  • XSNorth 2010

    Not worthy or ready but they keep bugging me so here we go with XSNorth 2010 Current plan is to head for the East side of Georgian Bay and explore the roads of the Muskoka region. WHEN I hear you all cry

    Okay that was me.

    And I wasn't crying, I was wining.

    Firstly, I second the motion for Muskoka area.
    Secondly, the first long weekend of July (Canada July 1st/ USA July 4th) sounded like a good time for it.
    Thirdly, I'd like to nominate Huron52 (Tom) as route planner.
    Fourthly, I would be willing to take the abuse for T shirts this year unless Hamjam is still up for the job. ( WARNING!!! I still want a Tshirt that says Monkee Butt Rally on it somewhere)
    Fifthly, I nominate MaximPhil to find food and lodgings
    Sixthly, let me know if I can help out in any way besides pestering.
    Seventhly, I plan on attending.

    As you can see, I've hardly been putting any thinking into this at all.

      Hi Rick,
      I knew you would be first That is a long list but I will try and do my part. Muskoka Monkey Butt Rally has a nice ring now that you mention it

          so far, with the current list of respondees, I'd consider changing the rally name to Muskoka Monkey Face Rally......

            If you want to google, use Huntsville Ontario as a idea. It is a good hike once you cross the border. And the roads are,... well ok.

                Thanks Tom...its only about 975 miles(one way) according to Google which is always in error when it comes to their mileage calculations. Most likely I wont be coming this year...especially if I am working...just not enough time...

                        Earl... Huntsville is just a suggestion for calculating mileage not yet the set location...but by my calculations is only 975 miles for me (one way)

                          Hi Earl,
                          Thank you for your interest. More pressure to get this organized
                          I expect you could shave off the 22 minutes

                            Firstly, I second the motion for Muskoka area.
                            I agree, fine neighborhood. Besides if it rains we can all huddle in Huron52's living room and drink beer and tell lies...

                            Secondly, the first long weekend of July (Canada July 1st/ USA July 4th) sounded like a good time for it.
                            I agree if'n you guys have fireworks.

                            Thirdly, I'd like to nominate Huron52 (Tom) as route planner.
                            Good also. Just keep us out of Quebec. I know only 3 words in French and they wouldn't like any of them!

                            Fourthly, I would be willing to take the abuse for T shirts this year unless Hamjam is still up for the job.
                            Even if you don't wear a T-shirt, we'll happily abuse ya, Big Daddy!

                            Fifthly, I nominate MaximPhil to find food and lodgings
                            Is this a good idea? He only has one requirement - "Do you serve beer?" Phil says "After enough beer sleep comes naturally....."


                            Sixthly, let me know if I can help out in any way besides pestering.
                            Seventhly, I plan on attending.
                            As you can see, I've hardly been putting any thinking into this at all.

                              Hi Marty,
                              We have already got Huron 52 working on routes. His house is miles from Muskoka so no beers on his patio. I have started to look for accomodation and so far all too expensive $135 per night is too rich for my meagre income. Yes we will make something happen. Goodto see so many people want to come already.
