      4-5 kms from the junction where road from wakad and Dehu intersect.

      For new ppl its the first toll gate while heading towards Lonavala from Pune.

          • Important notice for Pune riders attending tomorrow's (6th March) Mumbai - Pune Mega G2G ride to Lonavala :

            the grouping points are as under

            #1 Chandni Chowk - at Cafe Cofee Day gates, 6.00 am. (If you cannot make it on time.. Try reaching early )
            People starting from their Hadapsar / Magarpatta / viman-nagar residences should ideally start at least at 5:40.
            small briefing about ride rules, inspection of riding gear & papers.

            departure at 6.15 am sharp
            If you are reaching Chandni Chowk after 6:20, dont bother to wait, just give me / Rockrz a call on my cell(no. mentioned below), follow the route as shown in the attached map and join us on the ride.

            meeting point #2 hinjewadi flyover, (labeled on the map as point 2)

            if you are joining here, please co-ordinate with Shrinath Rao
            leave at 6.30 am sharp,

            meeting point #3 dehu road toll naka, labeled as point 3. MG will meet us here and give another briefing to all the riders regarding the rest of the ride.
            we will leave from here at 7.00 am.

            Try to arrive early (for newbies) at your grouping point. Since many people will be coming from Chandni chowk, we will not be very difficult to spot from a distance in the sparse morning traffic. If your call is not answered, head to the last grouping point i.e. Dehu Road. We should try and not stop very much en route to Dehu road so, the correct way to join in would be to start your engines when you see the convoy approaching and then seamlessly join in at the back of the pack (just ahead of the rider tailing the group) so as to not delay the entire group. (This part is only an experiment even though I think we will in fact 'stop' at every grouping point.)

            For people waiting at grouping point #2 and #3, historically, we get around 15 minutes late while leaving from Chandni Chowk. So, if we are a bit late, please give us a call before freaking out and leaving in some other direction altogether.

            the contact numbers are

            antz.bin (Anant Bhatia) :- 09764014636

            rockrz (Deepak Pathania):- 09762871814

            ShrinathRao (Shrinath Rao) :- 09992116116

            P.S.: Do not crib about timings being too early in the morning. I am merely following instructions given by MJee
