Appreciate your thoughts, but few things..
There are certain things we tend to keep it old fashioned, is the participant should be a registered member of Xbhp.
If I'm not wrong, there are many FB pages and discussions scattering around about this meet might not bring in consensus.
Well, I will have ask you to paste this thread's link on FB, so they can take a look at the discussion and register.

Let us know if you need any details, assistance that helps to spread the word around.

Good to see you vote and definitely looking forward to seeing some representation from AP/TS gang this year.

I second whatever Sri just said, old fashioned as it may be we need to stick to the forum so that we are concentrating our energies on actual members. Since FB tends to bring some unwanted 'fluff' which has an adverse effect on group riding dynamics and this has been seen in the past as well. Being a registered member, we can hope that all our fellow riders at least have some sort of group riding skills or are at the least aware of something called group riding

@SriramEfunds , @Praful I totally agree with what you say. Let me pass on the word to the few riders i know from around here in Hyderabad..some of em are not xbhp members and some are inactive on the forum but are on fb xbhp Hyderabad group. I for one exist only on this forum and not on fb.
I will leave the planning to you guys and follow this thread for updates and pass on the info to my buddies as it flows in.

Wow, Good to know that ISG is back. I miserably missed the last one and ever since then I made it a point to surley make it to next one. This time the dates seems feasabile for me to attend the ride.

I'm really excited and voted for the majority.

Have made recce rides to few places who have the infrastructure to accommodate the capacity we generally have. Talks are underway for few more places. If the talks are successful we might have to make one or two visits for ground reality. Will keep you posted if anything comes up.

Tanay most likely somewhere around Madikeri, which would be favorable location for most cities.
