national highway 17 - the ride


i will be riding down the nh17 in september, 2009. exact dates depend on the monsoons, the ride will be timed with the receding showers.

basics of the trip:

1. route : mumbai-chiplun-goa-karwar-mangalore-cochin
2. it will not be hectic, max 300km per day
3. people are allowed to join for any of the legs of the journey ( mumbai-goa or mangalore-cochin etc ), so you have the flexibility of doing a 2 day, 3 day or 5 day trip as you find it convenient. or do the whole 13 day jingbang.
4. bring your own bike or rent one or drive a car. bring friends. try to avoid pillion riders on bikes for long stretches.

if you're interested, comment below or send me an email. i'll keep you updated as the itinerary firms up.

i'm hoping to have two vehicles ( my bike plus another bike/car ) at each leg of the journey.

so see if you can make it for atleast a two-three day leg.
