Sangam-Galibore-bheemeshwari bicycle/MTB bike ride Along Side river cauvery

I am planning a cycling trip from Muthathi Sangam-galibore-bheemeshwari. All Bangalore based bikers are welcome.

The idea is to pack our cycles in a car and head from Bangalore to kanakpura and then to mekedhatu. Here in Mekedatu we park our cars, dismount and re assemble our bikes and head thru galibore.

I am a photographer, and I am looking to capture some real action images…. So if you are a photographer/biker too welcome. We can work together on the strobe lighting

Facts:
Route: Sangam, Galibore – Bhimeshwari. We will be raging our MTB bicycles along side Cauvery river.
Distance: 20 kilometers ?? one way ?
Road type: Mud and gravel.
Date: 26th or 27th December after the ooty ride flag off, very early in the morning from bangalore. We will bike from sangam at 6 AM

Things to get:
Your bike (hopefully not a road bike)
Helmet
Pneumatic pump
Flat Tire Kit and knowledge on how to use that
Control Cables.. you decide from your bike and the installation knowledge
Chocolates, water, salts
Camera if you want to capture this – or never mind I will do that for you 
Iodine patches and first aid kits and a crepe bandage.

I will arrange the other things like permit etc etc
