Driving/Travel Plans for the National Meet

Karan : CNG is available in most of the cities buddy. Remeber now most of the Rickshw run on CNG. Infact I have travlled on NH8 till Ahmedabad & have seen CNG signs on HIghway as well.

Karan as far as your mom is concerned just invite few of us on Dinner at your place...LOLs  & all will ensured that you are dragged in the car to Mumbai convincing your Mom. I am sure once she sees all of us ,will be ensured that you are in much decent company....LOLs.What say guys.

Post edited to separate quote & reply.

Yes!!! Yes!!! And make sure the dinner is prepared by your mother so that we can praise her till she agrees to allow you to travel by car

Hey Karan, Kartik, Arun, Gouri, Praveen, Varun, Aby - the dates are announced - What about confirmations? (only I, Karan and Aby have confirmed as of now...)

Also now is the time to take this idea forward...

Its just 1+1 day of travel one way - Anybody knows where to stay for the night in Udaipur?

I am ready krishna,Only slightly confused about taking our own vehicles,hiring a vehicle would cost us anything between 20-25 k @Rs 5 /Km...

There is no doubt - own vehicle - whosesoever  my vehicle would be ~Rs 3/- per km with petrol. Your would be ~ 2/- per km with CNG. My vehicle to & fro is 9k, with yours it is ~6k. Assumption is we get CNG along the way like Steer was telling.

So we keep your vehicle as first pref, mine as second. (Your's will be more fun too - you HAVE to get your ICE back to the cabin from the exile in the boot)

Krishna We can very well look forward to having CNG,But keeping 150 km as the range,i guess that would take away the driving pleasure...[We can just switch onto it as long as we get CNG pumps]

But otherwise i am ready for petrol costing us nearly 10k[petrol and CNG changeovers will cost less though] which can very well be shared between us...

Only waiting for few Tyre mods,for safety purposes...Besides having spacers for the rear shocks which already bears wait of two extra people[95+15  kilos] thats why having little problem with the ground clearance right now[with the rear bumper skirt],which will be resolved well in advance...

Just keep Your vehicle in stand by mode,Because like Karan has already pointed out the MOM factor hovering always...LOLs...

Here is a detailed route...Hope now we can narrow down our search for the CNG pumps...The older highway is the NH3 which goes via agra,Taj mahal city...

Looks like a trecherous route....

But not for long,will be one of the most memorable journey...For hunting down all the CNG pumps on the way,will give us a new objective...to reach and cherish CW National meet...

Here is a route description by some fellow,for NH8...The golden corridor...Hope it helps us know more about it...

The entire Trip can be divided into 6 major pit stops...

Delhi to

1. Jaipur

2. Ajmer

3. Udaipur

4. Ahemdabad

5. Vadodra

6. Kadodra[Close to surat]

                                        and finally to Mumbai...

Delhi - Jaipur            =261km

Jaipur-Ajmer            =138km

Ajmer-Udaipur          =269km

Udaipur-Ahemdabad  =292km

Ahemdabad-Vadodra =113km

Vadodra-Mumbai       =448km

Taking into account that it totals to 1521 km

An avg of 500 km @ [single drive shift to be] 8 hrs maximum for safety purposes,

It makes Udaipur,Vadodra to be our main haults for Rest...
