Plan for our first monsoon trip to Ambey Valley, Lonavala on June 22, 2014

Dear Riders,

BAC Mumbai is ready for its next ride. Its raining already and we are ready to don our boots & hail our helmets to what we call our first ever Monsoon ride. This trip to the Amby Valley will be remembered for reasons more than one. We have a promising count of experienced & new riders, the weather promises to be as amazing as it could get, and who wants to miss the "garma garam chai & corn pakodas" while you and your ride are drenched in rains?


So riders don't take this as a regular BAC ride & come prepared for what promises to be an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
So folks, here is the plan...
