2011! A new year, a new season!

Many of us will have gotten new offroaders. New members have joined the off roading bandwagon!

EXAMM 2 promises to be bigger and better!

Let's kick off this season with a biggie: The 2011 Republic day OTR. The last biggie was the 2010 Independence Day OTR which was absolutely amazing.

I have already indicated interest but I just got back from Bangalore and the distance is daunting. Terribly bored of NH4 as well...but if we go as a group I might be interested.

One day guru, just wait for it... One day we jeepers will get a faster vehicle and say, "10 hours by jeep, slower in a gypsy!" Mark my words!

Guys keep this thread for Mumbai/Pune OTR only.

I am sure ONLY few of us will show interest for Banglore OTR and someone will backout last minute and leave for GOA.

so lets plan something big for Mumbai\Pune boys and kick start the new year with a big one.

can some one put a Poll for follwing dates??

22nd Sunday
26th Wed
30th Sun

Venue

Lonavala
Mahpe
Igatpuri
some place else??

Please share your ideas, lets plan a reccee in coming weekend.

For Reccee we will restrict the car numbers to 3-4 max.

Cheers
Devang

Completely agree with Prasad, no more lonavala please. Instead we can explore Mahape much more, what say?

Trouble with Mahabaleshwar:

1. Too far
2. Too crowded
3. Fanatic locals who act like they own the place

Anyway I think we can look at having 3 groups of 3-4 vehicles each to recce three different areas.
