Post moved and new thread created

Hope it sees the light of the day very soon!

Thank you Sunil G!

"Laat maar maar ke" it will see the light .. dont worry

Thanks Praful for starting a thread. It's going to be strange to have a G2G meet without you.

Since we had meets in other states in the past, thought this time it should be in KA.
We will need a member from KA to kick start the planning. We'll need to zero on the destination and gather information on the accommodation part.

We'll also have a member from each state as a point of contact.

We need to Volunteer from Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

KA side, I believe Phanikar should be able to manage unless he's busy

TN, we have you!

KL, Swaroop and the rest of the gang should be able to kick-off stuff as well.

Whoa! That's some news we have here. Sadly never been to any TRI-STATE meet, and this being the one. Fingers crossed. Rest, I'll leave it upto you guys!

Cheers!

Nice! first and foremost is the 'dates' . So lets start speculating about the possible dates. And yea there is Diwali holidays in Nov 2nd week(13th) i guess. So most people will prefer to stay with family at that time! Else no issues in Oct/Nov i hope.

Let the party begins

Cheers !!

Happy to know the thread come up finally,

regarding dates , it will be wise to keep this in Nov end or Dec early, as this time monsoon hit late in Karnataka and with possible predictions the heavy rains might lash till Nov. and all the scenic places in karnataka having heavy rains this time.

Finally the thread is up

Firstly the need of the moment is to start a poll for the dates.

if possible we can have a side by side poll for the locations. The ones that flashed my mind were :
1. Chikmagalur: lot of places to see around, Easier connectivity. Most of it has good roads for a group ride.
For TN guys:Chennai-Kirisnagiri-NICE Road-Exit at Nelamangala and take NH48 till Hassan-belur-Chikmagalur

For KL guys: Mysore should be the closest location to enter KA. Mysore-Hasaan-Belur-Chikmagalur

2.Madikeri: Again lots of places to see. Greenery unlimited.

For TN guys: Chennai-Krishnagiri-Nice road(Exit at Mysore Road junction) -Mysore-Madikeri
For KL guys: its easier via Tholpetty/Mysore

Any other place further than the ones quoted will be very far for TN and KL guys.

P.S: Its a pain in the wrong place to ride back in a group on a Sunday on Mysore road.

P.S.S: Anybody who have a better location, kindly add it to the list. Please keep in mind that people from as far as Chennai and Trivandrum should be able to ride without much stress. Also accommodation should be available for a large group ranging anywhere from 60-100.

If its anytime in OCT, I am game. Can be a helping hand in planning though.

As told by other before me, Anybody joining for the first time "must" attend the Pre-ride which will be organised in their respective cities. No relaxation on the Riding Gear Policy.

Finally The Tee designers wake up we need your help ASAP

Hope we make this another grand ride

Cheers.

For the date and place polls ... I would suggest make a Google form and let people put their votes in there. Parameters for the form :-

1. Xbhp id
2. Choice of dates (checkbox-multivalue)
3. Choice of location (checkbox-multivalue)


PS: Don't make it a registration form.. that should come later

I think with respect to connectivity , traffic and good roads .. Chikkamangalore is the ideal place.
and also as pointed by the Phani the Mysore road on weekends will be just hell. so we need to do good thinking on Coorg/Madekeri

Hampi will be a candidate but.. it will be too far for the other state riders.

other worth places might be Udupi side or Gokarna side or even Mangalore where beaches and lush green forests present but interms of distance it will be too much for ride. and not good idea considering that Chennai riders has to cover hell lot of distance.

Looking forward to this!
I've never been a part of any ride on such a vast scale. Missed GIR2 badly to to illness.

But, again in November, I'm going home (Jharkhand) on a big vacation ~20 days.
Lets see how matters shape up.

Interesting.

Looking forward to the dates and of course seniors from here.

Tagging thread for updates... In for the G2G.
