I think I might join this meet! But the thing is I won't be able to join at the starting point at 7:30 AM. I will join en route Shamirpet if some one can tell me the route to be taken and also a contact no. so that I can call and know where exactly the group is. I will be coming from ECIL.

Help

[sparsh]

Here are the actual snaps of the outing. I attached the wrong versions of the snaps. As usual it was a great experience meeting you all. Three cheers to the teambhp community.

We will be taking the normal route of Kharkhana-> Tirumulgherry-> Alwal-> Bolarum-> Shamirpet.

Final stop would be on the rocks near the lake behind the temple on main road.

I sent you a PM with my contact info

Ani, it would be great if you can join up. After all meets without you is bland. We need someone who can quickly google and give us all technical knowledge....Jokes apart, it would be awesome if you join up but, not on your bicycle.

Join in as a pillion and be the official photographer/video taker. If no, atleast come for breakfast.

Yeah, it would be great to have Ani as someone's pillion and he can take the pics of others riding.

Here are the positions for the ride:

1. Avinash and Ram would be the heads of the ride, leading the ride group.
2. Shyamal, being well aware about all aspects of a group formation/group ride shall take the most important position of being a Sweep.
3. Travelholic shall either be ahead of the head or behind the sweep capturing pics and shall change positions based on the requirement/need of the day.

Some important points:

1. Always follow the leader
2. Always ride in a formation
3. No overspeeding
4. No hazardous over takings
5. Every one rides as a team
6. No panic braking
7. Pillion riders can handle the camera's and take pics of the ride

Our sole aim is to have our maiden ride meet, ride safe and have a blast with our rides. Happy Biking

Looking at the above/below post I have 3 options...

Option 1 - If I do not want to be inside the formation - I will head out on the Highway meet you folks at the lake and join back on the ride....
Option 2 - If I have to remain inside the formation I might as well get my +1
Option 3 - I will get my Activa - give company to Sparsh

Chetan Anna, why this kolaveri di? The main reason I am stressing much on riding in a formation is to ensure that everyone rides together and rides safe. You get your Kawasaki Ninja and not your Activa. Ninja needs to stretch its muscles a bit now, especially after the Run-in period.

Option 1 to Option 3 have been dismissed and cannot be re-appealed to anywhere. Case Dismissed and Closed without an option of re-appeal. We ride, We Enjoy, We Have Fun.... it is WE.

Aaah!!! I am back to having TP here too. Time to get back to implementation of a very important project I am working on S.L.E.E.P. (Software for Learning Emerging and Enhanced Procedures)

[mashmash]

The rider sweeping should ideally be the fastest rider of the group. Just in case he needs to catch up with the group/leaders for some reason as soon as possible. This has been proved useful in two of my past group rides in Delhi and Bangalore. Sweeper should also have every rider's mobile number and the leader's number as speed dial, in case the group needs to be stopped.
