      Are there places for breakfast at HH that serve 40 hungry bikers?

      Yes!! The IOC Nandini Restaurant would occupy more that 40 Bikers.

      Had been there last week en route to Chennai.

      So decide yourselves.. IOC Nandhini / A1 Reliance Plaza..

        I guess Nandhini would do for me. I hope it doesn't involve going ahead by as much.

        • Great! We're close to zero-in on a meeting point - IOC Nandini or A1 Plaza.

          One (lame) question: The A1 Reliance Plazas, are they still functioning?

          • The A1 plazas have stopped dishing out fuel, but not food!

                If I am not mistaken, during the Yercaud Trip, the A1 Plaza near Krishnagiri had stopped dishing out food as well. It was just a ghost establishment That's y some of the guys went ahead and stopped at Adyar Anand Bhavan.

                I think IOC Nandini is a safer bet coz I believe its just on the Chittoor bypass road.

                Any more suggestions?

                • Are you talking about the A1 plaza that are just off Hosur? The ones where there are two A1 plazas, one on each side of the road.

                  But as you mentioned IOC would be a safer bet!

                  • Guys,

                    My plans have gone back from "confirmed" to "tentative" again.

                    Will only be able to confirm on 28th. Is that alright?

                        • IMO palmaner is a better meeting point and as it has already been agreed upon, we shouldn't make last minute changes that confuse ppl. Let the plan remain as-is. If required changes can be incorporated in the return journey.

                            The idea to go thru Chittoor - via NH18 and NH205 - is just a suggestion. If people are not interested, we can ride thru NH4 and NH219 (via Palmaner).

                            A few from the B'lore team felt that they rode less and Chennai folks rode more. Just to make it up, we brought in a suggesion if we could meet up at Chittoor and ride together. In that way, you guys too have your share of ride.

                            Palmaner is indeed a good meeting point for both the groups. By the time we meet (around 9am or so), we need to settle down to fill our tummies (read breakfast). Given the time and no of bikers, I'm sure it would be quite tough to find a good restaurant. This is the reason why we are focussing on ICO Nandini and A1 Plaza. If there are good hotels in Palmaner, great!

                            It's always good to discuss, debate, and do some homework before setting out on a journey. There is nothing to get confused.

After intro, briefing (safety and group riding) and other discussions, we should be hitting the road by 4:30am. I assume everyone knows how to reach CTC.

                                Praveen should be alerting us with the plan through the course of the week.
