Southern Ontario Riders

Suothern Ontario Riders

In a weak moment I agreed to start this thread for the discussion of forthcoming rides in and around Southern Ontario.
The purpose here is to keep us sane as the snowplow just went by my house and left a mountain at the bottom of the drive.
HamJam Big Daddy Funk and I were thinking of some local destinations we would like to ride to this summer.
Do we have to wait until we have actually gone somewhere before we choose a name for our group?

ride down east

I have been thinking of a similiar journey in the future . Something with plenty of stops and sight seeing .No rush .
I would like to know if you were heading out around Ontario as well . I would be interested . I am 100km west of Ottawa on Highway 17 . Lots of hilly , woodland riding around here . Across the Park to Huntsville is great . Some excellent riding around there too .

Thank you

That is one of my favourite rides . I love that area . I used to live up there and I visit often . I was in Hardwood Lake and Palmer Rapids last Spring when the lakes were still frozen over .
That was just like being there in this winter wait-over . Thanks man

[hamjam]

its all good I would like to get together with you and the Ottawa area guys maybe using Bancroft as a base for a weekend ride sometime .

Sounds good to me . About 2 hours to Bancroft .I pass through on my way to the GTA each year but I have not done a lot of riding around that area . I hear there are some dandy roads . It would be worth getting a room and being there for a fresh start some Saturday morning . If you were coming this way I would definately meet you . Might be a little far for the Ottawa guys but maybe not if we made a weekend out of it ! This is a great idea . I'm excited about it .

[blue giant]

I'd be interested in a ride like that too!

Thanks Axel, now I'm excited too!

East coast trip

HI Axel, I'm Thinking of July or August for the trip. You're more that welcome to ride along all or part way. If you are thinking of a solo trip you might want to speak with Hamjam. He did the trip last year.
Keep me in the loop for the up north ride and I'll see what I can do.
I am scheduled to attend the Bikers reunion rally (cancer charity event) in New Liskerd July 3rd and maybe July4th if it is fun. After that who knows?

bike runs
