I probably overlooked the 'cause' stuff for this ride, when I heard/read about this ride. Apologies for that!

Next time you do something like this.... count me in.

My organization is big time into such activities (I mean CSR activities).
EDIT: Do not quote the organization name anywhere in the forum. (if any1 remembers where i work

)

I can talk to my organization wrt monetary support for such causes, on a condition (this condition is not mine...but my organization's

) that I am a part of such initiative.

So guys... (especially Pune xbhpians)... please ping-pong-dong me if anything like this is planned the next time round.

@all riders: All the best!

@ Arayan-- thank you and yes we will keep this thread updated till we leave.....

@all- Child labour cant be eradicated within a day or a month or a decade... it will take an eon.... but what we are trying to do here is making them aware of their basic rights, we are just trying to stop them from getting exploited. As mentioned in the first post, i couldn't help SHANKAR to stop doing his work.. but what i succeeded in was making him go to school and i told him "tell your seth not to hit you... else we will file a case against him".... he was so happy to know that...
what else did i do? nothing
how much did it cost me? nil
how much time i invested? may be 20 mins per day

what did i get? immense happiness

this is what inspired this ride.... even if by our miniature efforts 1 single child gets what Shankar got... then I will be happy, and even if there is no change I ll still be contended because i know that at least i tried....

I dont have much to add, but have just one advice.

The particular stretch from Gokarna to Mrudeshwar to Kundapura to Mangalore road is in a pathetic state. I'm down with some serious hip pain after riding on that horrible road. try to do it in daylight, and take lotsa breaks. The whole highway is messed up pretty badly, and riding at nights would be a strict NO-NO.

Good Luck, Ride SAFE!

Yeah, Its better to ride on Sringeri - Kudremukh stretch twice than riding on Gokarna - Mangalore route. Anyway, It wont be a big deal when you think about the cause you guys are riding for. And have your tyre pressures lowered a bit while doing these bad stretches.

Aah, thats bad news. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the heads-up. If things go according to plan, we will not have to do any night riding.

Very good initiate. Would have been nice if happened to touch Chennai. Never mind.

All the best to you guys and have a safe trip.

Pune --> Mahabaleshwar --> Poladpur --> Panaji -- > Karwar --> Gokarna --> Kundapura --> Someshwar--> Sringeri --> Kudermukh --> Kottigehara -- > Mangalore --> Bikal --> Talparamba--> Mananthavady --> Beenachi --> OOty --> Bandipur --> Mysore --> Bangalore -- > Pune

Guys, you may want to stay in touch with the Coimbatore guys; since you're touching Ooty, Coimbatore is quite near to it. Probably they might be of more help since its near.
