    • @rossi, Santa: Yup thats the damN that archi, avin and some other guys couldn't find on their 'Find the damn dam ride'

      As of now, the krishnagiri damN is winning hands-down in the destination competition !

        Krishnagiri dam is a good idea, and the roads from hosur to k'giri is superb, had been through this road when i was heading for elagiri ride with the BBC guys.
        The ride is tempting, however, I'm tenative. I still have to see what is my status that day, till then I can't 'fully' confirm.

        • Find that damn dam guys, and post nice big pics of it. We went some time back and managed to cover all areas EXCEPT the dam.

          I won't be making this ride though..going outta town.
          But, I am game for any rides September onwards.

          • Damn..!!
            Is this the dam near a place called Shoolagiri by any chance. There was a BN ride to this place last month. Missed that one, I'm in for this one.
            Newez I'm sure Capt Jack "Shadez" Sparrow will lead us to the right location.

            If we leave early (before 5:30) Hosur is okie otherwise its a pain. There is an alternate route through Varthur that joins directly at Attibele. This can be taken from Sarjapur too. I've heard it goes though some villages/farms and is scenic. I dont know the exact route though. Maybe somebody can help here.
            From Attibele junction we turn left towards Krishnagiri.

            Another destination to be considered is "Shivanasamudra falls". I believe its on Mysore road but have no idea about the road conditions. I just saw some pics on the net and its pretty, felt like taking a dip right away
            This is the link: http://wikitravel.org/en/Shivanasamudram. It says the distance is about 135kms

            Just a suggestion, will follow the leader

                • My vote goes to the Krishnagiri dam.. The roads are simply amazing (after Electronic City), to say the least..

                  I have been to this place.. It was quite nice when I had last gone 8 months ago.. Its said to be at its splendour right now, thanks to heavy rains in the areas around..
                  Hadn't been there through the Mysore Road route.. Had taken the Kanakpura Road route, & it was a real pain.. Plus, its quite a narrow road (1+1 laner most of the time), so I don't think it'll be recommended for us, considering the no. of bikes we are foreseeing to participate in the ride..
                  The place is very nice, but I think the Krishnagiri dam option scores over. mainly due to better roads..

                  PS: No offence meant to your suggestion bro! Just a comparo..

                  • Krishnagiri? Could I be counted in? Tibby bhai and me had been on that road recently,really good roads,unfortunately we didn't have the time to go all the way to the dam! We both were thinking of suggesting that place,but by that time someone else already did!

                        • Very sorry for crashing - in. Is there space for a pimped R15?? There is a possibility that I might be there and so would try to join in, if I reach Bangalore before ur starting time. Will update details here!

                          Since am at office and images are blocked, I cannot see the image on the first post by SriKeerthi. Can someone update the details in the subsequent posts on the first page? Probably Pranay, John or SriKeerthi???

                          P.S: I have Praful and Pranay's numbers. Will update my status to them accordingly!!
