Wizard765 Posted June 26, 2010 #1 Posted June 26, 2010 So if folks want to come along. We are planning an all day ride starting in Kitchener and going to Muskoka. If you were at the international in Kitchener it would be very similar to the ride we did then. Just nailing down the particulars.. like where to meet. Should be on the road by 8:30 so meet at 8:00 to get organized. Anyone Interested?? Wayne
Eugene Posted June 26, 2010 #2 Posted June 26, 2010 Depending on the route and pit stops, I could meet up part way. Which day are you thinking - Thursday or the weekend?

Guest Swifty Posted June 27, 2010 #5 Posted June 27, 2010 where are you stopping at the Muskoka's? perhaps the Deerhurst Inn? :hihi:
Marcarl Posted June 27, 2010 #6 Posted June 27, 2010 So how many hours are we talking with this ride, what time do we expect to be back in KW if we do the full thing?
Wizard765 Posted June 27, 2010 Author #7 Posted June 27, 2010 So far the plan would be Lunch in Bala... It will be an ALL DAY RIDE. For most of the ride at the Muskoka end we will not be too far from the Hwy if anyone wanted to bail. I cannot give a time we will be back because when I try to do that it always gets messed up depending on how many riders we have. If I was riding it myself I'd expect to be back around 7 or 8 PM. With a group it Always takes longer.

Wizard765 Posted June 28, 2010 Author #9 Posted June 28, 2010 Yes I can shorten it somewhat but I don't want to remove some aspects... It would take away from the purpose of the ride... If for some reason we get too late we can hop on the HWY to get home sooner... Wayne
CdnDave77 Posted June 28, 2010 #10 Posted June 28, 2010 ... but the boss (Jane) is working that day and I have the two little ones.. Enjoy your ride fellas.. weather looks perfect.

If I was riding with Swifty I'd expect to be back around 7 or 8 PM. With a group that Carl leads it always takes longer. Wizard, I'm working on doing this one, might be long shot though, will keep in touch. Weather is looking great for the most part...more chance of rain into the Haliburtons, but not the Muskokas.
Midicat Posted June 28, 2010 #12 Posted June 28, 2010 I won't be joining you since I'll be in Amherstburg, ON with the family raising money for Autism Ontario at the Ice Cream Festival! I think maybe your route is going in the wrong direction. LOL
Wizard765 Posted June 29, 2010 Author #13 Posted June 29, 2010 Ok here we go.. Meeting 8 AM at the Pioneer BBQ (I actually know where that is). Please come with a full tank and ready to ride. Stopping in Mono Mills (corner of Airport Rd and Hwy 9) for fuel and coffee. Should be in Mono Mills by 10:30 if anyone wants to join us at that point. Bala for lunch.. This will be a long ride and through some amazing countryside. Part of the ride will be through one of the twistiest roads I know of in Ontario. I'm not a daredevil so this twisty will NOT be pegscraping but it IS BEAUTIFUL.... Wayne
Eugene Posted June 30, 2010 #14 Posted June 30, 2010 Hoping to get my front tire replaced tomorrow - if so, I'll meet up in Mono Mills and ride to Bala for lunch - then head back as Lorie's grandkids will be visiting that night. If the front tire is not done by the end of tomorrow, I'll have to pass and wish you all a safe ride - weather sounds magnificent!!! Cheers Eugene
Evan Posted June 30, 2010 #15 Posted June 30, 2010 Hey Wayne - I may hold off my ride north for a day in order to join you Thursday morning, probably at Mono Mills, for part of your day ride. If so, I would leave you probably somewhere near Bracebridge/Huntsville in order to head further north to our cottage on Lake Nipissing. Will let you know as soon as possible. Currently planning on riding further north to the Biker's Reunion at New Liskeard on Friday.
chabicheka Posted June 30, 2010 #16 Posted June 30, 2010 i will 'try' and meet up with you folks at airport rd- hwy 9. will try to be there at 10 am. do not wait for me please if i am not there for any reason...
Guest Swifty Posted June 30, 2010 #17 Posted June 30, 2010 Ok here we go.. Meeting 8 AM at the Pioneer BBQ (I actually know where that is). ...well for those of us who don't, at least give us a city as a hint. A street address would even be easier. Remember some of us will be on holidays without our thinking caps on.
Marcarl Posted June 30, 2010 #18 Posted June 30, 2010 ...well for those of us who don't, at least give us a city as a hint. A street address would even be easier. Remember some of us will be on holidays without our thinking caps on. That would be in Kitchener, on hi-way #8, Sports World Drive, close to the 401, used to be the Tu-Lane Restaurant, almost in Preston.
Marcarl Posted June 30, 2010 #19 Posted June 30, 2010 We will be ready at 7 am to leave our place in Brantford, and head for the Pioneer in Kitchener to be there at 8 am,,,,, any body joining us? As usual, we plan on being a little late so we should be leaving by 7:30 in order to arrive at the appointed spot for 8:15, it's only about a half hour ride,,, if we start on time,,,,,,,

thecount Posted June 30, 2010 #21 Posted June 30, 2010 Wayne Thanks for taking the lead pilot role on this. WE, the Count and Countess, Steve and Michele will be on the trip and at Pioneer for 8:00 am. For people travelling in, there is a TIM Horton right beside Pioneer, and if you need more, there is a McDonalds across the street, if your stomach can handle McD's at that time of the A.M. Weather is looking incredible and looking forward to a great ride day. Steve
relic Posted June 30, 2010 #22 Posted June 30, 2010 Hi Wayne: I think we will join you tommorrow but we will meet you on Hwy 9. I assume you are talking about the Tim Hortens just west of the corner on hwy 9
