Hyderabad August 2008 meet.

kkr2k2 · 10th July 2008, 14:15

Hi fellows, lets continue the monsoon show...

Things once finalised will be put up here.

For now pour in your ideas here.

I propose, ANANTHAGIRI HILLS near Vikarabad.

hillram · 10th July 2008, 14:45

Im with you Raj...Anantgiri Hills is good.
so u have unofficially taken over as the "meet coordinator"...

mobike008 · 10th July 2008, 15:15

Been to Ananthgiri Hills several times, there is nothing to do and the drive is too short ( 65kms).

If some other ( preferably longer) destination, i am in. otherwise, i am out!

ravi@64bhp · 10th July 2008, 15:37

Ananthagiri? It is a routine word for me. Yet, everytime I feel excited, love to ride to this place. Make sure we visit a small dam nearby (16 km further).

kkr2k2 · 10th July 2008, 15:43

Ravi i was about to call you.
Please put up the pics you took recently and also chalk out a plan, later we can decide for it or against it.

hillram · 10th July 2008, 16:05

Raj...ur the man..your proactiveness is too good.

mobike008 · 10th July 2008, 16:38

Raj and Me conferred offline and are contemplating a different route, a path that we hyd tbhpian's never treaded.

What transpired of our conversation was, why not do a straight beautiful highway drive up to 100km on Nizambad highway ( one of the smoothest highway ) and rest for lunch in a dabha enroute or even beyond 100kms ( we don't mind another 20-25kms for good food...do we?)

Let's see where this plan goes!!!

kutlee · 10th July 2008, 16:41

Raj, no dates??
Anathagiri route is repeating. Any other google map locations??

hillram · 10th July 2008, 16:46

Im open for any drive,where we can get back to Hyd by late evening...i think all drives are planned this way?

Awesome to know your outright confirmation. Your right, all drives are planned in such a way, we leave early and return back home the same evening ( however late).

We are yet to evolve for those over-nighters

Check out those Kochi Monsoon Drive- thats from where I derived my strength to say about an over nite extended stay and drive. After reading them- feel there is still more room for our fun

theodore_ftw · 10th July 2008, 20:14

I'm in for an overnite plan....Somehow the 'same day drive-return magic' doesnt work too often for me.

mobike008 · 10th July 2008, 20:26

Arrey Bhaiyya, when did i say, i am not ready for an overnighter.

Its just that we need substantial numbers to make it happen. If we get those numbers ( say 6-8 couples, additional singles) then wow, it would be awesome fun.

rider60 · 10th July 2008, 21:00

over night drive is not a very good idea at a time like this when there is shortage of fuel outside the city! so a good say 250-300kms to and fro drive should be planned imo!

himanshugoswami · 11th July 2008, 10:07

Guys, Ananthagiri is hardly a drive....by the time you get into the groove, you are there!

Lets do something a bit longer...

Also, I am in only for the last weekend of August....am overseas 2nd and third week.
