Amishji,

1. Lonavala is decided, unless there is a problem with lonavala. 2. lets decide it for this weekend (15 and 16 th May), we leave by 6pm. 3. Is it possible to arrange for the bus. I am not allowed to take my bike on the Mumbai-Pune Express way so I need lift. 4. We need to register and pay to a co-ordinator. I cam collect money from anyone around powai after office hours. We need more volenteers for the same in different locations. 5. Speakers, Amish (I will speak on how to stay quiet), /*Please add your name here to this list */

if(your_name != unlist(speakers)) then { cout << " you will have to speak on topic selected by the members on the trip"; }

PLease reply inline and trim the original mail, I am expecting many responces for this mail.

This will turn out too expensive and handling the logistics is a thankless nightmare. We should stick to local transport.

that means ST buses? or train? few questions still unanswered/unclear * taking bus/train/cab from where and what time? * common meeting point. * where in lonavala will we be staying/waiting? * when would we be returning? * estimated total cost?

Local train may be preferable. We get a connecting train from Karjat to Lonavala. It is a short fantastic journey up the ghats. Alternatively a ST Asiad bus from Dadar can also get us to Lonavala.

Some of us may want to go there on our bikes.. ;) Anyone game ?

It is ~100km one way. It would be great fun if we have 5-10 bikes... halt at a dhaba, chai, smoke, ride, eat, chai, smoke, ride, chai, smoke, ride ...

All of us coming by car/bike should meet early morning 5ish at powai. and move from there. Since powai-mulund-vashi would be the best way for moving out of the city.

I would suggest IIT maingate 5am, everyone who wants to come should be at IIT maingate at 5am, maximum by 5:15 we would leave from Powai. I am solo on my bike, anyone interested in joining me is welcomed (at the cost of sharing half the travel price ofcourse). The interested person should have an accident insurance and a mediclaim (no financial risks to be taken :p ).

Does anyone know a hotel in lonavala where we can confirm the availability of resources, and the road leading to lonavala (expressway does not allow bikes).

what is the date and duration of the trip? thx gnurpreet

Thanks for the biking idea amish.

Your idea of meeting at 5ish near powai gate is great. We still need to figure out the number of luggers/bikes/cars coming along.

Also jtd has some good ideas for accomodation at lonavla. Lets rope him in on this one.

NH4. The expressway is just an recent addition. It is also boring to ride on, being concrete and bumpy.

I, too, am single on my bike. Anyone wanna share? I'd prefer a chick

Would a penguin do?

Sure. Any chick. Even a penguin one.

So u mean to say you have 8 years of experience to make your pillion rider uncomfortable but safe? :-)

I hope that you will the team to top of the world and not out of the world. ;-)

Considering your experience and expertise, I am seriously considering your candidature. However, I have better options like Venky's car. So let me know why should I drive with you. ;-)

Apart from that, there is serious problem. I can go to sleep any time in the night including 2,3,4 or 5 am. But if I have to wake up at 5 am, sorry, I will not do that.

So after all, I will be missing this trip altogether. May be I will join next time, when people decide to start at "sane" time. :-D

So enjoy your trip. With regards,
