Hello All,

For today's meet, we met at High Court Jn., spent some time chatting and then moved to the new route from Vallarpadom to Kalamassery.

It took us some time to reach the highway since there was heavy traffic. After we reached the highway, we found a place, parked the cars and spent almost 1 hr talking and discussing.

Met Rajesh (vdi) for the first time. Rajesh, it was really nice meeting you. Hope to meet you for more TBHP meets.

We had to wind up early since it started raining heavily. By the time I reached home the road to my house was flooded with water.

I believe every one liked the route. Rajesh, how did you find the road to Edapally?

Hope to meet you guys soon.

Thanks,
Jose.

Now the pics:

Hi guys,

I missed :( In fact, I was totally tied up with other engagements. Also that the downpour was a bit too heavy last evening !!

Hope to meet you the next time.

naveen.raju · 27th September 2010, 11:06

Thanks guys for making it for the meet. Rajesh, nice meeting you after a very long time.
Special thanks to Jose for suggesting this wonderful spot although we had a tough time convincing the guard at the entrance.
Perfect spot for long drives and quick chats.
Let's hope we can have more meets in the future here with more bhpians.

Thanks a lot guys.

Cheers.!

PS - Bimal, missed you man.! hope you would make it for the next meet.

yzfrj · 27th September 2010, 16:02

Aha...!
Some actions. That is good.

Wish I was there, you home town dwellers
Would have been a nice break from the maddening heat here.

I Hope to be there with the Vtec next time (in Dec I guess). Hopefully all stock.

Where is this new road ?
How does it hit Kalamassery, there are couple of railway crossing if its the way I think it goes.

Ya buddy. You guys missed this.
This is a new road from Vallarpadom towards Kalamessery. Not officially open, but we managed to sneak in

.

Bring your vtec, tat would be cool. Let us know the date and we shall plan the meet.

TC Mate.
Cheers.!

govigov · 27th September 2010, 17:49

where does this road start near high court? is it that instead of a left to goshree bridges, you go straight?

vdi · 27th September 2010, 18:23

Guys, sorry for the late reply. Saw the snaps in the morning itself but couldn't reply. It was great meeting you Vaisakh and Jose and ofcourse Naveen after a loooong time. Hopefully we would have more people in our next meet.

Regarding the road, its not complete and they have blocked it[the work is still going on] after 5 or 6 kms from the point where I started and took a right turn and someone told me that Edappally is 5 kms from that point. I have lost the way twice as it was raining heavily and somehow managed to reach NH17. A great road for 'learners' till they open it for public.

govigov,

Jose or Naveen would be able to tell you exact point as I just followed them.

josejoseph · 28th September 2010, 09:16

Rajesh, I have no idea why the road is blocked. Earlier when I had tried this road I had no problem in reaching NH17.

govigov, this road starts after climbing down the first Goshree bridge and taking the right turn. To go to Bolgatty Palace, we have to take left and to enter this road it's right turn.

Riju, this road goes straight to NH17. From there if we cut straight, it reaches Apollo Tires junc., Kalamassery.

Bimal, we missed you and your Baleno. You could have shown us your driving skills as the roads we nearly empty.

As Rajesh said, this is a great road for learners as well as drags.

Next time if we are considering this as our next meeting point, we should find some place to sit and have coffee.

Thanks,
Jose.

govigov · 30th September 2010, 02:47

thanks jose, planning to take that route this weekend. i shall let all know how it goes.

Crazy biker, you are right. I was in TVM last weekend. My bro was showing me around the places. I saw Car Palace, but don't know the location.

We should have met.

Thanks,
Jose.

Hello All,

We had a quick meet today. Ranjith (NuttyNair) is in Cochin and he called us up. My self, Naveen, Bimal (Firestorm) & Ranjith met at Panampilly Nagar, near Avenue Center in the evening.

Sorry no pics though. Since the meet was planned in a haste, did not have a camera.

Hope to have many more meets like this. And expecting more members to drop in.

Thanks,
Jose.
