Lake Tahoe...

Like last to last weekend, this weekend also we had a nice short bike trip. This time the destination was Lake Tahoe (around 220 mi). Our aptmate Piyush took his parents to Tahoe on Thursday night and they rented a nice furnished apartment. Friday night Uddhav (another aptmate) and Sarvesh joined them, while we rode down on Saturday morning. We started at 5.30 in the morning and reached Tahoe around 11am with a few stops. Had a fun time at the air-show being held at Tahoe airport. After that had a nice lunch at an Indian restaurant and then headed to beaches for water sports. We were seven of us and there was no boat available for seven in the first beach we went. The next one, Zephyr cove, had power boats and we rented one. Joy was initially scared to go for the ride but eventually enjoyed it. We had a great time riding the boat and we all tried riding it. It was already late by the time we returned to the shore and didn't have time for other sports like parasailing and water-skiing! Next time...

Back in the rented apartment, we enjoyed some nice tea and the lovely sunset. Had a fun time jumping and taking pics :) After a hearty Thai dinner, Uddhav and Sarvesh headed back for home while for the rest us it was time for 'Om Shanti Om'!!! It was already quite late by the time we hit the bed. Joy wanted to start quite early in the morning and I simply refused to get up early :) And it was 10.30 in the morning next day when we started back for home, while Piyush and his parents headed for Yosemite. They arrived at 10 that night.

All and all, it was a nice and relaxing trip for me. As for Joy, he enjoyed the Tahoe water and the boat ride, but didn't enjoy the ride as much as he had wanted. So ultimately he decided to sell off his bike and move on to the ultimate two-up tourer, the Honda Goldwing! Lets see whats there is the future...
