        The fuel pumps on Pune-Bangalore highway (till Wakad chowk) are open 24x7, I would recommend you to get your tanks full at Talegaon pump, where fuel is Rs. 2 cheaper and good quality (no milawat )

            After spending some time at kas, group can move towards breakfast destination (wherever it may be)

            Amitredefined has been to Kas few days back and he is insisting that we should visit Bamnoli which is about 13 km away. He is saying that it is fantastic. His bamnoli photographs are really beautiful. Let us decide on it once we reach Kas.

            Vrathor will also be joining for tomorrow's ride.

              • if you guys reach by 6 am, we will go together. If not, will meet up at kaas. If you actually leave by 3 am, you should reach well in time.
