    Bangalore Final Route Plan:-

    04:30 - Bangalore to Thoppur A2B - Route! 140 Kms - ETA 07:00 {60 Kmph Avg Speed}

    08:00 - Thoppur A2B to Namakkal [Break] - Route! 100 Kms - ETA 10:00 {50 Kmph Avg Speed}

    10:30 - Namakkal to Dindigul [Lunch Break] - Route! 120 Kms - ETA 13:30 {40 Kmph Avg Speed}

    14:30 - Dindigul to Theni [Grouping Break] - Route! 75 Kms - ETA 16:00 {50 Kmph Avg Speed}

    16:00 - Theni - Munnar - Route! - 100 Kms - ETA 19:00 {30 Kmph Avg Speed}

    Total Travel Time ~ 13.5 Hrs
    Total Travel Distance ~ 535 Kms
    Average Speed ~ 40 Kmph

    Points to Note :

    - The above is a realistic view of our timings. We should try and achieve this as much as possible.
    - The Avg speed is mentioned keeping in mind the traffic conditions and size of the group.
    - If you notice we are taking only 4 odd breaks and yet we are reaching by 7PM.


    Lets be consistent with our riding and try and maintain a decent Avg speed guys! Discipline is KEY!


    Very practical break up Praful.ONE MORE SUGGESTION(though i know it has been mentioned earlier, i would like to bring it to you notice again): Carry spare keys please
    I would also suggest you have a pair of Sun glasses and a music playing in your ears,because almost the first 300 kms of your journey you would see nothing but blazing hot sun and boring open road.However I strictly dont recommend the music playing once you are on the single lane highway and ghat section post Dindugal.As Praful said, early start is the key.Cover as much distance as possible when the sun is calm, post afternoon you are bound to get tired.

          One more suggestion. Update confirmed list in the front page.

                I dont think you need one buddy. Even if you require you can get a good sweater or a jacket for only 50-100 bucks. Latest update on weather can be got by Swaroop.

                  I was there this Friday night. Weather will be similar to Bangalore nights A pleasant 15 to 18 degrees. We can survive on our Tees. Though the prediction says sunny day, in mountains you never know when it showers! :P. I had some trouble on uphill ride at aroun 3 AM with heavy mist. But that won't be an issue for our ride as we will be doing it on day light.

                          Sounds like a boring ride . But I am in .

                          +1 for "Discipline is KEY". Patience is the thing here (12-13hrs ride in a group formation).

                          My first post in the last 5-6 months on this forum.

                              There are loads of them . Will share the stories during the ride (read during the breaks). If I start here, xbhp will turn into fb .
