    The ride through the city can have the following route :

    Meetup at Chandni Chowk at 6:40 - Departure by 7 - Then ride via Bavdhan to Aundh and stop at greenpark and move ahead to highway - enter warje - karve road - stop at Kothrud McDonalds - sinhagad road via rajaram - deccan via dandekar pool - FC road, with a stop ahead of FC maingate - via RTO road to phoenix marketcity - Koregaon park - camp, east street road - U turn to MG road - return to decaan, JM road - head up straight to FC road and then to SB road - then Law college road to grubshup. We can have breakfast at the end (Grubshup/roopali etc), accordingly changing the end point.

    We should be able to finish the ride by 10-10:30am (without breakfast).


    EDIT : The highway part has been included on purpose, to warm up the riders, as the rest of the ride through the city would be a slow one.



    Cheers.
    Looks like a great idea.

        Guys -

        Planning to do either of these routes between 15th - 18th August.

        Any advice, updates on road conditions etc are welcome. The routes are non-standard routes, as I have been itching to do some exploring of late.
        Might not be the best season to do so, but still would risk it.

        Rout 1 ---> Pune - HArnai - Shrivardhan - Pune
        https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=P...5,6,7,8,9&z=10


        Route 2 - Pune HArnai - Devgad - Pune.


        If anyone wishes to join, you can PM me, and we can discuss the details.

        Thanks in advance.


        P.S. - If this isnt the way to post links, I am sorry, couldnt find a better way to post it.

          Hello all,

          There is a ride planned on 15th of August,

          Avinash (The Monk) has dispatched flags (Not the tricolor) which need to be signed and sent back. I want to know who all are interested for the Independence Day ride, I know some of you are riding out because of a joint weekend. Those interested for 15th Aug ride can chalk out routes and timings.

          About the flag and signing thingy, pls check this link - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/biker-ye...otherhood.html

          The route mentioned looks good but Aniket you dont wanna mix highway riding with city riding, also, getting the permission from cops would be a tedious affair for off city limits. According to my knowledge PUNE RTO is also organizing a ride (need to double check on that).

            I have spoken with Aniket and may be in the first time in history I agree with Ishan. Mix of Highway and city riding is not good.
            [MENTION=38540]Eshan-P180[/MENTION] - where does the permission for cops comes into picture? We are aware about the rides planned by various groups in Pune. However, we do not want to waste time waiting for others to reach, prepare and then put up with idiotic behavior. We have all that in our group itself ;-)

            There is a slight modification to the route suggested by Aniket. Here is the link -

            Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.


            Ride plan is as follows :

            Ride date - 15th August 2013
            Meeting Point - Chandani Chowk at 6.40
            Departure - 7.00 am

            Route to be taken -

            Chandani Chowk - University Circle - Sancheti Hospital - COEP - RTO - Wadia College - Taj (Blue Diamond) - Empress Garden - Swargate - Dandekar Pul - Mhatre Bridge - Karve Road - Fergusson College road

            It is around 30 km and should take max 1.5 hour. There would not be stopping enroute. No slogan shouting. No antics (applicable to all except Ishan).

            I have ended this ride on FC road because on 15th August most of the restaurants will be closed. I know for sure that Roopali would be open so if anyone wishes to have breakfast / treat everyone else, the option is open. This is not part of the ride though.

            Unless there are more than 10-12 riders, there is no point in holding this ride. So please post your confirmations. Since this is just 3 days to the ride, I have not put in the category of tentative riders.

            Confirmed Riders :

            1. trustvishwas - N250
            2. Aniket_N - CBR250

            • Re: The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

              While any ride idea is good, I would like to differ on this ride idea. We do see a lot of hooligans line up their two wheelers, ride in the city, disrupt the regular traffic flow, cause inconvenience to others and not to mention, burn up fuel riding in the city where no pleasure is derived.

              Why not do something different this time? xBhp had earlier taken up an activity of planting saplings at the Chatursringi hills. The activity was fun filled and satisfying. I feel that if all converge at a point and go together to help out the plantation, it would be a better idea. A breakfast at Grubshup or Roopali will follow this activity. Let the Pune chapter represent a change. Just my two cents (paise)...

                NV that sounds fantastic but again we are choosing to do something which can be done on any regular weekend also. Or we can have a poll for this too, lets see where the participation is more and do that in interest of the group. I'm okay with both events, preference is ride.

                  The only question that hits me is regarding the end objective of the group ride. End of it, riding through the city is something that you do everyday

                  Anyway, let's have a poll or maybe Vishwas can pitch in with his thoughts. I'm confirmed for whichever activity is decided for 15th August.

                    1. This will be a disciplined ride with no hooligans in sight (except may be Ishan ;-) )
                    2. Since the ride is at 7 am till max 8.30 am on a national holiday, there would not be any traffic disruption/jam.
                    3. You are right about burning up fuel for a ride inside city and I wholly agree with you. However, this ride has been initiated on request of several others.

                    We require police permission for holding a rally. We are not holding a rally. . . there are no posters . . . no slogans . . . no loud speakers. We will just be riding through the city and for riding through the city, permission is not required.

                    There is no time for poll. It is just 3 days now. Either we have sufficient number or don't ride. Simple.

                      I had a word with Hemant right now, flags are dispatched over the weekend, will reach by tomorrow evening. 1 Flag accommodates 15 signatures, 3 are couriered.

                      I thought general ride might require permission too. Roadshakers are also organizing the same flag thingy ride in the city, I have clearly mention to Hemant (Sunny's representative) that we will not be grouping with Roadshakers. Stick to the group during the ride, we are not part of Roadshakers or any other riding group.
