For those confirmed coming tomorrow. I plan to leave my house at 6:30am and be at Innisfil for 7:30am. I hope to leave Innisfil and start the ride as close as possible to 8am, so please be on time - myself included

When we get to Huntsville (Lions Lookout), we can figure out if we have time to hit up Arrowhead Park, or if we are running behind then we can skip it and head over to Oxtongue Rapids.

It might be good to bring a pair of shoes with you. I'll have my side cases on and can store food/drinks or shoes if it helps anyone.
It's going to be a beautiful day out for riding and fall colours!

Perfect riding weather today! Damn wish I could’ve gone.

Thanks Shane, sorry I bailed out early. I had to drop by home for quick dinner. I appreciate a lot. This was extremely fun and the pace was so good that it felt like a real riding.

Was a great ride, colours were popping, weather perfect too.

Thanks for setting this up Shane.

Likewise. Home just after 6:30, so mission accomplished. 11/400 were of course goofy. Finally bailed the 400 north of #9 and found a few concessions of gravel with very little gravel (120KPHish stuff) that spit me on side road #15 east of Orangeville. It was very nice.

Thanks again Shane. Great ride. Look forward to more.

Yes, thanks for organizing and leading Shane! It was a great day. 755km for me

Nice to ride with you all today - that was great and just what I needed.

Having missed the Oxtongue Rapids part, it would be pretty nice to go back there when it's not busy and do a ride involving a few different short walks to check out waterfalls and rapids up north.

Some pics

Looks great, and what a perfect day!
Too bad about oxtongue. My buddy owns the lot where the rapids meet the lake. He's up there building something atm, and I warned him y'all would be there today.

Is that a cb1 I'm seeing?

It was a good call to skip it, because all the popular spots were really busy. We all pretty much got home around dark and if we did that we would have had to skip some pretty fun roads and spend way more time on the highway. So it's all good and now there's a reason to go back out!

And yeah it was such a beautiful day to be out riding today.

Pleasure to ride with you all today! Made it home a quarter after 6 with some daylight to spare

Thanks for setting this up today Shane, appreciate it as always! Love the pics everyone

Yessir, that's me

Yes it was a cb1. That thing looked like tons of fun.

Really enjoyed the ride today but i'm spent now. 9 hours 15 minutes riding. Was on and off the bike from 6 am till 7:15pm

Yikes.

Shane, thank you so much, this was one of if not my best ride ever, even though it was a bit "painful" near the end, my bike is not a touring bike. Great group of well behaved, like-minded gentlemen on the road!

EDIT) Posted the pics below in an album for those who can't see it:

Lol that's awesome! And you can do the others when you have another day to go riding
That Huckleberry Rock lookout had a lot more hiking available and we also got a bit lost on our way back. It was well worth it though and I would definitely go back to that spot.

Beautiful pics! And a great turnout..

Though earlier intended, I couldn't be a part of this ride today.

Hopefully, the colors shall remain to be enjoyed throughout October.

Came up the number 7 from the Big Smoke. Leaves were nice, traffic was brutal.
