A foggy morning at Aurangabad; many people were enjoying a walk or run on the roadside. I felt like it was an ideal start for the day's ride.
Unable to locate any signboard, getting out of Aurangabad city towards Ajanta seemed to be tricky. I rode through some pockets roads with the help of auto-rickshaw drivers, a bakery shop owner, a school security guard and many more rushing for their morning jobs.
Soon the weather changed and it started to rain. It was mildly weeping rain that lasted all day long.
With the rain never taking a break, it was wet ride through villages, with kids waving, dogs chasing, people staring and even few cows staring at me.
I was climbing Ajanta ranges. It was raining and the views were beautiful. Soon the downhill started and bicycle was gaining speed; had to apply breaks all time, to not let the bicycle go out of control.
The bicycle gear shifting was giving some problem, with the chain reluctant to fall on certain gear. Since, I didn't know how to fix it, I hoped to find a modern bicycle repair shop before it got worse.
It was evening and still raining. Reached the entry checkpoint to Ajanta caves, but didn't go further as it was closed for the day. Took a room in an MTDC budget hotel. Had tasty chapattis and vegetable curry for dinner.
Tomorrow, I will ride to Ajanta caves.
