Sat June 9- Ride 507/elephant lake/algonquin
- Thread starter el_felo
- Start date
I wouldn't go fast on the 507, anyway. To actually push your bike in the corners you'd need to be going about 2x the limit. That plus it being a larger major route should put the common sense in people's heads not to push your luck on it. Just seems like a rural highway that the opp would be traveling often.

Many a ticket have been written on the 507 due to this forum. Belive it
Yes you're absolutely right!! Listen to "boooya" he knows more than you (alhope34)believe me.;-)
See main post for info.
OK so here is the answers to all your questions:
Meet up spot:
http://goo.gl/maps/JuDU
As suggested by some and due to the length of the ride and trying to avoid inner city traffic we are meeting outside of the city.
We are leaving from 48 and (Major MacKenzie Road at 9:30 am sharp! have a FULL TANK!!!
FRQ - Frequently ride questions
1) is it 2up friendly?
well, if you are your 2up can stay on a bike for 10 hours then yes.
2) I noticed you mentioned 250cc, I have a 600cc can I come?
sure but we are riding relaxed not spirited.
3) When do you think we will be back?
I am hoping to leave the meetup spot at 9:30 am, and based on google the route is 10 hours 30 minuted. Add up stops for lunch break, gas, and to strech then do the math. I am sorry if this seems a bit rude, but I can not say we will be back at 6pm when we may not.
4) I want to come but plan to leave the ride half way, is that cool?
It is, just be sure to let me know in advanced, I am not looking to leave anyone behind and if I notice someone is missing the entire group will turn around/wait until we find him/her, its a group ride!. Otherwise, I do the ride solo I have no problem giving you the route.
5) Is this spirited or relaxed?
I plan to do a relax ride, I am not looking for speeding tickets and some of the roads we are taking will have cops. I am doing this in hopes of taking some people up this area since they have never gone that way on the bike.

Have you ever done a 10 hour day on a Ninja 250? You're in for a world of hurt hommie.
I've done 13 hours. It isn't so bad. I was even 265 lbs at the time.

I'm afraid to ask, but why and where did you need to spend 13 hours on a Ninja 250?
Hahaha I did 2x days of 8hours each no problem. 10 hours google is usually 8 hours in real time and I am just used to it.
As to why so long on a ninja easy, I live in Toronto, the nice and fun roads are far and you need to put up with some pain to enjoy scenic and twisties

When I did the MSF there was a guy similar to your build (used to play football) and it started raining. so he bought one of the rainsuits the course offers in the biggest size they had, and it didn't fit him.
maybe a garbage might work? lol

you guys are so bad!, anyways we will see how the weather moves up to Friday ..
Personally, I would much rather reschedule the ride than taking it in the rain, I have no problem riding with rain (with/without gear), but I think this is a long distance ride and can be mentally exhausting. If we were to add rain to it, then that would make it much more difficult for the riders, I want to make sure we all come back!.
