Thinking of a 1day ride to Malshej on the 9th Oct 2010 Saturday.
Start Early Morning and return by Evening.

Route i have in Mind
Pune-Nashik Phata-Ale Phata-Malshej MTDC-Malshej Ghat-Tokawade-Mhasa-Karjat-Lonavala-Pune

Mumbaikars can decide a route where they can meet us up at Malshej MTDC.

Lets Ride.

it seems that its gonna be only me.
so i am gonna change location to Tamhini Ghat. will be scoping it for potentially hazardous potholes, for Sunday drive .
anyone wants to join in is welcome. call me for details.

I know the title says Lonavala Tiger Valley, but it is a more ghat specific ride.
Click on the link below for the route i am thinking of. although this is Pune Centric, I am hoping that Mumbaikars (and others interested shall join in) shall be there at least till Tiger Valley.

Baner Rd to Pune Bangalore/NH 4 - Google Maps

this is a single time call. Those Interested are to show their headlights at Ramakrishna Hotel by 8:30am (B'fast time 8:30 to 9:15am) after that around 10:00am at Tiger Valley. Photo Shoot, and general Bakkar Session. then proceed towards the rest of the route. Meet point at Pune is Joshi Wadewale at Wakad (nr Hinjewadi IT park Flyover, or as per convinience) At 6:30am. I will move out irrespective of attendance (please pardon my aggressiveness . seen too many keyboard riders. time to wake up the actual riders ).

I shall be halting at Pali Ganpati to pick up some "Bharli Mirchi" so please bear with me

No time limits after Tiger Valley. I just wanna ride at a leisurely pace of around 100kmph thru the ghats.

The Route has been set. If you want we can do Lavasa once we are back from The Bhor Ghat route. I would love a few more ghats thrown in a one day ride.
My idea for the ride is to cover a lot of distance thru the ghats. i love twisties rather than straights. they test you control to a max. that is what gives me a real high. better than any Alcohol / Tobacco / Narcotics available. I dont mind a few straights between two twisties:D

Importantly. Joshi wadewala is nowhere close to the Wakad Flyover (my mistake), it is near Soul Curry. so please be there. morning 6:30am sharp.
Mumbai vaasi junta. be at Lonavala RamKrishna Hotel by 8:30am. The early bird sweats the least

i think lavasa has more twist and turns then any other ghats in/near Pune.
and btw m in for lavasa.but if u guyz wanna do bhor ghat then ive got no issues just let me know when ur heading towards lavasa so that i can join u for the ride

I went and came back to Pali to buy some Masala Filled Chillies (which was the main attraction of the ride). this time around more pictures, courtesy the Handle mounted Camera. few pics were taken standing. rest of them were taken from the vdo's on the run. upto 44mins worth of footage was recorded. so i am gonna have to edit out the unnecessary parts and post the best on youtube. u will get an idea from the vdo grabs. so enjoy.
Trip Log also being created. will post that soon too.

Thanks. And yes, i did make the mount myself. the only hardwork involved was drilling a small hole. which i did while watching dabaang, much to the displeasure of my wife (she didnt like the drilling noise in between the dialogs )

I will be uploading the procedure for DIY in the gadgets section shortly.
Videos will be on youtube and then the vdos section too.
Hope you enjoyed the snaps.
