The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

[Praful]

Its the other way around actually. Don't race with anyone else and Do time yourself.

the 'nt' after 'do' was lost as a typo

I wouldn't suggest timing yourself the first few times around. Else we tend to concentrate more on just improving time rather than the other more important things.

@n_aditya : is the destination confirmed as DD hills ??? or is it still open ... ?

The destination is DD Hills unless someone has a better suggestion.

This is the route according to one of the sites I found.

Route to DD Hills: Bangalore - Nelamangala - Dabaspet - Devarayanadurga (DD Hills).

Can someone confirm on this and help us with the route? We prefer to take the NICE road to reach this place.

I shall post the event details by tomorrow afternoon with the list of confirmed and tentative riders. Do suggest any other places where the roads are good by then, or DD hills it is.

If you take the NICE road you can avoid Nelamangala which kinda means you can avoid a whole lot of traffic and help in your 120kmph plan.

Thanks a ton Avin. Much appreciated.

UPDATE on the ride... just checked and it is predicted that there will be rain on Sunday.

Saturday morning appears to be rain free. Here is the link : Weather Report for Bangalore, India

@ ALL : Please confirm your presence for Saturday as well. I will put up a final plan tomorrow evening based on the weather forecast.

I'm OUT if it's a saturday , i'm riding to mutathi tomorrow ... , two rides in two days is a great for me , but , then again the fuel allowance is running on reserve ... ...

I'm in for a sunday morning or even late morning ...like the nandi trip u guys did

[ang]

i have been to DD hillls before in the previous g2g there, its a awesome place allright..anyways doesnt hurt to visit once again.....where is this muthathi place bro?

If peoples are riding faster or slower, there is a nice option to keep track of all; I suggest anyone with GPRS enabled handset to get Google maps installed, Google Latitude for the trip will help us to keep track of all.

[unirider]

Muthathi is on the way to sangam when we follow NH 209 and take a left turn from sathanur after Kanakpura. I went to muthathi on 10 July solo trip. The 20 km stretch through the hilly forest area is awesome. On 17 July went to shivanasamudram also, roads are not bad except may be 1 or 2 km.

The latitude is just too good for g2g rides i use Google maps with latitude and is very good but cell phone network should be available.
DD hills sounds good I hope to join U aditya on sat morning. Speed limit for me 80-90 (as my bike can not do more than that)
