Thx ketan, thx a lot for the info. All the info provided by you is absolutely correct. The road is not at all a problem as had been the earlier tooo, so mostly knw most of the bad streches till Ahemedabad or a little extended till Little Rann of Kutch (till the new Nano site) but after tht im blank. This is one reason I dont want to ride on tht strech @ nite.

The most important thing im worried bout is the weather. Ahemedabad is fully dry for the whole last weeek. Day before yesterday the temp was around 48C in the city. Tht means the route will be more hot. Rajasthan is always hot agreed but in summers itz tooo hot. My question is simple, can u ride in 48C rather put it this was should you ride in this temp? (I wanna ride, there is no doubt here.)

Satyen is out, he has some commitments.

@Ajinkya: Where r u man. No updates from you.

so this ride is off is it?
four of us is out already.. spidey, satyen, anup & vikram!!
instead of make this ride just like another Hampi touch and back run, we will go some place else.. daman??goa??

Razor this ride is not at all offff. I dont want to go to Goa . Damn is jst boring yaaaar. If nyone had a better location in south (expect Konkan) then plz suggest. Or else im goin to mnt abu solo.

So the rides yet on.

@Ketan R15: Leh and Kardungla etc the temperature fall below 3 degrees, wont you ride in the extreme...Northeastern states recieve very high rainfall and sometimes floods...wont you enjoy them...
Landslides may happen..what would you do crib????
Kerala the temperature was so hot that once my nose bleed, but it was a part of the ride hence took it as it is....

" IF ALL IS WELL, WHERE IS THE ADVENTURE"

Bravo Cos!!!!

Guys, just an update from my side...
I had gone to meet a guy from MBC who's a vastly experienced rider and a part of record attempt GQ run done recenetly. Here are a few updates that I got from him... THESE ARE JUST SUGGESTIONS THAT I GOT FROM HIM AND NOT A SINGLE WORD FROM MY POCKET..SO PLZ DONT START DEBATING ON THIS POST.. Climate is quite hot and fire starts very soon these days..

1) I guess Cos or someone mentioned the distance from Mumbai to Mt. abu is around 750kms. Well that guy was confident that the distance is way over 800kms and very close to 900kms. So it's gonna b a long long journey.

2) The climate there is absolutely killing.. So be very very careful..

3) Patch between Surat and Vadodara(or some other place) I guess is not complete. It's in very bad condition. Some one here mentioned that patch is just 20-30kms. Where as, as per his knowledge it's between 100-120kms. A back breaking ride.

4) There's a small diversion to take for NH8 where the construction is going on which is very easy to miss. So be careful with that. Otherwise you'll end up going on the expressway.

5) One day or even one and a half day is not enough to explore Mt. Abu and surroundings. So try to stretch ur schedule a bit(which i know is not very likely) and stay there for atleast 2-2.5 days.



Just a piece of advice guys..
Ride Safe! Enjoy ur ride! Keep urself cool...!
Ciao..!

Regards,
KeViN...

Any1 riding anywhere this weekend ???

We went there in Feb only & roads were very much bearable... On bikes we enjoyed it a lot in after noon with 40*C I guess
ask, calvin, merwyn, meisrossi & spidy

Roads are not at all a problem, Razor, Cos, Calvin... all know the road well.
