Trivandrum – Varkala Coastal Road

Dawn Run to Varkala

Left Kazhakkuttom at 4:45 AM on my Classic 350. The coastal road was empty, the air salty and cold. Watched the sun climb over the cliffs at Varkala — the bike humming the whole way. Pace Automotives had sorted a stubborn clutch drag the week before; the ride was butter-smooth.

Munnar Hill Climb

Munnar Climb in the Mist

The hairpins up to Munnar test your brakes and your nerve. Rode through thick mist with visibility under 10 metres. Slow, steady, and a fresh set of brake pads from Pace made all the difference. The tea gardens at the top were worth every cold finger.
