Route suggestions in and around South Bangalore
- Kanakapura Road ((ex)Family Mart junction) → Kaggalipura → Bannerghatta Road → Jayadeva Hospital
This is a good route for a short (40k) ride. The stretch on Kanakpura road descents all the way to Kaggalipura village where you take a left (a mile or so after AOL) towards Bannerghatta road. Suitable for both road and MTB – however few stretches between Kaggalipura and bannerghatta might jar your (road) bike quite a bit. The approximate distances are -
Kanakapura road junction to Kaggalipura village ~ 13km
Kaggalipura to Bannerghatta road ~ 14km
Bannerghatta road to Jayadeva hospital ~ 12km
- Kanakapura road → NICE → Mysore Road → Big Banyan Tree → Savandurga: This is about 50kms and makes for a very nice 100k ride. The road is generally good and suitable for a road bike. Small stretches between Mysore road and Big Banyan tree are pretty nasty otherwise its all smooth tarmac (as of 2008 :))
- Sarjapur road → Varthur road. Sarjapur road is rather sucky but Varathur road is a beautiful stretch of tarmac to ride on. Lots of tree cover.
Route suggestions in and around Indiranagar, Bangalore
- Indiranagar → Leela Palace → Behind HAL Airport → Belandur Lake bed → Cross Outer Ring Road → Sarjapur Road → Railway crossing → Take left at Varthur Road → Varthur lake → Sigma Tech Park → Marathahalli Bridge → Back to road behind HAL airport → Leela Palace → Indiranagar. Around 50kms approx. Ride on the road behind HAL airport, belandur lake bed and varthur road is pretty cool. Take caution on Sarjapur road and Marathahalli road. Have fun filled and safe ride. Preferable route for an an early morning ride on weekends.
