The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[SriramEfunds]

Kiran has already indicated that Yercaud ghat is unique.

So we will need to stick to basics.

For first timers, shall concentrate on group riding and at the destination will share the good practices how to handle on ghat section.

This time, are we going to target breakfast? For some reason it is inevitable I know but we need to plan such a way that both objective of the meet and breakfast should not be far off ....to lessen the breaks!

I wish to ride to Yelagiri sometimes; may not be possible for this G2G, but just an idea though as the ride is 200+ Kms one way from Chennai or Srini's fav destination - Amirthi Forest

Anyways there's always a ready reckoner here on easy ride destinations from Chennai

You need the gloves, wind cheater/leather jackets for long drives, otherwise you're prone to get tired very soon.

i could improvise for the wind cheaters/leather jackets but no gloves.. this isnt the first time i have gone for a long ride bro.. did a couple of trips before max being 493kms.. i joined this community to do roadtrips !! so could i join with out these?

[Tarc]

Like Sriram, I too am good with "any destination" as long as it involves riding..and it would be better if its atleast 100kms..but, its upto other members choice too..

@Makky, yeah its suprising..the final lap where he crashed was red flagged and it seems they chose the winner from the previous lap. Not sure what rules they have..

The Tirupati ghat section is different from the rest; we don't have any oncoming traffic. You cannot expect the same scenario in the Yercaud ghat section.

One of the most important points to keep in mind is to give way for vehicles coming uphill. And be extra cautious and keep a watch for oncoming vehicles at every curve and hairpin bend. A truck or bus can render you with almost no road space.

Let the destination discussions be on. If a few feel that the destination is too far, we need to look at other options. Please note that we want all the confirmed participants on board this weekend.

@Yellowspunk - PM Felix Raghav, he was talking something about group purchase. But strongly advised to ride with gloves; trust me, its way too comfortable riding with gloves that I switched even my regular rides wearing gloves.
