Nice and comfortable route through slight climb at 6 to 8 kms and then flat all the way. Break at Ayngaran coffee shop at Thirukkaanoorpatti for morning refreshments. Witness Sukhoi jets and men in uniform as we pass through the Air Force Base.

This is a short route through some old and unused roads (which took to Kumbakonam) but perfect for cycling still. The strech where we see the arched bridge is great for a photo stop. It is a small distance from that bridge before we rejoin road to Thittai village. There is a popular temple in Thittai

Mariamman Kovil is a popular Hindu temple for the goddess 'Mariamman'. It gets quite busy on weekends and holidays. But it will be a great experience to watch people from the villages who visit most often. The Rani Samudram Lake adjacent to the temple is a hotspot for birdwatching. Historically, it is

Another relaxing route through open fields and rail crossings. Dawn riders can enjoy abundant birds along the ride. Break for refreshments at Alakkudi village where one can catch weekly Sunday market. Return back with lot of headwinds in Summers.

Interior routes through beautiful canopy on the way and great for birdwatching. Birds spotted: Ashy Woodswallow, Tailorbird, Peacocks, Bulbuls, Oriental Magpie Robin etc. Diverted from the original planned route as it was a single trail. Will explore original route one day soon.
