Musafirs Ride#67 – To Camp in the Mountains: Feb 20-21- 2016

While the winters are making way for the summers – The Musafirs are all set to Camp out and make the best of the winter winds.
Come explore the rustic way of life before the summer sets in, let us ride and pitch camp on the mountains of Naneghat.

The location is known for being windy and cold at night. Keeping us company will be the campfire, piping hot tea and other delicacies and the Musafirs family 🙂

UNLIKE our regular rides that begin very early morning, on this ride we would assemble at 8:00 AM near Pappu Da Dhaba, Thane (Breakfast khaa ke aana assembly pe), load the camping equipment and head to the destination.
Once we cross Kalyan, the sceneries and atmosphere changes drastically as the canopy of trees and greenery around make the ride pleasant.

It being a camp out ride, we expect complete participation of everyone to ensure clockwork operations ,once at the destination the whole team will be divided into smaller units to Pitch tents, make arrangements and Prepare for the campfire etc.

POINT TO NOTE:
As mentioned THIS IS NOT A PICNIC where in you park your bike, walk into a pre-setup tent to rest and come out of it for meals served on a silver platter. On this ride, all of us would be inter-dependent and we need to ensure that all the tasks are performed as a team – Hence, stick to the plan assigned. At the campsite, please take care of all the equipment and return them to the designated spot after use rather than keeping it spread out across the camp site.

We follow a NO LITTER policy and hence make use of the garbage bags so that when we leave the camp site there should be no trace left behind.

A few things to remember:
1. Carry mat/2 bedsheets/sleeping bags.
2. Sleep ONLY in the tent that has been assigned to you rather than inconveniencing others.
3. There is no light source and hence carry Torch. Using the flash light of the mobile will drain the battery and since it’s a tent-out ride, there will be NO provision to charge your phone.
4. Tissue paper, Hand sanitizer, Odomos cream
5. Carry full sleeve clothing for night.
6. Carry spoon for eating.
7. Carry spare tyre tube, clutch cable for your bike.

While riding, Every Rider and Pillion Should Wear Helmet, shoes and full denims or riding gear. Ensure that your headlight and tail light along with all indicators and the horn are working well. We use these as communication tool.
While on the road, we ride in a straight line formation while maintaining braking distance and at speeds set by the Group Pilot/Master Pilot. The hand and horn signals we adopt to communicate with our fellow riders will be told at the assembly. Just in case we happen to stop for some reason while riding, all the bikes should stop in the same formation rather than bunching together at the front and blocking the whole road.

Reach the assembly on time and fuel up before you reach the assembly.

Water will be provided after we reach the camp site. While on the road settle the bills for bottled water, cold drinks etc directly with the vendor.

The Musafirs is NOT a Boyz-Only Riders Club. Female riders/pillions are welcome as our female crew member – Shona and numerous other female Musafirs would be there to keep company throughout the trip.

The Musafirs is a highly evolved riding club with numerous online and print publications writing about it (check it out: https://www.themusafirs.com/media/). Riding with the Musafirs requires biking discipline and punctuality. Our riders demonstrate real control, discipline and temperament by riding in the designated formations at the designated speed and performing responsibilities that make the ride function like clock-work.

We do not support/encourage drugs and are firmly against it! If you cannot resist the urge to light up a joint for ride days, you are better off riding with some other riding group.

Don’t drink and ride… after reaching the accommodation/Camp site, if you want to hit the road again for local sightseeing as a rider, DON’T DRINK! “Arre yaar ek bottle hi pee hai”, “Arre yaar ek peg mai mera kya hoga” these are what we hear generally… DON’T DRINK and RIDE!

Let’s ride… Let’s Enjoy… Let’s BE A MUSAFIR
