Ride tip

NH75 is a fast four-lane highway with heavy trucks: ride staggered, never side by side. Mullayanagiri and Baba Budangiri roads are narrow ghats, so switch to single file.

Plan this ride with your crew

Create a crew on MotoHeads, post this ride with the meeting point and time, and let everyone RSVP. On ride day start the live map, so the lead sees the sweep and nobody gets lost at a junction. Split fuel and food over UPI after.
