Thanks KarthikK, for including my name.
So, where is the meet point? How about BG Road-NICE Road junction, for people coming from south bangalore?

[silversteed]

Pulling out of this one. Had already planned another trip over this weekend, long long time ago :(

Mea culpa, I assumed that the date was Oct 5th.

I am IN for this point. I will be coming from BTM Lake road and would be at this point by around 6 AM. Post this, we could meet others at Mysore Road - NICE road junction at 6:15 AM. May be we could snap some early morning traffic-free pictures of our ride, on NICE road.

OT:: Just checking, will the Shell Petrol Pump on BG road, be open around that time ? Else, I will refill at some stupid IOC/BP/IO pump for some minor amount, enough to make the trip. I am a Shell Loyalist.

Sub-meets are independent of the main meet at the mysore road exit . Just make sure you guys are reaching the main point in time after the empty road pics, haha.

Most shell outlets open only at 7 AM, some open at 8 AM. You'll have to fill up elsewhere. Brave enough to try WWII bunk?

Why don't we south Bangaloreans decide on a time and place (Gottigere Shell? BG-Nice Jn?), then proceed in a convoy to the Mysore Road - Nice road junction previously designated by KarthikK?

I will be taking the NICE road from this stretch too. Staying very close to Hulimavu! We can storm onto NICE road together - as I know 3-4 of us are on the same route How about 6am at NICE entry point on BG Road?

I am not sure about the Shell pump opening before 6am and hence suggest to top up a night before. Or pay a visit to Meenakshi Mall on saturday evening and extend the trip to top up

Where do you stay? I am mostly likely driving with my 7 year old but have enough space for you if you are somewhere close - precisely between shoppers stop to Nice road stretch of BG Road. Do PM me if that is a possibility.

From our past meets, usually what happens with sub-meets is in the area's subgroup, if 1 person is late the others end up waiting and getting delayed, plus the main group from elsewhere will also end up waiting more. What we south b'lore guys could do is wait till say 6.05-6.10 at the NICE entry point and then carry on.

Thank you for asking.

Looking forward to meeting you all. My first meet!

Won't that be too late? We're supposed to depart the Mysore Road - NICE road junction at 6:40 am as mentioned by you in post # 4883.

[sumathindra]

Being in this forum since 4 years now, I guess this should be my first meet . Count me as "tentative", will confirm after consulting the "home minister" if there are no specific plans laid out for the Sunday!

Eager to meet the folks who's identity till now have been "handle names"

Let's make it 5.45 at Bannerghatta road NICE entry just after paying the toll and before taking the U-turn into the main expressway road

Here is the best option - People joining at BG Road - NICE Road junction - Please be present by 6:00 AM Max.
If you arrive beyond 6 AM, kindly directly proceed to meet everyone at NICE Road - Mysore Road exit.

And like Karthik says - Finish up Toll Payment and all other "rest" activities.
