    Coming via NH-17 you have more number of kms to cover and since the road is not four laned so you will take much longer time. The best and fastest is via NH-4.

      Though the work is in progress, the condition of road was excellent & I could keep upto 80+ Kmph (by car) on most of the places around 11ish in the morning on a weekday. Needless to say a motorcycle can fair better?

      Hmm...quite a news to me. Tks.

        80 at most of the places is fine. But don't forget that NH-17 is always twisty i.e you are scaling ghats and being a 2lane it takes some time to overtake when are stuck behind a series of vehicles which is not so in NH-4. There are sections where you literally can close your eyes and ride for 5odd minutes. If say you have to ride 500odd kms on both sections simultaneously then the difference will be atleast an hour and half.

        P.S: All said and done I might take NH-17 while going back just for the pure riding pleasure

          That's the point Lol !!!

          Frankly speaking, I'd like to take NH only when I'm little tired to drive. Otherwise, nothing beats the pleasure of well maintained, excellent condition, state highways with trees on both the sides & curvy roads

            Thanks bro!, I wanted to make it a bit different. But tri state will be an inappropriate thing. Why not interstate? Try to invite some riders from Hyderabad as well.....
            Hyderabad to Munnar is around 1000km!!! Ok, compared to you its less. But lets see how many will come. Lets invite them as special invitees !!

            • Guys

              Just a thought, not sure if ppl will agree... Can somebody do a writeup on this ride (On the number of people participating, route taken by different teams and so on) and we can send it to few corporates if they would be interested in doing sponsorship....maybe they use this ride to promote their product with the bikers.

              Just a thought - Pls dont mind
              Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

                Well...I bet no corporate would consider their sponsorship when it comes to a huge group of riders as it is easy to get lost on the their promotion if not taken care well. Also, we don't want to stand in front of any shop trying to promote products in Munnar, do we?

                We can do a sponsorship ride, but lets not combine it with TSG2G, which to me is an annual xBhp bikers festival

                  Ok got ur point, maybe we can ask them to sponsor T Shirts with the Tsg2g logo and their product also...

                  sorry if it doesnt make sense

                    you said it!! As agree has suggested it, lets keep it(sponsoring) for some other time!! May be a Leh or Bhutan or Nepal or Tawang ride!! And the numbers(of riders) will be less in those cases!!!

                          Ramesh, your suggestion is welcome however, it would not suite this annual ride. Reason? This is purely a biker's ride and their passion.

                              And I wouldnt mind wearing a tee, or even full assortment of gear with ads all over, for a sponsor in my upcoming All India ride. But this one, let it be a private event of us xbhpians.
