I have 90 herspers and 1/2" chicken strips. The pace is "hey guys wait for me!"

Reminded me of this video.

Reminder/bump
I'll be at the Milton Starbucks around 10:30,

Then Silvecreek coffee in downtown Georgetown sometime after, maybe 11:15 but
Stopping there for a bit for a coffee.

The coffee at Silver Creek was good. The traffic on every road was not.

Nice end to my ride today though. Good to see you guys.

Thanks for coming out today!

Some things we saw today:
- Autocross at Casino Mohawk, a hilariously poor and ungroomed parking lot for such an event.
- Terracota inaccessible from Winston Churchill, didn’t know until we were met with an apocalypse sized road barrier.
- Nice Mk4 Supra at Forks of the Credit, HUGE turbo, poor guy blew a coolant hose just as he arrived. Hope he got home ok.
- 6+ street Rossi’s who were too impatient with [mention]fmp [/mention] and myself and the 4 cars ahead of us, nearly causing several head on collisions as they group passed us all over several blind crests

Thanks to [mention]Gary [/mention] [mention]fmp [/mention] and [mention]Soulcatcher668 [/mention] for the rides this weekend.

That's terrifying. Glad I missed that part of the ride.

@Wind Shear here's the reason for your wait...

Man drowns near Burlington lift bridge

Pronounced dead after being taken to hospital by Halton Region paramedics

[Relax]

There's always a long wait for that bridge once it needs to be raised. It's like train tracks - most of the time you go right over without stopping, but if you ever have to stop, it feels like forever (unless it's a GO Train).

Police do not believe the incident was connected to the Sound of Music festival.

Sad story but I find that note hard to believe. I rode around the festival on my way down, it looked crazy busy.
My delay was much earlier in the day, just a boat

Thanks to Gary for guiding me all around Hamilton and Niagara region backroads.
Then we had some gas station ice cream.
Then he got to witness me get hopelessly lost, and blow a stop sign.
I enjoyed it anyway, and hopefully that oopsie didn’t leave (too much) a bad impression

What about me missing Ridge Rd?
Ya.
That was on purpose because I love making u-turns on the elephant.
How tall do you think that turkey was?

Oh yeah forgot about that. Big enough that you would be picking feathers out of the bike for the rest of the weekend.
