It was awesome to meet so many BHPians yesterday along with their rides, and though I doubt I will remember the names and faces of everyone I met (masks didn't help in many cases), the fact that so many people came was just great!

The sheer variety of vehicles was truly incredible, and for such a large group, everything was extremely well organized - kudos to BHPians Samba, Shomshree, Sayata and others who helped to organize and conduct the meet and the eat - the breakfast selection was rocking too! Here are a few pics I took:

Our rendezvous point


So many different rides in one place!


Thankfully there was enough space to park all the cars


Getting ready to go for breakfast


Waiting for the food to come


Thanks to Samba again for the the follow up session with the Kolkata Offroaders. It was a new experience for my better half and me, and I definitely caught the offroading bug! Here are some of the pics I took from the offroading session.

Quite a few of us headed to the offroading venue near Pandua


The oldest and the youngest offroader. The elderly gentleman is none other than the legendary Mr. Uday Bhan Singh.


Briefing before the event


Every attempt was closely monitored and directed so that nothing would go wrong


There was an audience as well


Water, brush, sand, mud, steep inclines - you name it, the terrain had it.


Touching the sky


This mud pit was one of the toughest challenges


It was a Sunday really well spent with a lot of like minded people and their mean machines. Looking forward to more such meets!

I missed the meet this time due to some work.
Will definitely meet all of you at the next meet in Kolkata.

Few Bhpians attended an OTR for the 1st time on this friendship day. Hope they had a fun-filled experience!

A monsoon meet turning into a summer meet and how!
Isn't that a midsummer's nightmare

Amazing meetup. I have never witnessed a bigger and hotter(by the degree) meet ever.
Kudos to the organizers for pulling this off. Met old faces(behind masks) and made new friends.
The heat got the better of me - Didn't attend the OTR session. But going by the photos I definitely missed out on a lot of fun.

Thanks Neversaygbye for the photo

Oh it was great catching catching up with like minded folks after a long (in fact a really long) time ! I was so engrossed in meeting everyone that I could not manage to take any pictures of the meet

As mentioned by BlackPearl, sincerely hope that from next time onwards we find a different location for the meet as the venue was overcrowded.

However, the off-road session (as proposed) was even more enthralling and was the icing on the cake on a hot summer day. Sharing some pictures that I managed to capture of the same :



















































Some clicks of my Age Old Endeavour (aka Bagheera) in action as well :










It was a matter of honour and pride for me to be presented with a memorabilia and get recognized by Sir Uday Bhan Singh as one of the few who could take this Sport ahead by keeping the essence right ! I was completely not prepared for this, but as they say, if it has to come your way, it will and it does ! May the 4's be with us always

I was an awesome experience in Bagheera going through the trail, being my first proper offroading experience it has changed my perception on the 4wd capabilities and the joys of owning one thanks a lot for that

Coordinating 40 cars means 40 different sets of individuals, mighty task! The multitude of cars and fabulous pictures - Great meetup guys! Hope everyone were aware and maintained the covid protocols as well. Fantastic meetup!
