The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[nin]

Hi friends.. need a favour from you guys.
Me & my frnds r planning a road trip to goa next monday i.e 15th november & will b back to mumbai by thursday i.e 4 day trip in all.
My rough plans r something like this.
Monday 15th - Start at 4 am & reach goa by 6 pm max with lots of breaks & average speed cruising only. look out for accomodation at ny beach in goa (please suggest which beach would be preferable for reasonable accomodation costs).
Tuesday 16th - start early morning & cover as many places as possible in goa which i hav not been to on my earlier visits. halt night at some beach again
Wednesday - Start early morning by 6-7 am again & reach Amboli ghats by early afternoon.. Thereafter ride to ganpatiphule & reach there by evening & stay there for the third night.
Thursday - Start by 6 am & reach mahabaleshwar-panchgani by aftrnoon.. head back to mumbai early evening & get back home before midnight.
My queries:-
1) hav i planned for too many places which are practically not possible?
2) I'm quiet aware of directions to all above places courtesy google maps but i havent been to any of these places by road personally before so any specific pointers?
3)do i need to make advance accomodation bookings at any place? we have no issues to halt at any small decent place or even beach huts wud do in goa but i dont have any idea about their availability on which goan beaches.
Please feel free to advice on any other point u feel important for me to know since this would be my 1st 1000+ kms trip on bike.. Also suggest any alterations in my trip plan if what i have planned is not practical or there is any better option.

are you a friend of ranjeeth iyer ? coz he's going to goa on the same dates...
and nothing is impossible but dont you think it will get very hectic !

Anup - Camping... Did I tell you that @ Karde you can buy Fresh Fish from Auction and bring it back to cook\bbq\Guest house and ask them to cook it?

*mouth watering*

Guys, who are coming for 13th G2G at Thane?
I need approx. no. of people who will join the ride.

sorry ashish i wont be able to join in...you know these engineering examz !

Agree with Satyen Baba (lol..its raining baba's these days)

1) While going to GOA via NH4..No need to go till Belgaum.There is an exit from Sankeshwar.This exit takes you to Ajra and then from Ajra to Amboli.This road meets the Amboli ghats 30-40 Kms before Sawantwadi.So in all around 70-80 Kms are saved via this shortcut.Also be careful if riding in the night at Amboli ghats.Its in pretty bad shape.

2) When you will be coming from Goa to Mumbai and You will reach Ratnagiri,you will find an Chouraha sort of place.Left side road leading to Ratnagiri City..Right side some petrol pump(credit card accepted ).The very next left turn(after the Ratnagiri exit left turn) takes you to Ganpatipule (Guys please correct me if i am wrong on this part )

Cheers

Thanks for the specific direction to Ganpatiphule.. would be useful.

No bro.. I'll be riding solo or max with one more bike. yes it would get too hectic & thus avoiding few places.. lets see how the plans shape up.

[nin]

all the best man...and dont worry the people out there are very helpful...just ask for directions and they would be more than happy to help...

enjoy your ride...ride safe !
