Good; I haven't been there yet.

Meeting point: at 6:00 AM - Koyembedu Bustand - Gate

Just one suggestion...
Can we take the route Koyambedu-Maduravoyal-Chennai Bye-pass-NH5 instead of Koyambedu-Anna Nagar West-NH5. We can enjoy a good 6 lane road all the way upto Puzhal, which will be approx 15 Kms one way.

Is there a plan to Trek (Y/N)
If the Answer to the above ques is "Y", the following needs a consideration.
Safety of the Bikes parked
Can the fully faired ones make in...

^^^ Whether trekking is there or not, I'm not in for trekking. So that leaves one guard for all the parked bikes.

No matter where it is, I am joining! My first G2G

reg: bike safety> i heard from my brother who went recently that its safe to park it there. but there is no safety for helmets/other accessories which you leave behind in the parking area because he lost his helmet there !!!

Tat makes our life simple.. but how long can you manage alone.. expecting few more to avoid Trek .

So we use the gaurds for our gears too..

I don't know Yuvi, may be we don't trek at all due to time constraints. BTW, how long does it take to trek? 1 Hour? That should be fine with me.

Anyway, I don't think we're planning for an entire day ride; IMO, we should be able to return back home for lunch, which I'm fine for both watching & the ride.

Trekking in Thada would surely take 3 to 4 hours, provided noone is planning for a swim.. I do not think someone waiting down all that time will work..

[Only Amit...]

What about yelagiri??? Yercaud??? Horseley Hills??

Yes yes...Please make it to one of these

Sir, we are looking for a weekend short ride around Chennai and be back home.

You can plan for a satday night stay

Will plan sometime and keep you posted.

It depends on how deep we get into the woods, trekking just for 1 hr and return back midway should be fine. Atleaset we,'' get to have the taste of the adventure.

If we are not trekking atleast for an hour, then I don't see any point going to Thada. Unless we wanted to do some off-roading. Sholavaram should be good enough then.
