Hi hyderabad bhpians, somehow missed out on this thread.

My introduction is at http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/introd...813-intro.html

I have already made my plans for this sunday. I will not miss the next meet.

Enjoy the drive.

Makkhan as just out of the fridge or as on a hot frying pan?

Are we going to do some off-roading also as shown in ravi's snaps? Do we have proper roads all thru-out the route or not? As himanshu has also mentioned such terrain may not be very enjoyable if it rains.
And what about food? Raj's 1st post says that we are going to have food on the way, but rider60's checklist says u should carry food also!

Let's have the whole final plan with road condition.

ravi@64bhp · 1st July 2008, 21:22

All, no need to worry about the road. The roads are pretty much good all the way. The place where we were walking, it is not at all car-friendly and it is just .75 km. So, no worry about the drive in slush road.

I have relly enjoyed driving Yash Raj's Swift D all through the villages. I have even frequently touched 100 kmph at many times.

mobike008 · 1st July 2008, 22:01

Good Update Ravi. I think that should put rest to all road related queries. IMO, being a tbhpian's we shouldn't be worried about it in the first place, its not as if we venturing into the amazon forests or something

Also, let's not worry about food. No need to carry any. We can find some Dhaba during our return and have our lunch there. Feel free to carry snacks for that hunger pangs during the drive.

romyeo4u · 1st July 2008, 22:54

won't be able to make it up , going to Talakona and Horsley Hills July 4,5,6

mobike008 · 2nd July 2008, 10:59

Folks, please post only " Positive" reponses on this thread. Let's not jack up the number of posts of this thread with bunch of negatives. If you cannot make it, that's fine and you can PM me or Raj of the reason but not here, as it is a huge dampener.

Sorry, i missed outlining this guideline in my PM or original post by KKRk2.

Come to think of it, it should be made an un-written rule.

Hi Guys,

i explained my cousins about the meet. They are enthusiastic about the meet. So we may either come in two cars (Palio an Swift) or a Scorpio.

I am sure with my family.

One thing I couldnt explain my cousins.

Agenda.

I think many would want to know clear agenda, with expected timings.

Hi,

OMG OMG, whats the total? somebody do the math!
I better inform the restaurant folks to be prepared!

I am planning to go to the place once again(i better do that) to look out for place for lunch!!

There is a place known as swagth restaurant after ibrahimpatnam, but i figured it be good for veg food.

All those who did sagar trips before, please suggest some decent place where we can have good food, though we can keep swagth as backup.

raj.
