Dear Friends, Several questions have been asked about breakfast options on August 1st 2010. This email contains that information. Please be careful about spending too much time at breakfast. Please try to enjoy the ride with the larger group as much as possible. You will also need to strike a balance between eating enough to bicycle and eating so much that you are uncomfortably full (personally, for me eating a little bit every so often works better than eating heavily at one shot).
There are three primary options and several secondary options available for breakfast:
1. Nandi Turn-around (Meals on wheels i.e. no formal restaurant): There are two places where Idly, Pakoda (Pakora), and Tea are available. Please don't get turned off by the looks, many of us bicyclists have eaten in this very ordinary looking place and lived to speak about it :-). Landmark: Go past the jain temple on the hill (picture is attached) in Devanahalli. You will see a board on the left hand side that says "Nandi Hill 26kms". The two eateries are on each side of this turning. You can have idlies and other breakfast just before making the turn here.
2. Idly Point: Location on map. This is a full fledged Darshini style restaurant. Only one bad experience so far, at least as I am aware of (will spare you the details). Food is not expensive, but not as cheap as option #1. Idly point also has a bakery where you can buy cakes, buns, dil-pasand, and other bakery items.
3. Nandi Base: Restaurant after you turn right after the Nandi statue. Slighty pricey (Masala Dosa was Rs.40 about 2 months back). Not too bad though.
Additionally, there are several places where you can buy water, tender-coconut, biscuits, chocolates, etc. Please spend your time very carefully. The advantage with Idly is that it is safe (boiled/cooked) and dispensed very quickly.
Hope that helps,
Yogesh.

Folks, here is the big NEWS
Mr. Bhaskar Rao, who needs no introduction to this forum, is there at
Nandi Hills from 8.30 am onwards for an hour, to welcome riders and
spend time with us.
What more - He has booked 4 rooms for us which will be available from
9.30 am onwards, for riders to freshen up and relax.
He is also looking to arrange some chai-wala who can serve chai and
bisuits at the arch where we may have to park our cycles.
This is amazing stuff guys, please circulate this email to as many
people as possible in your company, within your friends circle, and
get as many people as possible for the ride.
And of course, dont forget to get your cameras!
PS: I am trying to rope in some mobile support in terms of water/
electral and bananas. Speaking to a high-end gym if they can help us.
Keeping fingers crossed.

This is beyond great news!!! This is AWESOME NEWS!!!
Boys and Girls, I have never had something this spectacular ever happen on Nandi for us. We are indeed fortunate that Bangalore has a great administrator like Mr.Bhaskar Rao (Wish we had more people like him in this country).
Georg, Ravi, Samim, Nelly, Rohan, Dr.Arvind, Gaurav Dwivedi, Manjula, Nupur, Joshine, and other strong riders, Would it be possible for you folks to do multiple climbs up Nandi on this Sunday? We could have a larger group of newbies see you climb and go downhill. Vivek Radhakrishnan, not sure if you have completely recovered. If you have, can you please consider this request as well. We will have several of us including Rekha and a few more ladies providing inspiration on the rolling parts of the terrain until Nandi.
I am currently calling up and reaching out to folks individually and requesting them to assist with leading from behind and center. We will ensure that we stick with as many riders as possible and provide any necessary help and assistance.

Hey George and BBC'ers,
Let me start by saying, I am repeating things that have been written about Mr.Bhaskar Rao in several places. He is a very modest person, so don't be surprised if you see a very simple looking guy in track-suits on this Sunday.
Administrative services exams (and IPS in particular) are one of the most difficult exams to get through in this country. Mr.Bhaskar Rao is an IPS officer of the 1990 batch. An extremely pragmatic officer who has won several accolades. We all deal with politics in our jobs, imagine a job that involves dealing with politicians, auto-rickshaw unions, lorry unions, and public every day! This is the daily life that he deals with as the Transport Commissioner for Karnataka. He served in the Army and served this country in a tour of Sri Lanka as a part of IPKF peace forces before he became an IPS officer. He has run several 10Ks, 20Ks, Half Marathons, Full Marathons, Bicycling events, etc. One of his biggest achievements is a Tour Of Karnataka covering nearly 900kms on a Single Speed Steel Atlas Bicycle. He has served as the police commissioner in several challenging districts with large forest cover (think dealt with Sandalwood and poaching). Someone told me, "he used to be a good guy to the good guys, and be a bad guy to the bad guys". He completed the 900kms Tour of Nilgiris last year (How many administrators do you know who can do that). He continues to be a prolific supporter of sports in this state. I can't even start describing the things he has done for supporting sports and fitness in Karnataka. He does all this behind the scenes generally preferring to stay away from the limelight. In our last major event, BSA Duathlon, he did not give a long speech instead stuck with "have fun guys, have lots of fun" and flagged off the event. The things he is doing for our Nandi ride are but a small part of the numerous things he has done for Karnataka. Karnataka owes him a huge thanks for all the work he does :-)
I know all that sounds like a lot of flattery, but they are not. They are neither embellished nor exaggerated.
Thank you Mr.Bhaskar Rao,
Yogesh.
