The last date for making the payment is 10/10/12. Would request everybody interested for the ride to transfer the money as soon as possible, since the confirmation of stay will be done only after transfer of money as it is a long weekend in Karnataka with Nov 1st being a holiday as well. It was painful affair to get a place for such big a group for the long weekend and i don't think anybody would be interested in losing this as well.


Itenary for the meet:
Day 1(Nov 2nd) : The groups from different cities will start coming by post afternoon.
Day2(Nov 3rd) : Will have breakfast and leave for Mullayanagiri. After spending some time we will be coming back to the homestay for lunch. Post lunch we will ride down to Ayyanakere/Viewpoint/Bababudangiri (will be decided later) for photo shoot and come back to the homestay for Bon-Fire.
Day3(Nov 4Th) : The groups will start to leave as early as possible depending on the distance that has to be traveled.


P.S: The drink and Ride prohibition will be on for this ride as well. Whoever planning to consume alcohol, please leave you keys with your city lead/SPOC.

In case of any confusion/information, you can get in touch with the following people:
For KA: Praful Tripathy(ID:Praful) and Phanikar(IDPhanikar)
For TN: Sriram Krishnan(ID:sriramefunds) and Karthikeyan (ID: karthitup)
For KL: Swaroop Sunder(ID: Swas)
If anybody interested to join us apart from the three states, it would be a pleasure to meet and ride with you all. You can get in touch with any of us

Few pointers for the ride, well in advance: No excuses of over looking the post will be accepted.
Mandatory gear: proper full face helmet/jacket/gloves. Same for both rider and pillion.
Recommended gear: knee protectors/proper raingear.
*If you dont have the necessary gear ready, please go fetch it. There is lot of time left.
*Shorts/Three-forths/sandals/chappals are a strict No-No while riding.
*Anybody failing to implement the above said points can leave on their own from the starting point. Group riding will be taken up very seriously going further.
Please get your bike in good condition before the ride, so that neither you or others will be delayed. Unforeseen circumstances can be understood, but break down due to your negligence needs to be minimized. Please pay attention to the pre-ride briefing for further details

Few *recommended* stuff to be carried, Not only for this ride but for any long ride.
1. spare Key
2.Acc and clutch cables.
3.Fuses(in case you dont have any spare fuse slots provided on the bike, more so if you have made any changes in the electrical circuit like HIDs etc)
4. A Spare headlight bulb
5. First Aid kit with all the essentials( Anybody taking a regular course of medicine for a particular ailment like against some alergies/Asthma and the likes) please keep a note of it. The nearest medical help from the place of stay is a good 15-20Kms away.
6. Pack your luggage in polythene covers before you dump it into a backpack or saddlebag.
7.As far as possible avoid having a back pack on your shoulder.Tie it to the back seat with a bungee chord.
8.Puncture repair Kit and foot pump/electric pump to be carried by one/two people in a group where you are starting from.

P.S: These are not just for this ride, its adviceable to use it on all long rides.

The Pre-ride and actual ride details will be posted by the respective group leads.

The registartion will be available here soon......
Let make this ride a big success.

Jadayupara ride did n't happen. Instead we rode to Cape via NH7 and Coconut Bay.

Jadayupara 50 km from TVM, in MC Road.

where is cape and coconut bay??

jadayupara i know that. Coming from trivandrum its i think just some kms after kilimanoor.

Jain's funeral procession begins between 9 and 9:30 AM from his home and some function at Pattoor Church at 10 AM. Funeral at Malamukal Church after that.

where is cape and coconut bay??

Cape is Kanyakumari. Coconut Bay is near Vizhinjam.

God's finger touched him, and he slept....Death ends the life, but not the relationship...Dear jain you will have always a place in our heart

Madurai-Kanyakumari is awesome, well-laid, 4-6 lane stretch + service roads, less traffic. Watch out for cattles and mopeds, TVS bikes, tractors coming wrong lane and idiots cutting through intersections without looking.

Had an awesome tiring hot short ride after sometime with xbhpians.
Why can't we do this very often Say one per month.
Also wishing our "small Biker" Ashith a great future and career
