Thanks a lot Phani. Any idea about what would be the ideal time to cross Hosur-Chinar road, i mean, when can we expect less traffic on this stretch, in order to avoid getting stranded.

IBA Bun burner ride planner

Friends,

I am planning an endurance ride.
I am planning to take following route:

Bangalore-Hyderabad-Pune-Bangalore-Madurai, covering around 2500 Kms in 36 hours. IBA bun burner ride.
Of the route mentioned above, I have ridden only on Bangalore-Pune stretch during my saddle sore.

So, my rider-friends, please provide me with information on following points:

1. How is the condition of Bangalore-Hyderabad road? Do I have an alternate route to avoid traffic on Bangalore's international airport road?
2. How is the Hyderabad-Pune road? Anything to keep in mind while entering and exiting Hyderabad?
3. Anything to keep in mind while entering and exiting Pune from Hyderabad's side?
4. I would be exiting Bangalore towards Madurai. I understand that till I cross Hosur, it is traffic ridden. Now, what is the best way or time to beat the traffic?

I hope I will get answers to above mentioned questions.

Thanks in advance.

Saddlesore during diwali

Brothers,

Ever since i became active here two months back, i read a lot about saddlesore.

It fills me up with adrenaline even to think about doing it!!!

So we have diwali on 23rd (thursday) and friday can be taken as a casual off... Saturday and sunday are off.

So i think that would be right time to try a saddlesore before full blast of winters hit us.

I have not really planned anything, but i always wanted to ride to mumbai and meet my friends. And delhi-mumbai happens to be around 1600 km.

So is it advisable to try a saddlesore?

The bike: pulsar 200 ns
Time: diwali
Route: delhi-mumbai

I have done delhi-chandigarh in 2 hrs 50 mins. (270 kms) a couple of times.

Please advise with the things i should keep in mind

Saddle sore needs lot of planning. You need to plan right from your sleep cycle to number of petrol bunks through the stretch. I know it is adrenaline pumping. But it is not something which should be done in the spur of the moment. Please do plan properly before attempting.
