Started from JP Nagar RIS Junction by : 5-30am and reached cubbon park by 5:50am. Since every one were charged up hence took only 20minutes to reach Cubbon Park. To our surprise we met most of the GGI members who have not registered for the ride and they did show up so early to participate. Totally there were 41 GGI along with other BBC members fully charged to break the ice.. Started off by sharp 6-00am headed towards our 2nd pit stop which was opp to Colmbia-Asia there we met few more bikers who joined the ride. approximatively their were around 100+ cyclist who captured the Nandhi Hills on 01 Aug 2010. Most of the visitors @ Nandhi hills were surprised to see people climbing Nandhi hills by Cycles & they were not ready to believe we have cycled up. :) This was one of the best ride that was every organised all this was possible due to the kind of coordination that we had with BBC riders, We would thank all of you over their who did rode with us and make this ride a memorable event.
