IBR Bangalore 3rd Anniversary Ride to Ooty
Its celebration time, IBR Bangalore has turned 3. We planned to celebrate this occasion outside Bangalore and finalized our destination as Ooty for this event.
It was a mammoth task to organize such an event, right from finding a place to accommodate entire club, handling registration, room location, logistics, etc. With the support of volunteers we did all planning and arrangements for the event. Final registration count was 100+ with 80 bikes and 4cars.

I was leading the ride till first pit stop at Maddur. After we reached Maddur, I was checking with Sweeps and came to know about that a bike got punctured. Since it is early morning, all puncture shops were closed near there and they loaded the bike in a truck to nearest town. Rest of us continued our ride to our next pit stop at Mysore for Breakfast.
We started riding on state highway towards Nanjanagudu. Before Gudlupete we took a break and one of our rider who lost on the way joined back with us there. From there we were riding through Bandipur Ghats. It is a mesmerizing route, every time when were I ride through these ghats I feel astonishing.
We took a break after the exit of Bandipur Ghats. As there were some traffic on the road, we rode little slow and reached Mysore for our lunch. After lunch I waited for Batch 2 and rode with the second batch till Bangalore. Mysore road was Jam-packed traffic on Sunday evening, more to it humps and barrier also blocked the traffic. It was very difficult to maintain formation.
One of our rider was sick due to food poison and our brothers who came on cars has took him to hospital in Ooty and came little late in the evening. Few of us waited there until all cars were reached Bangalore. Another memorable ride with IBR, Thanks to all IBR brothers.
