After purchasing entry level mountain bike (TREK 3700), I was in search of off road trails and recently I discovered this 1Km. rough, tough, winding trail uphill near home (Ponda - Goa). This trail calls for good mountain biking skills of balancing, braking and maintaining the cadence while going up.
During
my initial rides up the trail I would get off my bike at 4 different
spots along the trail, with practice I now manage to bike up the trail,
getting off only at one tough spot. The down hill is really thrilling.
At
the top the trail opens up to a plateau having typical Konkan
topography, the volcanic rock covers the ground and is home to, Grey
Hare, Indian Pea Fowl, Jackal, Porcupine, Grey Jungle Fowl and
Scorpions.
Early
morning rides are rewarded with sightings of Black Headed Oriole, Asian
Fairy Blue Bird, Malabar Pied Hornbill, Malabar Grey Hornbill and many
other winged wonders!!
