Itinerary description
The objective of the ride was to reach a magnificent temple located in the northern areas.
The ride is mostly asphalt (85% approx.) with brick-paved roads being the main alternative. All in all the ride is fine and does not cross large towns, exception made for Jodipur itself (where the temple is located); nevertheless, even that does not represent a real challenge, especially on a Friday.
The ride should be feasible even during the rainy season, with the only envisaged difficulty at the "broken bridge", where I am sure alternative ways to cross will be available (as people will keep crossing the river during the rainy season).

Details of Shoshan Pokur temple
The temple is plastered with beautiful decoration. If restored it could be a magnificent example of an era of Bangladesh that is not anymore.
