Deeply sorry for being so late in getting back with updates. It has been a mad 12 days where I have been developing the trip website and preparing for the trip which is finally slated to start on 1st Feb 2009 Sunday from Delhi.
We will have a BBQ in the afternoon in Delhi on the 1st Feb 2009 (details will be posted shortly after this update). We will head out towards Jaipur on 2nd Feb from India gate (just for the significance). It will be a low key affair since we will be returning to Delhi soon for a mega event while on the trip.
The route details are here.
The trip website site be launched by tommorow evening.Join xBhp On

We all do understand that things must be getting hectic with X-Day (xBhp's D-Day) approaching.
Thanks for posting this latest update Sunny
Oh.. Any reasons for changing over to Delhi as the start of the ride ?
IIRC, it was decided to be Mumbai a month or so ago.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Hi Sunny
Ofcourse u might have done ur research on the route, but here are my opinions (in red)
Originally posted by Sunny View Post
February 2nd MondayPiece of cake, except for the heavy commercial vehicle traffic. Also, before entering Jaipur, around 25-30km away, there is a road going up, to the left. This the bypass. Take this. It will take you onto the other side of Jaipur (from where the highway goes to Ajmer). I would say enter Jaipur from this side. U dont want yourself to be stuck in the awful traffic of the narrow lanes - the road that goes next to the hawa mahal and all
February 3 2009
Jaipur-Udaipur 410kms
- Again, I am sure u will take the Chittaurgarh route and bypass Ajmer. The Chittaurgarh bypass is still under construction, but overall, Jaipur-Udaipur will be a piece of cake
February 4, 2009Ah, the Surat bypass is in a mess. be in touch with the local xbhpians so that they can escort u into the city
February 5, 2009
Surat-Mumbai 302 Km
- Yo - good. Expect for when u hit Boriveli. Then the mess starts. Where r u stayin in Mumbai?

February 11th Wed 2009
Daman-Pune 302 Km
Which route r u taking? Going thru Mumbai? I would advice u to bypass Mumbai completely taking the Thane-Vashi-Nh4 route.
