I have a busier than normal week going on right now, if anything I can maybe get out for an evening ride, 2-3hrs, but unfortunately it would only be a last minute thing so cannot say what night or at what time right now. I am looking forward to meeting up so we can put together a plan of attack for the next ride/coming weekend so I will keep an eye here if anyone is heading out and will post up as soon as I know I can get out too.

I'm likely going out for a day or two thurs/fri, just exploring. If I make it a day trip (or two) and anyone wants to come along I can update with planned route etc. (pretty flexible).
 
I am officially SOL in regards to riding any week days (Thurs/Fri.) and even evening rides are going to be closer to 11pm.
Saturday and Sunday I am free and will be doing a day ride on one of 'em. So far Saturday looks to be the better day but I'm flexible and can suit the group if anyone else wants to join. I have an approx. 9-10hr route in mind but again I'm flexible. Saving the next northern ride for Owens return so this one will be heading E/S/E.
PM or post if interested and we will come up with a plan.:thumbright:

Saturday looks like a go for me!

I will prob have to cut out early though as I have an appt @ GP....

Looking forward to the Eastern Route!!
 
Next weekend should be good for me. I need to work on my track bike for Mosport next week.
Sometimes, two old bikes is too much work. If you add the age of both bikes it equals 45 years!!!

Let me know if the ride is on, but it will also be a last minute thing.

Hey I missed the last ride. Thinking of checking it out tomorrow morning, just have to service my bike chain before i go. Did you encounter any problems with the road conditions that i should be aware of? Road construction and other hazards?

OK. Lets get this rolling, Famous Sam's (Woodbine/Stouffville Rd.) 8:30am bacon&coffee, 9:00am stand up. Sound good?
We will see how the day goes and if you need a ride back from GP we will incorporate it into the route and I will give you a ride home (and we will never speak of this day again!) Do you have a time or is it a just drop it off on Saturday before closing deal?

I can't help you on this one. Although I was there for the entire ride I still do not know what roads we took or where we went. It was awesome!

Again,
Sat. July 9th
8:30 meet
9am stand up.
Woodbine/Stouffville Rd. - Famous Sams
Heading - East(ish)
PM or post if interested or have questions/ideas.
 
dang, i just saw this. I'm not sure if i could make it. It will be a last minute for me. At least its my weekend off, so no faking illness for now. ROFL. Ill post and text dave to confirm.
 


Thanks for the PM,

my wife and I are in.

See you at Famous Sams.


After brief introductions we mounted our iron steeds and headed "East(ish)"...


Our journey started through some farmland and twisties. A little tough for my tank of a bike but we kept the pace.

We zipped through Musselman's Lake...

and stopped in Port Perry for a coffee and a rest. After some chit chat we were back on the road.

We then continued eastward down some awesome deserted backroads...

Rice lake (near Bewdley) can be seen in the distance.

The roads were way cool past Castleton. We barely saw any traffic!

After a quick pit stop near Brighton we continued to Carrying Place and Prince Edward County. The countryside was full of orchards, vineyards, and Bed and Breakfast houses.
A great place for a future ride - including an overnight stay and wine tasting! Hmmmm...that gives me an idea??

Through more twisty and deserted backroads we ended up in Picton to fuel ourselves and our beasts.

The scenery was fantastic!

From Picton we continued eastward to....

After a well deserved break and photos we continued on.

The 600 km round trip was a blast, now we are back in Toronto.

It was a safe and fun group to ride with - nice meeting and riding with you today!

....yes I can say.... "I'm still in the Game".


Till next time.

Hey, thanks for the photos. I guess the photographer has to hang on in the corners.:p
That was a fantastic ride, I really enjoyed it and with so many route options in getting to Prince Edward County each trip could be so different so I'm already looking forward to the next ride out there. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife and riding with familiar friends again.
It was ashame the other "Gamers" had to cancel last minute as I know they would have enjoyed this ride,........ but there is the excuse I need to go back right there.:thumbup:
 
Irwin and Monica, thanks for the pictures and the quintessential narrative of our ride. Great to have your acquaintance and hope to see you again.
Dave, another great route and safe ride. Murray, thanks for all the dust and pebbles you threw my way on one of those nasty roads. I know you were exploiting your dual-sport bike's advantages. :-) Yes, I am glad to be part of the "still in the game" riders.
 
Once again.........shall we start thinking about " Still in the Game " ride 6??


Saturday ??

507 - Haliburton - etc???
 
Although chances look good I can't say for certain that I will have Saturday free. If so I'm good for any destination. I'm even good to do a re-run of the Huntsville/Rosseau loop or a return to Prince Edward County, (wanna try a new route to get there).
I should know by tonight if I can make it.
 
Although I myself am only 90% certain I can make it out Saturday for a ride it would be great if anyone one interested started throwing their names in the hat. Some from this group have missed certain rides (which may still be an option) and a large group as opposed to a smaller group does make a difference in choosing the best way to get to any destination.

I will probably be heading out for a ride later tonight (Thursday evening) at around 10-10:30ish. I hope to know by then if Saturday is a go or not.
If anyone close by (York Region?) wants to join me for some local roads and a late night decaf. post or PM for my text #.
