Hi Evoex,

I literally live 1 min from that location. I'm an experienced rider currently riding a '17 s1000rr.

What is your group usual riding pace?

I'd like to join you guys some time.

Pat

We do typically hit up another location in the city afterwards, but we don't necessarily do planned rides weekly.

Hope to meet you then!
 
That's an hour ish ride for me...would love to come down and meet some other riders though, anyone else ride down from north of Toronto? I would be coming down from Bolton, would be great to ride down in a group.

I ride back to Newmarket after the meetup. I take 400 back if we end up at burrito boys. If KC, then I would take 404.
Work in Markham, so I head to second cup directly after work.

I'm from Bolton as well, I'd be down to ride to the meet depending on my work schedule on Wednesdays.

So you go straight down 404 from work I'm assuming? I currently live in Aurora for another month until I move back to Bolton, could definitely meet up to ride down together.

That's awesome, I spend a lot of time in Bolton, as mentioned above I'm moving back there soon. Would be great to meet other locals who ride.

I can take 404 from work, but I like to take local as much as I can (when on my bike), so I take Don Mills south mostly.

Makes sense, I really don't like riding the highway either...it's boring and dangerous, not my idea of a good time.

Funny, i feel way safer on the highway. Only thing i find tedious is managing the people trying to merge into you.

It's that whole people who merge into you bit lol...407 isn't too bad, but 400 going through Vaughan and 401 are brutal for that.

Better to ride a little aggressive, so you're the one merging into people lol

I can't though lol...last season I was riding the 300, once you're at highway speed that's it not much acceleration left. Hard to get out of the way quickly...

You have 160+ top end (unless you're 250+), just drop a gear and you're there.

I know, it just isn't very quick to get there. It's a small bike, and I'm 6ft2 about 210 so maybe that's a factor.
My new bike is bigger and more powerful, haven't had it on the highway yet but I feel like it would be more confidence inspiring than my little ninja.
