I had the same route in mind that we skipped last week. But am not
sure how many people are up to doing almost 40 km to Badhkal and Back.
If people are OK, I am game. Does someone have a puncture kit? If yes,
then please bring it along.

Other option is to do head west, hit mehrauli, turn towards JNU, go
round into Vasant Kunj, to Andheria More and back to Mehrauli, and
starting Point. Total 20 KM.

Let us wait for responses.

Dear all and SG2 riders

I am going with Neena and suggesting we do Badhkal on 17th. I have an
engagement tomorrow afternoon and the Badhkal ride would be quite
tiresome.

Rachit, what say we do Mehrauli / Chattarpur tomorrow.

Hi Vikas,
 
Could I request you to keep the badhkal ride on the 17th since I am travelling this weekend and I wouldn't want to miss tht ride.

Happy riding!!!!

Dear Lakshay

We were doing Badhkal last week but many people dropped out. We can do
Badhkal this week. The starting point it Khanpur Traffic Light. We
normally meet at the north east side of the tri-junction. I believe
Gaurav is Joining and so is Neena.

Dear Vibhu, could you place this planned trip on your blog.

Sunday the 17th MAy
Starting at 7.00 AM at Khanpur Traffic Light (South End of the BRT Corridor)
Destination : Badhkal Lake (I Believe there is no 'lake' there anymore)
Arrival time at Badhkal: Approx 8:30 to 9 am (Depending on the slowest
one of us all)
Start back after a short rest and picture session
Arrival back at starting point: Around 10.30 AM

Bring your own snacks. Carry at least 1/2 to 1 liter of water. Wear
caps to ward off the sun tan/burn.

Cheers
Vikas

Hi friends,

I have an as yet unconfirmed plan to go out of town.. If it does not materialize, I will join you guys along with Navneet. The most opportune meeting point I can imagine is the Gymkhana Club roundabout which is about 2 kilometers before the badhkal lake . Navneet, can you suggest any other.

Cheers!
Kapil

Hi All,

I'm in for this..
My first ride with DCC. Which is he north east side or khanpur red
light? If I'm coming from Qutab minar towards Khanpur traffic light,
will the meeting point be after the traffic light?

Cheers

guys how are we getting the bikes though - unlike north campus or

Unfortunately we don't have the Metro in this part of Delhi yet and so no bike stations. It would have to be your own bikes unless someone has a better idea.

Hi friends...
My health is not permitting me to ride..though its been long time and
I really miss it every moment.
Earlier I was thinking of coming towards Surajkund and back along with
you people. But it doesn't seems possible. Anyhow, I will surely come
till bhadkal directly and will join u there..
@Vikas: i will coordinate you on phone.

Navneet
