great, i think i have come back at the most apt time. i did not get my new password, so was not able to post, anyways that is a very nice initiative by praveen. even if iam not able to ride down all the way i will defn meet u guys and pass on my donation money

Will confirm by Saturday evening.

can we order lunch and have it pre-packed and distribute there? if the strength is around 40 (excluding us) it will not be a problem. since it may rain, we can order anywhere near the ashram itself. Just an idea, if it sounds complicated, lets do it simple and neat!
By the way I am in. I will confirm to ELD by phone.

Nice idea Sai! But don't worry, lunch has been arranged. I think it costs about 30-35 per person. I have found someone who has taken responsibility for that.

@Sai: Are you attending the G2G? You haven't commented on that.

i might not be able to join you guys or a ride..... but will defly give come and give my share of contribution for the orphanage ..........

@all : I might need a ride.... anyone game ???

Spell bound!!!

well i think i will be contributing Rs 500+ few kilos of sweets!!! wel jus cant wait to be ridin as a group!!! yipee!!!

I dunno what my contribution will be, and it all depends. I need to get myself enough for the ride. If I can't, I'll try to pop by and contribute whatever I can to the orphanage.

Your time is what is more important. We'll be happy to have you ride with us.

Formation Riding

Due to popular request and also for the safety concerning the participants of this G2G and also since the ECR road we are going to ride on is very narrow and has no divider, we are going to ride in formation, it will be the same as we had done earlier whilst our trip to the Pulicat sanctuary, for others here's a brief 101.............

1. There will be a formation leader, who will maintain the pace throughout

2. Once the formation has been decided upon, all riders must stick to their respective positions

3. Overtaking is not allowed, and you have to ride with your pilots "ON" (for better reaction time)

4. Maintain a safe braking distance from the rider in front of you, DO NOT tailgate

5. Accelerate and brake progressively giving enough room for the person coming behind you to react accordingly

6. We'll be riding either in a single or double file depending upon the number of riders and the traffic conditions

I hope everyone will co-operate with this, apart from the safety aspect of riding in a formation, you'll be able to appreciate the beauty of riding in formation not to mention the attraction it'll draw!! (believe me, i've done it and it feels AWESOME!!)

^^Super! As usual, we'll have a pilot rider and a sweeper.

Turn ON the headlights (low-beam) if the climate is cloudy/overcast/rainy.

Riders having saddle bags/tank bags: do bring them along. We can stuff some of the goodies (sweets/gifts/etc) in them. Although there will be 3-4 pillion riders, saddlebags should be of good help.

Yup I second that!

All saddlebag owners, please wrap up your content in plastic bags. So is everyone who is intending to bring something. Rain is highly possible.

Totally professionalistic riding! But I like it!!!

Guys! I might be coming! 99.9%. If I manage to convince people at my home to fill tank for me.
But in any case, I'll also let you guys know through message by Saturday evening. Until I say otherwise, consider me coming!
*jumps up and down*
Where are the rendezvous points for the riders?
