XV1100SE Posted December 28, 2018 #1 Posted December 28, 2018 I've put a place holder in the calendar for the 2019 Ontario rally. July 18th to 21st. Location to be finalized
Marcarl Posted December 29, 2018 #2 Posted December 29, 2018 What happened to the 22nd???? Why have the get-together if it doesn't include the 22nd? I'm having real troubles trying to understand this.

I'm having real troubles trying to understand this. the 22nd the 22nd the 22nd the 22nd I give up .....what could possibly be so special about the 22nd I got it that's when we all line up for ice cream before we go home Oh wait silly me Ice cream day is on Sat the 21st Nope any significance for the 22nd totally eludes me.

RDawson Posted December 29, 2018 #4 Posted December 29, 2018 Sounds like a big hint for cake on the 22nd.
Marcarl Posted December 29, 2018 #5 Posted December 29, 2018 Sounds like a big hint for cake on the 22nd. Now that makes perfect sense!!!
saddlebum Posted December 31, 2018 #6 Posted December 31, 2018 Sounds like a big hint for cake on the 22nd.Sure just play right into @Marcarls hands ....
dogman Posted January 2, 2019 #7 Posted January 2, 2019 I've put a place holder in the calendar for the 2019 Ontario rally. July 18th to 21st. Location to be finalized Unbelievable Don. 3 years running, and I will miss this event again. We will be in Ireland during that time. I wish great weather and know the company will be great. Have fun everyone that attends, and those thinking about it should definitely make the decision to go.
XV1100SE Posted January 2, 2019 Author #8 Posted January 2, 2019 What happened to the 22nd????.... Something special about July 22nd ? Someone's birthday? Several NHL players were born on July 22nd.....https://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthdays.cgi?month=7&day=22 There is a movie called "22 July" about an attack in Norway... Other than that.....what is so significant about July 22nd ? 7/22/2019.....adds up 2048....
Scifiman Posted January 2, 2019 #9 Posted January 2, 2019 I will pencil that weekend on my calendar, is this the one that is usually staged in Minden? Or maybe I have them mixed up, will await further details. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Marcarl Posted January 3, 2019 #11 Posted January 3, 2019 Not sure yet where it will be this year, still trying to get Don and Carl together to figure this out. But we are looking to make this happen, maybe just a day later than posted.
XV1100SE Posted January 3, 2019 Author #12 Posted January 3, 2019 No....won't be extended until July 22nd. Could be a separate party at Carl's on the Monday.
Marcarl Posted January 4, 2019 #13 Posted January 4, 2019 No....won't be extended until July 22nd. Could be a separate party at Carl's on the Monday. Are you suggesting to party without me???? that could be a low blow.
XV1100SE Posted January 4, 2019 Author #14 Posted January 4, 2019 Are you suggesting to party without me???? If you throw the party.....I'm sure someone will come. Anyone? That's why I suggested that the party is at your house on the Monday....following the rally.

XV1100SE Posted January 8, 2019 Author #16 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Location confirmed! Calendar entry - https://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=512&day=2019-7-18 This will be the fourth annual Ontario VentureRiders rally. First two years were in Minden, Ontario and last year in Niagara Falls. This year, we are returning to Minden. Great roads for riding, very friendly proprietor at the motel/campground (Ray), and of course, amazing hosts in Marca and I.....and Carl. We will be based out of Ray's Place (formerly Southwind Motel and Campground). - map - https://www.google.ca/maps/place/6254+Haliburton+County+Rd+121,+Minden,+ON+K0M+2K0/@44.876095,-78.704515,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cd5103bc9179c63:0xb625b 283699f931a!8m2!3d44.876095!4d-78.702321 - web site for motel/camping - http://www.rayzplace.ca/index.html - facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/LetsGoToRaysPlace/ (you'll see he has some highly rated ATV trails) - there is a pool and volleyball court, and a good food trailer (had really good fish 'n chips) - Book your motel room (16 available), RV, cottage, camp site, or trailer site as soon as possible - 75-286-2152 - Ray’s Place Rates : (this is in CDN $.... so much less for the U.S. members when you consider U.S. to CDN exchange rate)Room with 1 queen $80 Room with 2 queens and kitchenette $96 RV is $96 Room with 1 queen and kitchen $84 For camping suggest you ask for the upper field area) No services is $30 15 amp site with water is $35 30 amp site with water is $40 2 bedroom cottage with 4 beds $159 These are daily rates and are plus HST, 13 percent. Member check-in on the Thursday although Carl and I will arrive on Wednesday July 17th so feel free to arrive early. We'll plan local rides for the Friday and Saturday with a group breakfast on the Sunday. Provided there are no fire bans, we'll have a camp fire in the evenings. One other thing....for those that want to celebrate Carl's birthday on Monday July 22nd... you might want to stay an extra day. Edited January 8, 2019 by XV1100SE
EtRider Posted March 24, 2019 #20 Posted March 24, 2019 Double Bump- Hope to get more of the "South of the Canadian Border" riders to join us this year. We always have a great time.
XV1100SE Posted May 6, 2019 Author #21 Posted May 6, 2019 Please note that the Ontario rally will be cancelled for this year.
XV1100SE Posted May 6, 2019 Author #24 Posted May 6, 2019 We had a total of 10 people signed up for it (with Carl and I accounting for 4 of those 10). With multiple "bumps", there hasn't been enough interest/sign-ups for it this year. I expressed my concerns to Carl and agreed to cancel it.
saddlebum Posted May 11, 2019 #25 Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) well that makes for a sad State of Affairs but I guess if you can't get the numbers then there's not much else you can do. Edited May 12, 2019 by saddlebum
