Ah, come on, you know we guys like to do things like these, we are not
spontaneous bikers like you man

@ALL- I'm pretty skeptical about my attendance to this g2g (too!) The water around my locality has slowly been increasing and right now thw whole street is under knee-deep water, and the nearby pond also overflowing it seems, i think i might have to put my status on hold, again sorry people it seems like the Goddesses of Bad Luck seem to have really taken a liking to me these days

^^well man!! cho sad!!!! is ur ride back with u???

^^Yet to, knowing PBK they might not even have started the work on it yet

You are killing me.
Seriously though, try to make it man. It'd be too good if you did. Besides, I think your ride'll be able to make it across water.

Atleast THOSE goddesses have a liking for you. I seem to be repelling all of the female kind.

In the meanwhile, can we please have a list of people who are confirming their attendance again? Updated?

Please refer the bottom of the first post. I keep updating that for the members who would be attending...

Dude, i don't have my bike with me man, that's the whole point, it's there at the SVC station for repairs

Iam very much attending! but my uncle is coming to Chennai after 3 years right on sunday. If we return home before 6PM 100%, no problem then!

@xinfii

thnx for da msg..
Dude am unable to make it on sunday as am not feeling well..definitely join u in next g2g..

@Sai: Take my word. We'll be back by 6.

@Ram: I have been running a high fever until now from the moment I initiated this G2G. Be positive about your health and hope it will be fine.

Folks,

The orphanage has children studying 3rd grade to 11th grade. Most of the ones are quite young I believe. Strength is 30-35. When I have more information, I will post.

Thanks for the info!!

Guys it seems there is heavy traffic along the ECR due to rains!My dads friend traveled from Pondy to Chennai today by car and it took solid 8 hours!!!!.But lets hope for the best on Sunday.


@All:If someone could give weather forecast for Sunday along the east coast road,it would be helpful.Any inputs regarding the rains???

I'm not sure about the rains. But we can be prepared for it. The good thing is that we are riding early enough to avoid traffic. Plus we always have the GST as an alternate. Not to worry!

^^Yup!

Who all are bringing saddle bags??Need accommodation for the things that I will be bringing.

Count me in.. I will be coming from Bangalore to Chennai in Evening tomorrow.

Damn. Well, do try to make it bro. It'll be good if you do. It ain't fair if you skip twice in a row.

I think I have clothes that I can give away to these children. May I make that part of the contribution?

Does the estimated distance change via GST?
And like you said, I don't expect we'll encounter traffic en-route to the orphanage since we are starting quite early in the morning.
We could consider GST for the return journey, depending on the weather conditions. But then again, I may be badly mistaken in this regard. I have no approximation of the route, so if someone cares to contradict me, please feel free to do so.

Ok, from what I have noticed, in the past two days, the showers have been considerably light, ticking off only AFTER around 5 p.m. If we encounter the same weather on Saturday, we might be able to get a fair idea of what Sunday is going to be like.

Several things as reminders:
1. We have still not decided the rendezvous points for the riders. I expect we'll need to have 2 points, one somewhere compact inside the city. And the other one could possibly be near the Toll Gate on ECR, considering riders who are coming from Velachery. I myself shall be one such rider.

2. In case we are riding in formation like ELD planned, we still haven't decided who the pilot and the sweeper will be.

3. I don't see anyone else who has volunteered to host ELD or Wonderboy. I can have a rider tag along with me. (If old clothes can be a part of that contribution, then I'll be bringing along the clothes with me. Just in case people need to know.)

Er, I hope I wasn't too bossy with the reminders on that aspect.
