Karthikk-count me in. Will be my first Tbhp meet participation. Look forward to meeting all of you.

Yeah, that was quite a trip. We planned to ride to Kanva which did not happen (yet to happen till date too ) and instead we ended up in Ooty (for a cup of coffee which i was craving for).

Here is the trip log. I will never forget this ride. One of the most adventurous and memorable rides I've ever had in my life.

Yeah, we need to be there before the Sunday crowd madness starts

CD, you can test the Punto's (with RD box) behavior during off-roading situations on the dried up lake bed. Think about it.

Nice little log of an unplanned trip there Aditya! Can't believe it was 3 years back unless one looks at the timestamps on the posts. How time flies! Your ninja still looks brand new even today.

Karthik,
Do include me as tentative. I'll be on my Bullet 500 (Greyhound)

Here's a rough idea of the plan:

6.15 AM - group meet-and-greet session while we wait for everyone to arrive at the NICE exit of Mysore road (in the direction towards Mysore).

6.40 AM - group will depart from the meeting spot. There is an IndianOil bunk at this spot, but not sure if it will be open at that early hour. Latecomers can join the group directly at the idli stalls, or directly at Kanva.

~7.30 AM - breakfast at Bidadi Thatte idli joint. I have one particular shop whom I visit frequently during my breakfast drives, so we can head there for a small stop.

~8.15 AM - proceed towards Kanva. The Kanva dam deviation is to your right, around 5 km after we cross Ramanagara town, just after Kamat Lokaruchi and Janapada Loka. From the point where we turn off Mysore road, Kanva dam is around 12-13 km away and on a narrow single lane road. All vehicles can be taken all the way to the waterfront via a small shortcut pathway. This can be the main photoshoot destination too. All vehicles can make it through this off-road path, including even a Honda Civic! I can lead the way to get to this place, since I have been here earlier.

~10-10.30 AM - after the photoshoot and the meet is done with, everyone can get back to Mysore road and head homewards for your respective Sunday plans, uninterrupted .

It's happening this weekend - Sunday morning! See if you can take out 5-6 hours of your time from morning 6am to noon or so. Many are joining (as much as 20 members), and we would love to see more. Please do join. If can't, no worries, we should plan one more next month

Aahh! My stupid autocorrect on the phone has put up crazy words in my previous post! From next time I will make sure I will proof read it once.

Coming to the meet- I would have loved to join. But I will be going to Ooty on Friday night itself. :( hope I can join the next time we plan something-so eager to meet the bhpians.
