Barrie and area

Usually 6-7.
This year hasn't been decided yet but were leaning towards a quick local ride with some ice cream or picking a different destination for dinner every Thursday and riding out to it.
Still being debated but input is welcomed.

This hasn't been decided stuff is why we end up with 3 bikes at a meet! lol We need to nail it down once and for all. I want to see 20 or 30 bikes a week out this year!!

I like thge idea of ridding out to a diffrent spot every week, but that's only going to get us people on the forums who remember to check this thread every week.. I want all the riders in Barrie out, on the forum or not, so I think it needs to be a specific spot, same place, same time every week. That way we can spread the word and after a while it'll be common knowledge.

I vote for Thursday's at 6:30 at Kawartha Dairy on Anne. Then from there if we want to go for a ride, we can pick a diffrent place every week, but I say the 6:30 meet is always there.
 
I agree. It was awesome when we had the consistent Wednesday meets last year.

Oh man! I just thought you guys were ditching me! ;)

I had something bike related I was doing on Wednesdays... now I'm all paranoid I'm having a senior moment.

If you want 20-30 bikes out per meet then you need to make the meet later. I ride with 10-15 guys that are all in the Barrie area and we all don't get home till 7pm. That's where the problem lies. I tried to make it out to a few of your meets last year at Essa only to show up and find everyone left to go somewhere (Toronto?). Personally I normally go to the Orillia Meet on Mondays since they meet 7pm +. I would much prefer to stay local though and get to know some people.

That's a good point. But I think with a meeting at 6:30, especially if were having some ice cream or something we'll hang out later into the evening i'm thinking until 8 or so unless we are going for a ride.. And if people keep coming we'll probably stay even later.. If we know people are comming we'd definitely wait.

P.S the group at essa isn't us, we were at the timmies on fairview last year on thursday's. There is still a group at essa/veterans on fridays.

yea Pat, it was thurs last year.

+1 on ice cream. The prob with later meets is that by the time you want to get out for a ride anywhere, it's dark. It's not like there's a lot of twisties to ride around barrie anyway.

This is true also, to me it's just nice to get a lot of bikes out, meet/chat grab some ice cream.. if it's too late to go for a ride, then we just use that chat time to plan a ride for another day.. but that's just me.

Really it's not like you want to go for a 30 bike ride anyway..

Luc,

Did you get your bike all fixed up?

Oh yea, wasn't much to fix.. just a mirror and the rear brake pedal.. good as new! Been out a few times on it since.
 
Personally 630 will be tight since I'm a commuter. That said, if you're going to be around for at least 30-45 min I can arrive late.
 
If anyone is free tonight, I'm headed out with another rider to do some normal on-road stuff (taking the Ninja, I promise there will be no single track ;) around 6pm. Meeting at the Tim's at 400/Innisfil Beach for 6pm, holding there till 6:30.
 
Bummer I don't get off work until 7 or I would definatly be out tonight :(
 
I agree I vote for Thursday's at 6:30 at Kawartha Dairy on Anne, even if we say 6:30-7:00 to get those later commuters and anywone who wants to ride can head out and those of us addicted to ice cream will stay and see how you eat an ice cream cone in a full face helmet!!! :lmao:

May be able to come out but wont make it there till 7:30-8pm
 
Hey everyone, I signed up a year ago hoping to attend one of the group rides, but never could since I worked during the afternoons, or didn't feel experienced enough to join a group ride. Nevertheless, once you guys decide on a firm location and time, I hope I'll make it.
