Hey everyone! I'm looking to do a day-long ride tomorrow. I'm thinking Toronto-Peterborough-Kawartha area-Bancroft-Huntsville. If time permits, then come back down through the scenic Muskoka routes.

This is an easy paced ride - it's my first season, so I am still learning A LOT of things. I did this same ride (including the Muskoka) in about 10 hours (750km) but because I was solo, the stops were pretty short.

So this is what i did last weekend and what I have in mind. Anyone interested?

where are you meeting?
Time?

Thanks
 
RockerGuy: I live at Leslie and Sheppard so naturally I'd meet in my area or East of it.

I did the exact same route last Saturday. Took about 10 hours and I consider myself a beginner (first season), so it's definitely doable in one day (unless it starts raining or smthing). I left around 8:30 in the morning and got back way before sunset. I'm debating going solo, but if anyone else is interested, I'd like to go.

Thoughts?
 
Ok, so where is the meeting spot and what time?
 
What time do you figure you'll be passing by the Ganaraska Forest? Currently camping there but was planning similar length ride tomorrow. I could probably meet you at a gas station on the 115 by Orono somewhere.

Ya, approx time??
Am considering tagging along.

Route looks like a nice casual afternoon's ride.
 
I'll be making a solo run. If u guys see me, I'll be on a blue/white gsxr 750.

Cheers
 
I'll be heading out tomorrow whenever I decide to get up. If you see a guy on a clapped out flat black streetfighter wearing a kawi green arai. Join in if you want.

I've changed the route up a bit to add in a couple roads that looked interesting in mapsource. So who knows what'll happen.:evil1:

Haha, I'll keep an eye out.
I also made some adjustment to that map. Cut it short and avoiding Peterborough. Like to ride but my wrist is gonna hurt. I'm getting old, lol.
 
Damn, I was hoping to head up to the kawarthas some time this weekend but I've got plans tomorrow evening and don't want to be wiped out before the festivities. Maybe I'll join for the first part and head home from Minden Hills... I'll keep an eye on this thread for the next hour or so
 
Hey everyone! Wow, I'm surprised at the interest I got for this ride on such short notice! I need to organize stuff better next time :))

Ok, so let's do this:

I will leave my house around 8am and will try to get to Peterborough area as soon as I can (ie - 401/115).

I will stop at 115 and The Parkway (right at the entrance to Peterborough). I think there's a tim hortons there:

I'll have my coffee and breakfast there and then check again this thread and my messages. Here's my phone number: let's text in the morning and see where everyone is and where to meet:

four-one-six four-five-six eight-nine-nine-seven. My name is Catalin

I hope to see y'all tomorrow :D
 
So basically between 9:15 and 10 am let's meet at that location near Peterborough (115/The parkway) if you can make it. I have a black/red EX500 and I'll have a backpack most likely with me. Either way I'll check again this thread and my text messages when I get there.
 
ok I'll do my best to wake my azz up and sleep in sunday instead but no guarantees. If I get up I'll shoot you a txt but if you don't hear from me by the time you reach Timmies it means I'm still snoozing :sleepy2:

Btw, I'll be the asian dude with the blue RR

Yes there is a Tims on the left side of the Parkway just as you get off HWY 115.

Exit 115 N right onto Parkway. Ramp goes under 115/7 hwy. Go through 1st traffic light (when green lol). Left at 2nd traffic light. Tims a good stone's throw to left.

See ya.
