Quick Meets at Bangalore

pganapathy · 12th October 2012, 23:33

10 pm seems to be a good sounding time for us to meet. The traffic will be minimal, everyone will have time for dinner at home and we can drive peacefully. My only concern is whether there will be enough space just short and left of the hanging bridge for 10 to 15 cars to park off and for us to meet before taking off on the drive.Also, if someone could coordinate and get everybody's phone numbers and then pass them out to everybody so that people don't get lost, it will be good.

I would be able to join if we are starting post 7 pm . What time are we planning to return?
I stay near drdo and old madras road is around 5 km .

BulZire · 13th October 2012, 10:55

Can we plan a mini grouping in between for the guys driving from south Bangalore like EC,HSR,BTM,Jayanagar,Koramangala ?

I would be driving from EC.

Yes it would be better to meet after coming down from the KR Puram bridge just next to the ITI general hospital. There is ample space on the service road to park the vehicles. So we are meeting at this spot at 10PM, right?

Climb over the hangling bridge and while inclining the bridge, you will see a service road which is free from traffic. You people can peacefully wait for others to join.

Edit: sorry "nileshch" already suggested before me posting

KarthikK · 13th October 2012, 11:16

Sounds good. 10PM at the place Nilesh mentioned. Even I don't know where exactly this service road place is, since I am not too familiar with KR puram area and its intricacies (I just pass through it)

The route I'll be taking is Koramangala - Domlur IRR - straight till the dead end which joins Old Madras road, enter right into OMR and pass along KR Puram junction (Phoenix mall side)

I'm put up at Jayanagar 9th block. Anyone else joining from here? The BG road guys can probably meet up at Jayadeva hospital gate, from where we can go together. HSR layout guys can go along Marathahalli ORR and join KR Puram.

Updated list after RAC and Tatkal bookings :

IronH4wk - H4wkmobile (tentative)
KarthikK - Linea
Schoudhury - Ritz
Aviorp - Scorpio
BulZire - Linea
vik0728 - Getz
sujithpnair - ???
pganapathy - alto
tckanth - Beat
arun_josie - Swift Dzire
asdon - Punto
guyfrmblr - i20
Mustsekhon - Vitara
PrideRed - ???
Nileshch - Vento

P.S - could someone post the exact meeting point on google maps? I'll set the coordinates on my GPS to avoid getting confused

pganapathy · 13th October 2012, 11:29

Sorry, but just meant to ask something. Is it possible for some of us to go as passengers in others cars. I ask because I would love to have company on the drive. It can be either way for me. Pick up a passenger or go in somebody else's car as I live about a 20 to 30 minute walk away from the hanging bridge (Sadanandnagar).

Anyone willing to have me as passenger or wanting to come with me please PM me and we can sort it out.

No, please take the hanging bridge. Once you go down, immediately after the bridge ends, there is a service road on the left.

If you are crossing Mantri Residency, then we can meet there. Any idea how much time will it take to KR Puram?
