Long slow ride.. Lots of water

Out to Hosakote and back at a very relaxed pace.

Flooded fields everywhere.

Things that show up on Google Maps as lakes were actually lakes. I guess there are some folks suffering due to flooded apartments. As you travel around that area (Kodugadi) you notice that most of the land is low-lying flood-prone, and then there are some apartment complexes rising out of the swamps.

We took a swim in an irrigation tank. Taught a local how to dive. Water felt great.

We took some photos of a flooded cemetery and some locals washing their goats in the floodwaters.

Pics later.

One of the best rides yet.

Friday I rode really fast, but today we just cruised around, avoiding all roads where possible. Good group of people and a relaxed ride.



And I even got a swim in.
