Woeful pre- planning on my part.
Will be doing some day riding this weekend, either Sat or Sun (probably both)
Would be fun to have 2-3 other riders max to ride with.
Starting in the West end with coffee somewhere, and then either head Niagara way, or North Northwest. Planning can finalize through further discussion (the woeful planning part here)

This will be old school. No comms and I don’t really follow a GPS so occasional stops to get bearings.
Will be stops outside of that too due to personal needs. Doesn’t that sound fun?!

Feel free to reply if you’re inclined.
 
There's a couple tims/ gas stations on Centennial Prky (on the way to Ridge Rd), one of which could be a good pit stop for you, and I can meet y'all there for the Niagara part?
 
What’s considered west end? I could be persuaded for this
 
How long of a ride on Sunday are you thinking?
All day? or just a few hours?
 
I'm in for Sunday.

Probably going to head north.

Thanks all. I'll put a (VERY) rough itinerary together for Saturday. Meet in Oakville'ish somewhere and then head Niagara way. Late morning start, back by dinner time.

I'll be out again Sunday but probably a little less time. We can plan maybe Hockley run or something for Sunday.

12:15 - 1:30'ish
Food in Grimsby, or head east along King St into Beamsville to try to find something.

1:30 - 3:30
Keep going King street east, no interest in stopping in St Catharines (maybe steer southerly into Brock U area)
Hook back up with QEW into Niagara falls, and then if there's still energy and gas, follow Niagara Falls Pkwy back up to Niagara on the lake.
Something like this (I WILL get repeatedly lost during this phase)

Cause some trouble in NOTL, then book it QEW back to GTA.
