Bangalore: TBHP drive to Yelagiri in December 2008! Kindly post confirmations here!

mclaren1885 · 12th November 2008, 08:19

This could perhaps be the last drive in this calendar year. So lets make it big.

Yelagiri, is a nice place. Awesome roads to drive, a nice ghat section, pretty decent place to find food, chill out and get to know other BHPians and their rides.

This trip has been done before, twice actually. And I am sure most members including those from Chennai would love to join in as well. So lets roll out the numbers.

For those who have missed out on earlier meets, read the following threads.

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-...-5-2008-a.html (Report: Bangalore TBHP Yelagiri Drive on 25/5/2008.)

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-...report-16.html (Southern Spice : Twin City Meet Report !)

I shall talk to Hotel Landmark guys, see if a buffet lunch can be organized. And handle the drinks part of it too.

Putting up a poll to decide whether to do this on a Saturday/Sunday. Majority day will be chosen.

Rahul, could you please please please also check that there is no political function being held there on that weekend?

kartikkumar · 12th November 2008, 09:20

traffic jams on ghat sections aren't exactly fun

mclaren1885 · 12th November 2008, 09:47

Hehe, amitoj I shall look into that.

swift8847 · 12th November 2008, 10:36

Hey rahul. Nice to see another TBHP meet coming up soon. Btw where exactly is this place. If you could tell me this and the approximate distance considering I stay near BEL circle.

Saw the pics. Looks like a nice place. How about the roads??

@swift8847

Its around 150kms, bangalore - hosur - krishangiri - yelagiri

went there last week

SBR · 12th November 2008, 10:45

Hey Guys,

Count me in. I am a Newbie here in T -BHP and would like to take part in my first T - BHP meet. I am in for Saturday as we will get Sunday to realx.

I will bring along my M 800. I have been to Elagiri many a times. Its a Great place.

ON food, one idea I can share is that if there any Biriyani lovers, we can pack Biryani from Ambur or Vaniyambadi. Great Stuff.

Let me know.

Cheers
SBR

Roads are probably the best in this side of the country for some high speed driving.

The place is around 160kms one way from here. Itinerary shall be put up closer to dates we freeze on.

If I remember right most of the fun was had waiting on the hill side for traffic to clear! That is something I've never ever experienced before or since.

laluks · 12th November 2008, 13:15
