Bangalore group rides, and the app to run them
Nandi Hills - the dawn ride
The iconic Bangalore early-morning ride, ~60 km each way. Leave before sunrise to beat the gate queue and the traffic. A big group with staggered start times gets messy fast - a shared meetup point and a live map keep everyone together on the way up.
Coorg - the weekend coffee run
~250 km to Madikeri through coffee estates and ghats. A proper weekender for a group, with plenty of regroup-worthy stops. Background navigation that records the whole ride means you get the full route and stats even across a long day.
Chikmagalur & Sakleshpur - ghats and greenery
Twisties, misty ghats and easy group pacing, ~250-320 km out. Great for a mixed-ability crew if you run a clear lead and sweep and keep an eye on the live map at the turns.
Ooty - the long one
~270 km with the famous hairpins near the top. A longer, more demanding group ride where separation alerts and a shared meetup point earn their keep, and Family SOS gives the people at home peace of mind.
Keep the Bangalore crew together
Whatever the route, RideClan puts every rider on one live map in real time, adds a shared assembly point, and warns you the moment a rider drops off the back - so a big Bangalore group ride stays a group ride. Free on the App Store and Google Play.
