Hello folks,
A group of 5 riders from Kochi is planning to ride the Bangalore Chitradurga 400 brevet on 21st June. Is there a route or a GPX file we can load into garmin / smart phones?
Any advice on the weather in Bangalore at this point especially since we would be riding all night. Is it cold and would we need warm clothing? Would there be shops on the route for refreshments etc ? Any other advice for us to be better prepared would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Shibu

Shibu,
It will be cold only if you are wet, otherwise it is fine. I have done the route in Monsoon adn winter both, and did not feel a need to wear more than simple 2 layers (2 jerseys or jersey/rainjacket.
There are shops open at all the tool booths on the way, simple refreshments and tea/coffee and water can be obtained.
Iet me know if you need any other information.I am the volunteer for the 400 start, I can give you some more details via email or at the start point tomorrow.
Also riding with you guys tomorrow is Sandeep Reddy who is a veteran breveteer,and knows this route by heart, and a very nice chap, he can help you with any in-ride tips if you hang on to him ;-)

Thanks Parag and Anil. I heard warnings about headwinds. One of our riders quit today morning for 1000 Brevet due to the winds.
Hopefully it will help us move faster on the way back? Any tips for attacking the winds? Will try drafting within team.
Parag look forward to meeting you tomorrow.
