Hi All, After a little deliberation me and Dinesh are anouncing a ~ 100Kms MTB (On road) race. The plan is as following
Date : 19/7/2008 (Saturday) Time of reporting : 5:30 AM Time of staring : 6:00 AM Start Point : Around 1 KM from Hebbal Flyover towards Devanhalli on the left side End point : Same as above Point of return : The Nandihills (Palace Gate) Race will be considered off at : 12 AM (So you get 6 Hours to complete the race)
Important : You have to wear a Paper tag stating following things 1. Name : 2. Blood Group : 3. Emergency Contact Number :
What to bring : 1. Helmet (Mandated, not allowed wothout it) 2. Whatever you may need on the way to eat and drink (No support provided by us in these terms) - Water - Electral - Banans / Things you would like to eat on the run - Energy Bars / drinks - Puncture kit / small repair kit - Mind you, the more you bring the slower you will be, so do it optimally.
What is arranged : Dinesh has volenteered to arrange for Emergency-car, where he can pitch in to help in case of medical emergency or so ( will publish Contact info soon)
In case of broken bike, you will have to arrange for your own transportation back.
We as organizers dont take any reponsiblity of any injury during the race, and you are participating at your own risk.
What does it cost : Nothing .... ! ( *YES, Best things in life comes for free)* The plan is to make such races as regular event, at different places in and around Bangalore. Since this is first of it's kind (Not so organized) in Bangalore, we have chosen a very common route as we dont have to navigate, and dont need any special equipment for the same. We plan to have off-road races after we make this race a success. Thanks and Regards, ~Ravi and Dinesh -- http://tourofnilgiri.blogspot.com/
Awesome effort! This can spread the word for cycling like little else can!
But, sorry to play the devil's advocate, but just like 9motor)bikers, does this not need clearances etc ? There's traffic involved, after all, and 30kmph isn't that slow.

Oops, sorry, This was only wrt something that had gone wrong with a biker on one of the biking fora earlier this year. They had a run-in with the cops who charged them with racing/reckless riding on public roads. I'm not even sure if or how this applies to bicycles. In case someone does have contacts or knowhow - it might be worth a shot. Don't think its a big deal, in any case. Rgds, Sameer

One more suggestion for the race track is Khaglipura - Bannerghatta - NICE road in loop.
START: Closed down Family mart(junction) - > NICE road junction : 8KM
LOOP: NICE road Junction - Khaglipura : 6 KM Khaglipura - Bannerghatta : 11 KM On Bannerghatta road for 4 KM and then take left dirt road to NICE road-> 4 KM NICE road(Bennerghatta - Kanakapura road stretch) -> 7 KM
Loop total : 28 KM
Can try this loop for any number of times depending on the rider. I have attached a map from our previous BBC rides.
Cheers Gaurav

Why do such events happen on a Saturday when those roads are filled with Traffic. Don't forget that Saturdy's are off only for IT folks and not for other professions. So the traffic is as bad on a Saturday as on any weekday.
I would suggest you move this to Sunday, because the traffic on Sundays is almost 60%-70% lesser, especially near hebbal/yelahanka and other signals on the way to Nandi-Hills. This will make the ride a lot safer and better.

This is a great idea. I think Nandi is a grand way to start, but the participation will be limited for a number of reasons - 100 km with a major climb like Nandi will be a little too strenous for most poeple - Lot of people have a block about cycling on the highway - A majority of people in this group are from South Bangalore, so just getting to the starting point will be a problem
Since you have already planned this, we should go ahead. For the next time, we could consider a route of around 50 km. One suggestion that I have is to start from Agara Lake, go on the Ring Road till Hebbal flyover and return back to the starting point. If there is interest, we can even convert it to a duathlon by including 3-4 rounds around the lake.
What do you think?
regards jagan

Hi Murali, Please do understand that we had considered that as well, but Dinesh can not be available on Suday, so can not move it. Other option is that *You *volenteer to take care of the emergency-car, then we can consoder it. On the other hand, there is no option given to participant to move the dates, this right is only with the Volnteers. I am sorry if i am sounding rude, but this *race will not be moved to sunday*. Next time before sending such obvious suggestion, do consider that we would have already delibrated over it. Looking fwd to see all of you there. Thanks and Regards, ~ Ravi

Hi Murali, Dulathon can be another idea that we can work on for 17th of next month. Let's have this race of 100K to Nandi for this saturday. Thanks and Regards, ~ Ravi

If car is the only concern, then I can spare my car... provided there is someone to drive it, because I want to do this ride if its on Sunday...
And, moving this to Sunday was just a suggestion, owing to the fact that there will be many participants and too little space to ride during peak hour traffic... whether you want to move it or not is upto you folks.. I have no say in it...

Hi Murali, Thanks for offering the car, but it is not about the car. It is more about the guy who can manage the show as an medical emergency car. I hope that clarifies. I am really sorry if i have done any damage to your sentiments, that was never my intention. Thanks and Regards, ~ Ravi

I am Ashish (Pocha), the other co-ordinator cum participant in place of Ravi. My no - 9980146460
As Ravi has mentioned - helmets are compulsory. Also its advisable to carry all your eatables/drinks with you (in a bagpack may be). Its also good to have eaten something in the morning before you start. A bottle of electral or gatorade is a must have thing. Apart from these, try keeping a hanky/arm band. It would come handy during climbs where there is heavy sweating on face & very less time to take off from the handle bars.

Gaurav, since there is no registration or such, don't have any numbers
yet. Hoping for a good turnout of around 40 or so people (Ravi's
number :-)). About parking near the starting point - am reasonably
sure there is no parking at that point. Anyone else with info please
share it.
Sameer - yeah, maybe a good idea to put in more kms on the saddle.
Rgds,
Dinesh.

Hi ,
i did biking on this road from hebbal to Devanhalli earlier ....
and i find that the road were not so crowded (the traffic was less )
but the race should start by 6.00 itself since after 9 the density of
people start
increasing ...
Just take things into the account .....
Thanks ,
