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

    Good Morning to everyone,

    I need a quick suggestion. I am planning a road trip to Surat for some wedding I need to attend. But my scary part is this heat. Based on anyone experience should I travel like 3 am or anyone recommend a early morning ride like 6 or something. I know it may sound stupid but I was confused and wanted to ask who understands biking passion as all says why travel in such summer heat. I love riding and want explore roads on bikes rather then car...BTW I own a bullet 350 if it helps.

      Hey,

      Avoid night riding by leaving at 3 ish. Leave Bombay by 5.30 am so when you start from fountain hotel it will be around 6 am and the sun will be up

      If you maintain speeds of 80 to 100 you can easily reach by 10 - 11. The heat will start hitting you from 9 am. So keep hydrating yourself and take as many halts as required.

        Thank you for the help. Can you help me with one more thing..? You say no for night riding because there are chances of being sleepy or visibility or anything else? Just want to understand and make a informed decision.

          Both the factors and truck drivers are half drunk at night.
          Another factor being random animals coming onto the road.
          Many people are comfortable riding at night. But if you have the option then always better to avoid it.

            Bro,

            Even if you start by 6 am you should reach Surat by 11 am if you maintain decent speeds of 85-90 which IMHO is pretty much doable on NH8. So why risk things at night. ?

            And I don't think so it would be so much hot by 11 am. If you have good experience under night riding without any fuss, road is yours brother.

            Cheers,
            Sanjay

                            Looks like there are no rides happening. Anyone living in the suburbs, especially the Malad/Goregaon region who want to ride and may know a nice road to ride?

                            And every great rider also needs to relax and hang out somewhere. I do that at http://www.facebook.com/2wheelengine
