The nearest place for decent Hotels is Kushalnagar, 23km from Somwarpet.Expect high prices as it is a weekend & it is COORG !!!

Does anybody have an idea what time the event starts? and where do we meet up in Somwarpet?

Samurai · 18th August 2010, 11:09

I think it is 8AM at the Tennis Club.

Just came back. It was mind blowing, eventhough most of us missed the final stage.

Super duper fun and a slight drizzle turned the track to SS. Wifee's first OTR and she loved it, super weather, superb trail and awesome company. Ahh! this is what offroading is all about!!

This event was good fun. Quite tough for a change. Did complete the route.Met up with a lot of old friend who i had not seen for couple of years. Hope to see the club come up with some serious off roadin events in the future.

The Somvarpet event TV report will be telecast today at 3:10PM on Samaya 24x7 Kannada Channel. What kind of timing is that...

I don't see the channel on Tatasky.

It may be this too: http://www.yupptv.com/suvarna_news_live.html (Internet TV)

Not very sure whether it is Suvarna or Samaya.
