hi 9tmax, you are always welcome

we can ensure your safety by sandwiching you between two cars.

So far two guys are planning it to make it a family meet/drive. I would like to inform you majority of the guys/men here are married, so I think many would like to bring along their family I guess.

What do you all say??

Max

Families more than welcome mate. Let them also share the passion and the adrenaline of T-BHP since your kids would anyways be future T-BHPians

!

Mobile008 - I may not coming in my Zen but rather in Rajesh's (My colleague who had joined us @ NS Meet) Automatic Santro (But that decision is still pending).He is still getting used to the forum and i think he will be putting up a post shortly once he gets his ID created. But do take a headcount of 3 from my side (Me + Wife + Rajesh).

So, Raj! what have you finalized? What about the destination? I have checked the 'gulagula' earth and found no particular way to the specified lake.

rider60 · 1st July 2008, 01:56

hey raj man put up the pictures mate the last sunday meet drive has to show at least the wild life photography, and please think of the schedule soon and post it, it its exploration and the country side, then you and i both know what time we need to leave at.

and guys dont forget the following:

1. Basic TOOLS,
2. Spare tyre in a good condition i mean checked for air pressure
3. Water (& food if possible), lots of it as we may not find any at places like this
4. puncture repair kits, inflaters and jack
5. CAMERAS AND BATTERIES(dont forget the charging)
6. It might just rain so be prepared for that!
7.Trekking gear if you wish to. BUT i recommend people to wear shoes and not slip ons or the kinds for the trip may need it.
8. Last thing i recall is the FUEL, the chittoor, nellore and kadapa dist's fuel tankers are on strike so finding fuel was difficult for my uncle last saturday when he came to Hyderabad. so i suggest people to tank up for any unforseen strikes.

ooh ooh last thing man some one get me some HIP-HOPS and trance CDS if you can please.

thats all people lets enjoy!

yaser_cyclist · 1st July 2008, 07:14

This is Yaser.

Probably only Raj and Ravi know me here from Xbhp. Never been to a Tbhp meet except for one short meet at the necklace road mmts parking lot.

At the moment I do not have a car and I so wish to coming for the meet. But U know m married with two lill kids and my saturdays and sundays are booked for the family. Now that I see some people might come here along with their families, I can think about it too but someone will have to car pool me. Would be almost impossible to get wife n the lill one(he is just into his 5th month) but probably can try to get the elder one since we plan to b back my 4pm or thereabouts. Will have to check with his DAADI if she would allow. Cannot confirm anything at the moment, will need a day or two for this.

By the way, anyone near Vijaynagar colony who can pick me or I join them?

Yaser

Nice Pictures Raj....I'm assuming that we should see more clouds than the sun (hopefully). Do you have any pictures of the restaurant? I mean should we be carrying sufficient food? You know it is the season of water borne diseases and one cant be too careful about eating outside food. But we should be fine if there is a decent joint to eat at (Guys remember Rangeela Dhaba with the Yoga and Internet Chicken!)

Agree with you on this!

NO MORE POSTPONEMENT!!!

Guys...It always happens that someone or the other cant make it to one the meets, but dont worry there's always another one just around the corner! So even if you miss one, we can always have another one in a couple of months.

I will be putting up the weather report in a few days so that we know what the weather would be like.

Cheers.

himanshugoswami · 1st July 2008, 11:14

hmmmm.....this place looks interesting, but I am wondering if this would be the appropriate place for family. if it starts raining, we would be driving thru slush, and dont want to take riskswith family. I may just come alsone....lets see..

rohits · 1st July 2008, 11:52
