MTBX - 2 - Thiruporur - 30 kms south of Chennai

So after discovering a gem of a place in Thiruporur with such amazing trails, I was waiting for the 6 days to get over fast! As soon as the weekend came, we were off to explore the 2nd loop. It was again 3 of us; and a smaller group meant a faster group and more exploration!

After a few kilometers down the trail, I realized that I forgot the camera memory card in the laptop itself. So I had a camera without memory card :( All these photos were taken in my Lumia! So please excuse the high contrast images!

Soon we found 3 super huge lakes all of which we had to circumvented. Also my obsession to take photos everywhere kinda irritated them but they had little to complain as the views around were amazing!

after the lakes, it was time for the dry lands. The sun was really getting hot and the trails seemed to heat up! But this didnt affect our enthusiasm to explore!

A few kilometers down, we hit some really technical stuff. Some of them we rode through,

and some of them we had to walk through.

The trails were getting drier and drier and we were running low on water and food. after around 30 kilometers of solid offroading, we decided to call it a day:

The excitement was growing among us. With each trail it was getting better and better! So I was eagerly looking forward for the MTBX3 now!
