No sir. No superbikes. Just some puny 250cc bikes. JVH's monster is the only superbike i know of thats coming for this ride.

Just checked my trusted weather sites, and its gonna be a nice dry morning ride. No rains predicted.

[KarthikK]

@BG road guys, What route are you planning to take to Hebbal from BG road? in other words which side of the flyover do you want me to wait at?

Below underpass in front of Jayadeva hospital gate? Or In front of old Jaguar Land Rover showroom near East End bus stop?

EDIT : Decided on my ride

Good question Karthik. I was also thinking of the same. Since we will all be going straight. I would suggest the next meeting point to be after the Jayadeva flyover, near the hospital gate.

This is just before the signal

Sure. I'll meet you right in front of Big Bazaar at 5 AM?

@Karthik: We finally get to see your Jet

[KarthikK]

An offbeat question for saturday's riders/drivers : Aditya mentioned the meeting time at Hebbal as 5.30am. Till what time do you guys usually give grace time for everyone to catch up at Hebbal? You wait till 5.45 or 6 or something like that?

To add to dreamcatcher's suggestion, What would the full route be?

option 1 = Straight from Jayadeva (underpass) to Sagar Apollo and then along J'nagar 4th block complex -> South End -> JC road -> Mysore bank -> palace road -> golf course -> Mekhri circle -> Hebbal

option 2 = continue along BG road along marble factory -> left at St. patrick's cemetery deadend -> along vellara junction -> St. marks road -> Chinnaswamy stadium -> ???

I am not familiar with option 2. Just asking for the route in case I miss you guys in between

No return time planned. May be you can leave a bit early so that you can attend b'day.

@karthikk - Option 2 is what we usually take as there are not many curves till hebbal flyover.

[thedreamcatcher]

As stated by Brraj, we always (generally) take option 2, as it is faster at that time in the morning

Listing down the general meeting junctions below

Apollo Hospital> Mantri Elite > Jayadeva Gate> Marble Factory then Join Hosur Road> Go along straight till St Stephens School and then go along the left, then right> Left from Koshys Restaurant > Stadium - Continue straight down > Right from the Planetarium Signal > Continue aloong KGA golf road> Mekrhi Circle> Hebbal Flyover> Columbia Asia (The service lane opposite the hospital)

Thanks for that both of you! I will tail you guys tomorrow and avoid missing the cars. I am not too familiar with that route beyond Koshy's

I'll take care of that. Not super high resolution but will do the job.

Option 2 it is. Faster route early in the morning.

I'll also try to keep up with all these fast cars. But anyway, luckily I know the route.
BTW, are we going to stop at the base of the hill to regroup like last time we did? Or may be at the diversion from NH-7 to Nandi Hills?

+1 man, all exotic vehicles on display . All the more motivation to participate in this meet. I will get my DSLR for the pics

Cool then. The jet is in the running in period. I don't have the mind to rip it so early (300km age) Plus I am lost from Vellara Jn. to Mekhri circle so you guys have gotta wait for me everywhere Traffic will be minimal in the morning I guess, shouldn't pose a big problem

BTW, are we going to stop at the base of the hill to regroup like last time we did? Or may be at the diversion from NH-7 to Nandi Hills?

Good idea actually. Another excuse for a photoshoot at the base, eh?

Btw, I went to Nandi last saturday morning on my bike and there was no queue for the tickets. Looks like the ticket queue is horrendous on sundays but saturdays are relatively free.

[Speed Pujari]

Sorry guys but still I am not getting a clue where you guys are going.
My guesses are - Shivanasamudra, talakadu, airport, nandi hills, Manyata (wats this?)..
Any help would be highly appreciated.

[brraj]

@speed pujari - Its nandi hills.
