The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[ketan_r15]

So on the general sentiment about the destination we are finalizing Bhimashanker on 25-26th.

No issues with the shravan thing on sat. night atleast and we will be leaving by sun. afternoon.

2 routes lead to it.

1)From Malshej
2)From Talegaon - Chakan.

Poonawala's the choice is obvious.Mumbai gang needs to decide.Malshej route is quite a long cut though.

Malshej route till Junnar was in fabulous condition till last year when I went to Shivneri. Beautiful road going through greenery on both side with flower field in between. Amazing photographic spots. Can't say anything bout the condition now. Better be good.

Hello Mumbaikars,

Watch the trailblazing adventures of 60 KPH on the big screen...... Going where no Motorcycle has gone before.........

I posted this on the "One Crazy Ride" thread, but posting it here as well so that MUMBAI does not miss it...........

Best Wishes,
Ujjwal Dey

I was gonna put the same thing here after reading it on MBC forum. It's hardly 15 mins from my place. I'll try to be there.

Still would like you to calculate both the distances in Kms. and post here.let everyone decide.

Who are these 60 Kph guys? Never heard about them before...

[MG]

2 routes lead to it.

1)From Malshej
2)From Talegaon - Chakan.

I will go for the first one.Bhimashankar is tone thro away from Mumbai.We should atleast do 250kms while reaching there.I would have proposed an even longer route but seeing the sentiments I'm backing off.Btw we can make a splash & dash visit to Mahuli while going to Bhimashankar.

Lastly I'm ok with any plan and IU'm riding along with you guys as I don't want to do the same route twice.

How bout this...
LONAR LAKE

Mumbai-Aurangabad-Jalna-Lonar
600 kms.

India's magnificent hyper-velocity meteorite-impact crater. Lonar ranks amongst the world's five largest craters and the third largest salt water lake in the world.

The small Vishnu temple and most others in the vicinity are constructed in the Hemadpanthi style i.e. without use of cementing agents. While most temples are now permanent abodes of bats and mice, only ones that attract pilgrims have some resemblance to their original selves. Gomukh Temple, along the rim of the crater with a perennial stream is another interesting site.
A fascinating sight is the presence of hundreds of peafowl's which live inside the crater. The crater has potential as a bird sanctuary and also one can sight langoors, snakes, monitor lizards, mongoose, fox and deers. To promote tourism in this area, M.T.D.C. has constructed Crater View Tourist Complex.

I had posted bout this earlier as well with the same satellite image attached below... no doubt a good destination.. I had been there when i was a school going kid.. with my family.. by tourist Sumo.. Superb view one gets there... But true.. that it's a bit far away...

[Anup Abraham]

Lonar is a good place to visit...especially the MTDC resort is also placed right opposite the crater..gives u a good view of the sunset. If you go down the crater you will find a lot of birds and animals...peacock is found but it is dificult to locate as they are a bit elusive.

[ketan_r15]

At Poserbreathing..

as I told u on the phn.. I can't come for the tranformed g2g..i mean the Transformers 2 G2G.. as der's renovation going on at my place.. but we can have a small meet up tonight after say 10-10.30pm at Worli sea face or marile lines or may be recli(but it's not safe these days so keep this as the last option..). I usually go to worli sea face/marine lines after the dinner for a small ride.

If anyone like motor or spider interested to ride down to any of these places..do let me know.. will see to it for sure..

Ride safe guys..!
