hmmm ... i love riding in the wet , but the speeds you guys do probably doesn't allow that ... , i think it's a stop-go kinda shower and might be just damp in the morning ...

@Avin: Forgot my name bro...i am in for the ride...

oops.. sorry .. updated! this is the new list. along with more updates.

Markonahalli dam

Calm, peace, cool breeze, fresh non-polluted air, no honking vehicles. For a person who stay in Bangalore or a similar city, its heaven. Markonahalli dam (lets call it as MD) is a perfect picnic place for a family or a group of friends.

Distance: 93 KMs from Bangalore

About the Place:

MD was built in 1930s Sir M. Visveswaraiah. Constructed across river Shimsha, the dam serves as a water source for almost 4000 villages for agriculture. Shimsha is a sub-river of Kaveri and one of the three rivers which flow in Tumkur district. The dam has an automatic siphon system, very first to be of that kind in Asia – thanks to the great Sir MV. When the water inflow increases and water level reaches 88ft, extra water goes out of the dam unmanned. There is no need of any person to be present to open the gates. Main reason to implement this system is, if water increases by another 4 ft, the famuous temple of Sri Siddalingeshwara in Yediyur will drown.

How to get there:

Bangalore to Nelamangala – NH 4 – 28 KMs – turn left to NH48
Nelamangala to Kunigal – NH48 – 44 KMs – continue in NH48
Kunigal to KSTDC restaurant – NH48 – 16 KMs – turn left to a small road (2 KMs before Yediyur)
KSTDC restaurant to Dam – single lane road – 5 KMs

Food: Best option is to pack food from home. Or get it packed @ KSTDC hotel or Kunigal

Fuel: Lot of petrol bunks on the national highway

Date : 19th September 2010
Meeting Time : 0600 Hours
Meeting Place : yet to be finalized
