Hey, much better.

Sarjapur going very strong! 13 kids + 2 more (second preference).
Abhinandan is the top scorer for Sarjapur with 5 kids! Mini forest JP
Nagar and GKVK share a distinct second place with 3 kids - but GKVK
has the distinction of moving fast and having already organized the
date.

For Sarjapur, Oct 30th seems like a good choice - as Abhinandan has
indicated that would be the only date possible. 30th is also listed as
"possible dates" for 4 more kids. Considering there is still a week to
go, I bet those numbers are on the rise.

Still early days for JP Ngr, let us see how the number pan out over
the next couple of days? Oct 30th could still be an option for this as
well - going by preferences.

Not even a single entry for EC? C'mon!

Cheers,
Karthick

Jai, Karthick

am in Ecity and not sure how far is Gkvk (my guess its on the new
airport road)...

I would prefer the Sarjapur / Decathalon or the JP Nagar
event...apologies but not be able to make it..

Rgds,
hvk

[Chidambaran Subramanian]

Wish you guys all the best. Not possible for me to turn up , too far, my kids would get tired just getting there. Hope you get a good turnout though.

Regards
Chiddu

I am out of town this weekend and won't make it. I and my daugher will be coming next weekend if there is a similar event at Sarjapur or elsewhere. 

Have fun!

--Ashwatha.

Another friend with her batch of school kids (the friend who actually wanted this and how this whole thing got kicked off) is reaching there a lil earlier around 6:30am. Will be there and meet up with you guys too.

Should be fun.

[Karthick Gururaj]

HVK, GKVK is on the way to the new airport, about 4.5 km after Hebbal
flyover. At about 1300 acres, I understand it is probably the largest
agricultural university campus in India, it is worth a visit (if not
this week, sometime later). It is quite popular with runners as well.
S. Bangalore has Lalbhag, N. Bangalore has GKVK :)

For Sarjapur, Oct 30th looks like a good date? Abhinandan - you want
to update others on where/when/how?

- Karthick

[Karthick Gururaj]

Had a fun time! Met Jai/Vijay and kids. Jai said it was a 2km circuit
that we took.. kids continued cycling later too. They didn't seem to
want to leave :) Got a few of the RFL folks interested as well.

Rohan, did you guys come to GKVK today? Guess we missed you by a few mins.

Meet again next week? Can sync up on Friday.

Cheers,
Karthick

[Jaikant Chandra Kumaran]

The kids loved it and it doubled their energies to cycle and run later :)

Anju our fav runner's photographer was there as well and she took pics of the kids. Will share them once she shares it.

I am game for next week. Will also join the SJP and JP Nagar kids cycling :)

Jai

PS: Also bumped into Shankar who was on his way to Hesarghatta and the kids and us reverse dropped him by our pace :)

Hi,

Was out of town and came late night yesterday. Checked this only
now.... Will get my daughter along next week.

Hi Jai and Karthick,

It was nice meeting you guys yesterday.
I was surprised to see the energy in the kids grow by the minute even after they finished the ride and wanted to do more. Lets keep their cycling spirit growing. We will decide an catch up on their next ride soon :)

-Vijay

[hvk]

good to see this has started...

pls post on the next meeting...guess its at JP Nagar or
Decathalon.....

eagerly waiting to see the future kids on their cycles. We should
click some good snaps and publish them....

Great to see the pictures.

Do we have a kids' event this weekend as well (Sarjapura)?

--Ashwatha.

[hvk]

To add to this.....weekend Fun event at Dthalon Sarjapura called as
"VITAL SPORTS – 29th & 30th Oct 2011", where you can indulge in sport
activities like – Trail Running, Archery, Cycling, Tent pitching,
catch a glimpse of American football, Martial arts and meet Ted Murray
for a Tennis workshop while exploring the store....

Could be a bonus for kids if we plan to this on 29th Sat...(Sun 30th
might be difficult due to GGI 3rd anniversary in the morning)
