The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

Damn!! Even am at office.. otherwise would've joined for the CCD ride.

BTW, is anyone starting from IndiraNagar or HAL tomorrow morning because am not THAT sure about the route to the starting point.

Not sure if anyone is coming from that side. Wait for updates for that.
Ask anyone for the route to the International Airport. Esteem Mall is on the route, albeit 30 Kms before the airport.
Esteem Mall is immediately after the Hebbal Flyover.

EDIT: The route you can take from IndiraNagar is:
MG Road - Chinnaswamy Stadium - GPO - Raj Bhavan - Right from Chalukya Hotel signal - Golf Course (Le Meridian Side).
Ride down straight from golf course to go to BIAL (Airport).

Which route will you be taking to get to the meeting point? The meeting time is the only thing which is still keeping me in the tentative list

is it necessary to change the meeting point itself in case we need to take this route? Also, can you please tell us the areas which we will be touching along this route?

I stay in malleswaram and will take the following route :

sadashivanagar > mekhri circle underpass > hebbal flyover > esteem mall meeting point.

Lets not change the meeting point and cause confusion. Check google map's for Columbia Asia Hospital / Medical Center (hebbal) for directions. This hospital is a few feet ahead of Esteem Mall.

Via Yelahanka? Do u mean take a right at rajankunte and the join the highway back somewhere near BIAL, or go all the way till D-cross and then to Nandi?

This is a suggested route on the way back so we avoid cops and interceptors. On the way to Nandi we will be taking the BIAL route only.

Then should we take a different route from the meeting point or is it necessary to change the meeting point itself in case we need to take this route? Also, can you please tell us the areas which we will be touching along this route?

U need not change the meeting point even if its decided to take the alternate route suggested by john.

[johnblr]

exactly ...you guys can follow this route

Hebbal - Yelahanka - Devanahalli - Nandi Hills

On your way back come via NH.

This is a suggested route on the way back so we avoid cops and interceptors. On the way to Nandi we will be taking the BIAL route only.

Do it other way round. Alternate route is very narrow and when traffic will be on it would be bit uncomfortable for bikers. Buses are used to push you out of the road most of the time.

Early Morning the road will be empty

To avoid interceptors completely you can stick on your plan then


Jitu's BLOG might give you bit better info

Also, can I go to Marathalli and under the bridge, take a left and straight to Hebbal flyover? Is that also a route ? because am not sure about the places and routes.

Yes. That should also be fine. I thought Marathalli would be far for you, as you emntioned Indiranagar & HAL, so didn't suggest ORR.

Why the doubt mate? Is it the rains? No worries. We are riding tomorrow morning as scheduled.

It has almost stopped raining and I hope it doesnt rain anymore at least till we return from our ride.

[dsids]

Sorry dude. I'm working today and tomorrow too. Aren't you joining us for the sunday ride?

Any more confirmed riders for sunday?

It's gonna be a superb ride as the weather is awesome. Only gotta be wary of the cops and interceptors while we are riding back past the airport.

the weather is just superb..and unfortunately I'm working on Sunday..add to that I was working most of the night on Saturday, though it was an off. But I really wanna come. You guys have been doing awesome rides and I'm like really jealous. My baby is screaming for an outing. Lets see, if I wake up in the morning, I might join in..

We should be back by this time. We wont be riding as far as we did last week.

I really hate to post this and I'm very disappointed with the blasted rain.

Its raining pretty briskly and its not safe to ride in this weather.

The ride is canceled.
