Gave this thread a 5 star Shrivz. Thats the way to go. Shouldn't let people get over memories of their first drive before the next one's organized.

Bombay boys, those who don't know what Lavasa terrain is to drive like, see these threads:

LAVASA 1
LAVASA 2
LAVASA 3

Hi Swapnil, this one will take some effort from the Bombay section of team-bhpians in the form of getting up on time. You guys will need to atleast set off by 7:00 am from Bombay and reach by 9:00 am latest. After 9:00 am there is some traffic we'll encounter to reach the lovely stretch of roads leading to Lavasa which are absolutely traffic free for 30 kms.

Viper did a run from Dadar to the meeting point in 1 hour flat! But he left at 6:30 am for that. I am sure most of you can sacrifice one Sunday morning sleep for this one. It is worth it. Once you guys reach here it is very easy to get to Lavasa (roughly about 38 - 40 kms) and a breeze filled with lovely (pothole and traffic free roads).

Let us know what more info you need. Will love to coordinate.

Instead of coming to Chandni chowk all the way, isnt there a shorter route to lavasa for the mumbai boys? like a talegaon or a vadgaon exit and then to lavasa?

Rtech · 30th October 2007, 16:47

Note to self: Must attend meet on 11th.

2nd Note to self: Must get new tyres first!

Dayyuummm.. I will be in my home town for Diwali from 8th & will return on 15th :(

No Scooby sir, there is no alternative. As a matter of fact you guys do not need to enter Pune city at all. The meeting point is on a 4 lane section of the Golden Quadrilateral and well outside Pune city limits. And about 18 kms from the end of expressway on this stretch of Bangalore highway. I am sure you guys wouldn't need directions when Jiggy and V-16 know the meeting place.

You have no choice. You can't say "Can't make it!" Sorry. Or else you will see some alcohol bottles visible in your car that your parents will spot.

Guys we do not mind making this a family affair where in you can bring along wive(s), sisters, girlfriend(s), brothers, uncles, aunty's, mothers, fathers, grandfathers, in laws, etc.

Lets make this a big one!

Jigness, let us stick to the dates. Look at Scooby. He called up all his sisters and postponed lunch to dinner. I am sure you can do that as well? You guys will be back in Bombay by 5 pm at the most. Common now!
