As of now, it remains the same. But if there are any change in plans, it will be my foremost duty to let you know much prior to the ride. However, you would still be joining us from the Mayura hotel and I am sure we can coordinate the time and location. So, no worries there.

Re: The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

Excuse me for posting it so late, here is the detailed post:

Nice to see so many enthusiasts making up for this ride.
Few things which should be made cleared before the start of one of th epic rides, which offcourse will be memorable and my be first timer as a group or representing xBhp.

Most Priority:
Everyone will be treated equally, irrespective of their age/experience/culture/forum/achievements/drawbacks. Please do not try to market/advertise any group or product unnecessarily that others might feel uncomfortable/cause rifts and may create problem. Lets enjoy the riding.

Riding Gears:
Helmets: Full face are a must. Cap type one are not accepted. If anyone going for it please change it, it is for your own safety.
Jackets( Armoured Jackets, else any thick jacket to protect your skin, Make sure you are comfortable riding with that even during afternoon and then so carry Elbow Guards too).
Riding Gloves: Proper riding gloves which covers all the fingers. Cycling/Snooker/Half gloves are a big NO.
Riding Pants: Knee Guards, in case you are not using riding pants.
Shoes: If not a proper riding shoes, any leather shoes with ample amount of protection. As far as possible avoid sport shoes as the level of safety they offer is very minimal. Chappals/Sandals are strictly prohibited.
Proper protection from cold as this winter season will be at its peak at this time of year and specially in Kudremukh.
If anybody wants to divert from the above said rules, Please stay at home or ride separately.

Ride and Route plan:

Ride formations:
Since the group is bigger, they will be split into groups based on speeds that people are comfortable doing till Hassan:
1. Fast group(110kmph+)
2.slow group (80-100kmph)
3.Unless anybody is willing to ride way below 70, then make it sure you will reach way later as expected to reach Hassan
However, the final decision of splitting the groups will be taken by Suvrajit/me looking into riding conditions and people joining and riding the Route/Terrain.
From Hassan whole team is gonna ride together.

This is a request all of you to adhere to group riding ethics. If you thing you are above the rules of the rulebook, request you to ride alone rather causing nuisance for others. The group sweep and lead will be decided before the ride, based on the participation of group rides earlier on such long runs and also familiarity with the route.
Break points are mentioned below.

Kindly go through this for better understanding about group rides: Group Riding

The route that we will be taking is :
Bangalore Guys meet at this diversion on Nelamangala-Mangalore road latest by 04:20am http://goo.gl/KtlUeySTarting time: 0430 Hrs
Route: http://goo.gl/eHpIrfKIOCL guest house, Kudremukh

PS: Please look into these map locations specially the meeting point.


Plan is to reach Kudremukh(specifically checkpost) in Daylight before checkpost closes, which is very much possible, even with the lowest capacity of bikes in the group, if ridden with discipline and minimum number of break. Taking ample amount of rest before the ride makes wonders. Group riding will definitely kill time, as against solo or small/well co-ordinated group of 2 or 3(depends on no of people participating). Also being winter season, riding in the fog is time taking.

Note: Kindly all have your bikes in the best possible condition before the ride. Please don't leave anything to breakdown due to your own error. However under unforeseen circumstances, 2 people will be along with the rider to help him fix things and continue the journey. The rest of the group will continue as per schedule.

Meet Schedule(For everyone):
Day 1 : Reach the hotel before evening and explore the place and famous bonfire in night with haunted stories.
Day 2 : explore nearby area and then bid adieu to the place and return back to Bangalore by late evening.

A thing or two about packing/luggage fastening :
Touring involves luggage to be carried, a lot for many and a little for few.

Your touring Luggage may include:
Backpacks
Tank Bags
Saddle bags
Top cases etc etc


It is a very important aspect to have a look at safety of your luggage before you start a ride. Any loose ends/straps/bungee cords may prove fatal to the rider(and pillion , if present). Also it has to be kept in mind that the handling of the bike should not be compromised while loading the bike. Modern day saddle bags/tank bags and panniers/basket are very helpful in increasing the overall luggage carrying capacity on the respective bikes. At the same time , it eases the rider from carrying it on his back and also keeps them safe. Packing your luggage into inside those panniers/bags is a different art altogether.

Key aspects to be looked into while loading the saddle:
*Load should be equally distributed in case of saddle bags or side panniers for better handling.
*If using a top case make sure the cantilever is not so long that the case hangs out of the bike.
*If using a backpack for travel, tie it to the back of the bike using bungee chords. Carrying a backpack on you for a long time is stressful and not recommended. At the same time carry spare spare bungee chords , just in case the one in use snaps.
*Make sure that the top case and panniers are properly fastened/locked.
*Keep in mind the ability/Power of your vehicle to carry the laden luggage.
*It is recommended to carry luggage which have a good number of outer pockets, it provide easy access to stuff like Phone/Maps/Water bottle etc etc, so that you dont have to open the complete baggage to find the necessary stuff
*Make sure that your luggage doesn't come in contact with the rotating wheel/ Silencer at any instant. This is more common in bikes with mono-shocks or swept silencers
*Travelling light is always recommended.
