Re: Quick Meets at Bangalore

Good initiative Don Dasco. I wish I could join, but due to Navratri/ Durga Puja, its not going to work for me.
Can we have the next one which you mentioned in Oct month, during the long weekend of 1-3 Nov?

Re: Quick Meets at Bangalore

Bangalore - Horsley hills - Bangalore drive report

Myself and Ashwin reached the 'hello' start point at 6:25 am in our Seltos, while ROG_AK was waiting in his blue Baleno RS.
other 2 cars were reported late, I was not keen on waiting as any delay here would affect the breakfast timings, I asked the late comers to join us directly at the hills.

We started the drive at sharp 6:30 am as planned, we decided to take Gownipalli route, we maintained the speeds between 60 to 80kmph, this particular highway is filled with speedbreakers and you'll understand why.

After ~20kms from Chintamani take left from the highways, villages will greet with broken roads which limits the speed to 40 to 50kmph for the next 25kms, after that till Horsley hills a scenic route with few lakes and hills welcomes you which feels great & refreshed.

Take right to start the climb of hill, it's 9kms to the top,
ROG_AK's Baleno RS was eager to strech the muscles, he dissapeared leaving us in dust, Seltos had to deal with the curves between 2nd, 3rd gears & an occasional 4th, reached top and started for breakfast after brief introductions and chit chats at Haritha restaurant at 9:30 am.

Post breakfast, we ventured to the view point along with our cars, spent around an hour time and started back to Bangalore, the other 2 cars who started late went to Madanapalli for lunch and we planned to catch up for dinner at my place.

ROG_AK and I exchanged our cars on the highway, Baleno RS was breeze to drive with great balanced suspension.

Stopped enroute for tender coconut near Chintamani and parted our ways beacuse of our different plans.

Some pics of the drive.

Few pics enroute.

It was indeed a great drive! Horsley Hills is a hidden gem, it was quiet and peaceful without too much of a crowd The road is pretty good except for a few sections.

It was insightful to get to know the experience with the Seltos from a couple of owners. I finally got to drive the petrol NA Seltos for close to a 100km and got a good understanding of the car. The key takeaway was the suspension, it handled the broken roads with ease.

A few pics of the view
