Finally, after 3 months after the ride, here comes the trip log – To Goa on a bike. Well, as the saying goes, it is better late than never :p

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

A few days before the ride, I read this line somewhere on the internet and struggled hard to remember one such thing, which I did recently. But now, after BN second annual meet, I have plenty to say.
