Yes, at Hockley all returning operators go through a refresher on the operation of all lifts and practice manual evacuation of the chairlift. This is necessary because it is the lift operators responsibility to manually evacuate guests from a disabled chairlift. I believe it's a TSSA...

That route includes some of my favourite roads. If you've never ridden River Road you will like it. Just be aware that the speed limits have been reduced to 60 and 50 kph along most of it and during the summer months it is heavily patrolled on the weekends. My favourite route is below. I go...

Sorry, I used the wrong name for the game, it's actually the "A to Z" game, but there's also a Tag game where you take photos of landmarks with the bike in the shot, which I think GTA also does. With the Tag game you need to post a photo of the old location and a new location to move the Tag...

I've rarely see another red ST1100 while out riding, likely because it's over 20 years old. It was great to ride together along Hockley Road and CR 1 over to Tottenham Road. BTW, I picked up the N, O and P for the Tag Game over on that other Forum. Here's my route and a photo at the N that I...

I put the ST to bed for the season yesterday after a nice 132km ride. It was a tad cool, but not too bad. I am hoping for maybe another ride before the end of the month, but not holding my breath. In just over a week from now I have our recertification for returning lift operators and most of...

I never clean my plate on my car in winter. When I clean the snow off the hood, roof, windows, mirrors and lights, I somehow forget to give the plate a wipe. As a result the rear plate is usually covered in a mixture of snow and slush that builds up quickly on these hatchback CUV's. Sorry...

I had already put Stabil in the tank before my last ride on the 23rd. I topped it up again when I filled up at the end of the ride. I hope to get in a couple more rides before the snow comes for the winter and always bring the Stabil with me to replenish the tank when I stop to refuel. I was...

I change over to winter tires in mid-October every year. I've been caught before so now I just make sure they are on before Halloween. Still hoping for a day or two of riding weather before I put the ski racks on the car.

And good theft / loss of use insurance I presume. With the ever increasing theft of vehicles from driveways, keeping your vehicles out of sight is another bonus of being able to park inside the garage. If they don't see it they won't try to steal it.

The same idiots who are responsible for JT!

I also went for a little ride yesterday afternoon because of the lengthy frost delay at the golf course. Beautiful day to ride and no issues with traction.

I really hate taking the time to clear ice and snow off my car in the winter and unnecessarily idling the car makes no sense to me. As a result it's very important for me to be able to fit both my bike and car in the garage. Our last townhouse only had a single car garage, but there was still...

Yes, but look at what they had to work with...the vast majority of council is either Liberal, or NDP and it has been this way for at least 40 years!

I've already seen brine applied to a few roads near Orangeville. Really good chance they were done overnight as it was below the freezing point up here. I'm hoping there isn't too long of a frost delay at the golf course this morning.

Can't wait for the first snowfall! I'm sure all the newly licensed Brampton drivers will be well represented in the nightly news broadcast about the carnage on the roads.

I've been cut-off twice by gravel trucks pulling out of the quarry at Hockley Road / 5 Sideroad. There are two stop signs for the trucks, one at the quarry exit and a second on 5 Sideroad at Hockley. Most of these guys might stop at the first, but very few want to stop again and run through the...

I've had that happen so often it doesn't even faze me anymore. Those mall entries and exits with the pork-chop island to encourage people to turn right only, together with the "No Left Turn" signage, mean absolutely nothing to someone who just needs to turn left.

I would hope that breach of a court order would result in arrest and jail time until bail posted! Well, it should in this case.

I've never ridden that road. The only time I've ever driven it was one winter day on my way to Blue when the wind was blowing the snow sideways across 124 so badly I quite literally could not see the end of my hood! I turned at Redickville (insert 6 year old chuckle) and headed east with the...

It was paved about 6-8 years ago. I stumbled across it shortly after and have been enjoying it ever since.
