What race will BBCh9 be? Last time, although we started thinking abt it early enuf, we acted on it too late..... Hopefully, somebody can find some nice crit-able circuit or offroad route?

Crit at manyata? iisc? Permissions?
There was some mention of a trail near a pipeline somewhere?
Cyclocross?

Am working with Sreepathi on the year end race. We are yet to get any confirmation although things look positive.

Other races - am up for a Crit or a cross country !

What happened to Tolur Ghat as the last race of the season..?

As Georg once said, our very own Alpe d'Huez..

Tolur is a place near  Anchetti. Last  year the folks had a race to that place ( A 100km race with some good climbs)

For folks who dont know about that race (and if my memory serves me right), few facts of that race:-
The turnout was less that time as the end point was far away from start point and folks had to either bike back or arrange for transport.

The best part was the winner "Dipankar Saikia" reached the end point and drew the finish line before the volunteer team could reach on their motorised vehicle :)
Now thats some awesome speed :)

Rgds,
Nalla.

Manyata would be great. I think this would be very useful. We would
get a lot of people. I will do my bit in trying to promote this.

was just thinking about this too :)

Georg is Manyata on or would we have to get a location ?

If not yet on, was thinking we could keep a Crit kinda race, but keep it offroad
Any trails come to mind ?

0-less than a km
circular loop.
Not too far from the city

Hessarghatta would be nice..... But a bit too far off..... A short one can be done at GKVK too.... But we've already done gkvk a while ago.... Didnt Georg mention of some trails inside bangalore univ?

I remember RFL had a part road part trail route near kanakpura road, ~5km from merida junction..... It was nice, with some steep uphills, corners and even a tank bund (so that u can accidentally fall into it).... I have totally forgotten exact details, as i had run this more than a year ago
