    <undecided as of now> <riders who will be meeting up at cool joint kindly mention now itself>


    __________________________________________________ ______________


    Meeting time : Should 5:15 Am be okay for guys meeting up at KR Puram ? remember we need to checklist our own belongings, cash, and other stuff necessary for the trip, we'll also discuss any random stuff related to this ride or biking itself.

    And also i need a Chai sutta break thanks to the confirmation below, hopefully it'd be open around 5 am as well

    @Reuterian

    Xeno i confirmed that the chai and sutta tapri on gate 2 exit will be open at 6

        contacting you. !




        hey prajwal, excellent suggestions, regrouping places seem good with the distance margin. the roads arent that great though as praful has mentioned.

        and speaking of you joining in the ride, the only logistics required is the accommodation. ill just buzz you an hour before the ride (4-4:30 am), if you're not confirmed then we'll not be waiting at the meeting point for you. accommodation wont be a problem dude, we can sleep on the floors if the need arises, its just one night that we have to spend there so chill



        absolutely fine by me, if you need some contribution to the booking amount call me up . food would be at max 200 per head since we saved a lot on the food last time.. it was great.

        edit:

        List updated
        Awaiting response from Scarecrow, Anish , Nithin, please PM your details (contact no, vehicle make/colour , vehicle number)

        Meeting Point : KR puram bridge

        +ves for the location

        lies in the route of our trip
        four riders find it very close and convenient

        -Me
        -Ananth
        -Archibaby
        -Umailvivek


        -ves
        KR Puram bridge doesnt have any other landmarks except the bridge itself. so finding a group could be difficult, since there are roads that go below the bridge and other diversions . we could either meet exactly at halfway below the bridge in front of the KR Puram railway station or at one of the end points of the bridge.


        Meeting Point : Cool Joint

        +ves
        familiar to most of the riders and nicely located place where easily a group of 20 rides can converge. also would allow early preride discussions as usual in other rides which have started from cool joint.

        -ves
        some riders will have to ride all the way to cool joint and then again go back on the same route when we start off.


        please post your suggestions.



        EDIT

        Preffered meeting point for guys near KR Puram, read the below meeting point details

        Meeting Point : Big Bazaar opp RMZ infinity techno park
        , near KR Puram (old madras road) as suggested by Sting_Mv

        Google Maps - RMZ infinity IT park opposite Big Bazaar
        +ves
        excellent meeting point as there will be no confusion in locating a biker group.
        close to KR puram bridge as well (2kms maybe)

        -ves

        hopefully everyone is aware of this big bazaar, or the there are too many big bazaars to get confused



        Guys confirm soon where exactly you'd be heading to.

        As far as i can see 8 people are there for the Big Bazaar (RMZ infopark)

        -Me
        -Archibaby
        -Ananth
        -Sting_Mv
        -Umairvivek
        -Reuterian (Amit)
        -Anish
        -Santoosh

        anyone else who wants to meet up at this point ?
        i am vivek (umailvivek) avenger 200 KA 03 HC 9022
        we ll meet up in this location as said by xenologik

            • Well Chennai gang...here is our plan...

              We meet at 4 A.m Saturday and leave at 4.30 A.M Cruise at comfortable speeds...meet the bangi guys at a desired place and head towards horsley hills.

              Rules...Well who am I Kidding...

              I guess this ride might be bigger than the previous one, just missing the likes of John and chetan...Any new on Rocky, prabhu , rahul and the rest of the gang...?

                        I'm in. Confirmed.
                        Ok, I'm still not able to make out where the Chennai guys are supposed to meet.

                            • One more addition to the confirmed list pls! However, i might have to leave earlier than the rest on Sunday from HH. Need to be back home by evening latest.

                              I'll meet up at Cool Joint. Anyone meeting up there?

                              Lets set up a google spreadsheet and update the numbers there. it could be printed out at the last moment.



                              Anyone can sign in and update the numbers.

                              I suggest meeting up at Cool Joint at 4:30am. Leave at 5 to join RMZ at 5:15/5:30am. Leave from RMZ not later than 6am strictly.

                              I am particular about a few things. Especially about everyone having their papers intact and fuelled up the previous night. I really do not want to wait for people to fuel up and keep 20 others waiting. During the ride, I would be looking out for the person behind me all the time, and I expect the rider in front to look out for me as well thru their RVM's.

                              We need a road captain to keep things cool and peaceful if so many r riding together. Who wants to volunteer?

                              If there are 2 groups, then 2 lead riders and 2 sweep riders would be required. This is apart from the road captain. This is absolutely essential if there r 20 riders spread over 4 kms. Perhaps groups of 8 each would be a good idea.

                              Essential hand signals to know would be:

                              Slow down
                              Stop
                              Speed up
                              Roadside stop over
                              Allow the rider behind to overtake
                              Road Hazard

                              Check: Riding Etiquette
                              Check: YouTube - Motorcycle Safety Foundation Guide To Group Riding

                              The only person who should be allowed to overtake would be the road captain. Nobody else overtakes anyone else. I think photo opps should be at the descretion of the captain, the group could move on and the photographer could play catch up with the group.

                              Regrouping every 50-70kms might be a good idea. The following places are a suggestion.

                              Hoskote
                              Narasapur
                              Mulbagal
                              Palmaner

                              @Amit: Dont count on everyone to make it. As is usually the case, the numbers could shrink too. But its good to be optimistic.
