The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[anants_220]

PS - What is the difference between Meetup point & Destination?

how about Vedanthangal ? Ample parking,shade.Just that its a bit far off.

Boy!!! someone has to attend office after the strenous ride of 160+ Kms!!! Besides what do we do for breakfast, I don't wanna eat the birds for breakfast OR did you mean Vandaloor as Vedanthangal?

My idea to propose MMSC was because of the forth coming G2G ride on NH4 & we can all get accustomed to the group riding on NH4 otherwise any place (except ECR) is fine with me.

Sriperumbudur would be too far (one way 50-60 Kms) otherwise I would've proposed this. Probably we can ride upto this place as a trial run in the forth coming weekends.

CTC = You mean Chennai Trade Centre? But do they allow us inside or should we stand out the gate?

We cannot go inside or stay there for very long. This is just the meetup point, outside the gate. That's it.

We need to take the views of the rest. Let's see what others have to say.

Sriperumbudur would be too far (one way 50-60 Kms) otherwise I would've proposed this. Probably we can ride upto this place as a trial run in the forth coming weekends.

Sriperumbudur isn't that far; around 40 kms max (one-way). Let's keep our options open.

Guys, pour in your suggestions.

Guys!

Lets not fudge about the breakfast, even we can do a 'take away' from hotel on the way. Meeting could be even under a good shaded trees.

If we start looking for some good restaurants towards our desitnation, we might or we might not find. However, our motive is not targeting good hotel but take a trial run.

Keeping in mind of few who would like to get back early, shall keep the ride short and sweet.

Lets fix the destination at all.

Another thought: 5:30 starting would be ideal provided if all could make it to starting point without delay would be much appreciated.

Any comments?

You copied that; didn't you ?

Anyway, you chipped in at right place when we were fussing; its a great idea. Lets roll up the breakfast in a backpack & keep riding.

Right & that's why my signature below carries the message; hope no one reads that.

At RGM (Rajiv Gandhi Memorial), if one takes a left, the country side road leads to Vallakottai & one can find lots of trees, shade & fields to park & have food. I've done this stretch long ago.

Well, I just remembered our Erode trip, thought why not we do for this ride too...

[aargee]

Yea, you're bang right on that; if we need to keep looking for good outlets that is not crowded & need to ride for long, then we've to keep riding for ever.

@Kirosh - I think the issue on food is solved now as we can pack up unless you've anything specific in mind; now its upto you to fix up a destination.

[kirosh_03]

The main agenda of this meet is to discuss about the Yercaud trip. Other than that, I don't have anything specific. And I want people who have confirmed to come for this.

Oh!!! Yes Kirosh, we also want to try the group ride; I personally would like to test my ability.

Me too. Would like to see how well I jewel in with the group.

Having the food packed is a good Idea. Moreover, a 5 30 start means we can be back to Chennai by 9. SO even some junk food, juice , tender coconut and mainly a cup of Tea should do the trick.

May be we can take up Aargee's words and do a ride up to the village roads near Mallakotai, discuss the details in the tree shades and be back by 9 - 9 30. Or we can do the drive till vedanthangal, do the discussions there (under the tree shades) and be back even early.

What say guys..?

Vedanthangal is quite far buddy, I would rather prefer something on NH4 say like MMSC nearby place or the Mallakotai which aargee suggested. Discussion under shaded tree would be good experience.

[Tarc]

I am good as long as it involves some riding..just wanna tryout group riding (my first time )..if its NH4, we could also check out the race at MMRT on our way back..

Buddy, not sure if there're any race events going on there; even if it were, I'm not willing to get burnt ; I'll be riding home after the meet.

@Kirosh - what's your suggestion?
Time : 5:30 AM
Date : 6-June
Meetup : CTC???
Destination : Sriperumbudur???

Err...Haven't met anyone who eats birds for breakfast.So if I would've said Vandaloor,you would've told me you don't want to eat the animals.And no I don't think i will ever confuse Vandaloor/vedanthangal.Been to both places.There are places to eat on the way and the roads are butter smooth .


If one way 50-60 kms is too far,then maybe we should just ride from our places to Spencers maybe and get back.10km one way
