Ride the Ruins Part 4- Alamparai



After the fun at sardas we all started to make our way to another fort called Alamparai it was some ten KM from sardas was wat we were told but it was more than that but it was also one the best roads to alamparai , so we bade goodbye to our watchman and enquired about the way to alamparai and he told us that we have to go through kalpakkam township and reach ECR and go straight and hence we went outside and trouble was waiting my bike wouldn start and jus yesterday when i went to garage to get my clutch plates changed i was speaking to Venkat telling him about the way to start a jawa and praising my jawa saying that it always starts and blah blah.. then comes the ass vasanth and he says machan ur bike will not start and i laughed but end of the day my bike was jinxed but like a true jawa it will run so vasanth push started and we were off ooops i almost forgot a funny thing aquin was our water boy that kid loaded his bag fully with ice cold water bottles a real saviour thanks aquin, and he was carrying oil in a pepsi bottle and i took the bottle and was about to drink and thank goodness i was stopped by aquin. Anyway so we started and took off through some narrow streets and reached the gates of kalpakkam township , its a amazing world inside kalpakkam town there is clearly landsscaped clean smooth roads and its a well laid out town and the quality of life should be amazing there
thats a pic of Kannan sir and rajaram riding inside the township so we finally came out of the town and were back on ECR to a place called kadambampadi village and we were told that were alamparai fort is and the weather was not too hot and the road was amazing though there were these buses from hell comming in the opposite we were on a bike so even a tarmac on the edge was enough . The road was smooth and trees on both sides and occasional houses and resorts we were thundering and Kannan and vasanth started racing and solomon was gave cut with his yamaha to slip between a car and a bus the best part was were the road was like a chicane and four of in rows of two attacked the chicane at some amazing speed we were doing about 90-110kmph and it was pure bliss and we kept riding and my bike was slowly losing steam at top speed and finally we found the road to alamparai and we were close to pondy it was forty KM to pondy from there and we took the right and went to alamparai
The fort had grand entrance but inside it was nothing

anyway more on wat happended in next part
