myminpins Posted August 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) We love to go for rides with others but it's not always easy to hook up and arrange things. If anyone would be interested in going for a ride with us this weekend, let me know - phone and email are in my profile or just post here. By the way, I'm 46 and Mike's 43. We like to stop for breaks, have meals, enjoy the scenery. We will NOT be taking the highways. We will NOT be speeding more than 10 km over the posted limit (Mike drives for a living, ticket's not worth it). We go for rides for fun, not a speed race. (Had to say it, so many around here seem to love to ZOOOOM and we don't ) We don't smoke but I generally like to stop every hour to two hours max for at least 20 mins to a half hour. I am a morning person, though, so I like to get going early and be back by suppertime so we can feed our dogs though it's not written in stone!! We're considering leaving here around 8:30 tomorrow morning from Dartmouth then to Windsor to Berwick to Chester Basin and back, cutting through on the Aylesford Road. If anyone wants to come, let us know!!! ALL WELCOME!! WEATHER PERMITTING, of course.

Black Owl Posted August 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2011 Sounds like you have a fun day planned out. Now, if I knew what a Nova Scotia was.... Isn't that someplace near the end of the work as we know it? Do they even have paved roads out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myminpins Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted August 19, 2011 LOL I had to look up your flag (hover mouse on it) to figure out where you were!! A Nova Scotia is one of the most gorgeous provinces in Canada, on the far east coast by the Atlantic Ocean. I've lived here all my life and love it.

Black Owl Posted August 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2011 Wasn't the old Singing Ranger from out that way somewhere? Seem to remember he was out of Scova Notia. Or was he a Newfie. Same same I guess :rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myminpins Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted August 19, 2011 Don't you know Nova Scotians are just displaced Newfies? Heck, Newfies are the salt of the earth, best people on the planet. I'd love to take a trip over there some day. Stupid ferry is long and expensive, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myminpins Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted August 19, 2011 Yes, doing the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton is a great trip!! If you come up this way next year, be sure to come by if you can. We'd love to meet people from away and are always happy to act as tour guide if we can.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted August 19, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome to VR! Sounds like a great route you have planned! I would love to be able to ride with you guys but cant get there in time. Ive been in NS lots of times, and love the place. My ex is from there and my ex brother in law still lives in Dartmouth so I still get out there once in a while to visit them. I hope you find some friends here to go for a ride with and get that new Venture christened properly as they need friends around to really run right, you know.....lol! I think Seaking is from the Halifax/DM area, but I am not sure. mabbe do a look in the Community tab and see who is around. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Posted August 21, 2011 Share #16 Posted August 21, 2011 I would love to go for a ride with you, especially if there is lobster involved. The only problem is all that flat land in the way, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
