Kolkata to Puri Bike Trip, Things to see in Puri Odisha

Kolkata to Puri Bike Trip was a memorable trip for all of us. This was the second big trip of our initial bike riding days as Udukku13. Before that, we don’t know that we can ride 520KM at a time. We start the trip on  27/09/17 at 6 AM. Our plan was to start at 4:30 to 5 AM, but the weather was against us. Heavy rain started at 4 AM. We were waiting for the rain to stop. At 5:50 AM rain had mercy on us and it slowed a  little bit and we started the bike in that cloudy and little rainy weather. We completed the whole trip like this.  

At the time of starting, we do not confident to hit Puri on the same day. But we did it, just because of our coordination and support, which is necessary for a successful bike trip. After starting we refreshed and had breakfast at the junction of WB and Odisha about 9:30 to 10 AM. After we again start the journey for Puri. This bike riding was not so good, because we were tired a lot,  and felt sleepiness at the time of riding. We rode in this condition till Balasore and then we stopped the bike and took little rest, with some sweet syrup called tea, for half an hour. This half an hour refreshed our souls and again we were ready to feel the fun of speed riding. At 06:30 P.M. we were at the puri beach where the sunset was kissing the sands of the beach.

 During this Kolkata to Puri Bike Trip, I have learned one thing that doesn't eat heavy food because it will cause you laziness while riding a bike. This whole trip was full of memories because we have ride bikes in rainy weather and seeing a religious place puri is like dreams come true.
