentence avoid summers for a long ride.
And of
course, if you are travelling on the both expressway you have to pay the toll
for car and even two wheelers.
Toll rates given following:
1. Taj Expressway (Yamuna Expressway):
205 INR.
2. Lucknow-Agra Expressway: 295 INR.
Thanks,
hope it helps
