I hate posting a "ride" here in the watering hole, but I am looking for maximum exposure to the locals of this area.. Hope this is OK..

 

Sunday May 19, suppose to reach mid 50's for temp, I am planning on at least a 5 hour tour(maybe longer). Starting at Tim Hortons in Smithville(10 am) and perhaps running out to Niagara on the lake, then back to the escarpment, along some not so well known beautiful roads, then along the Grand river close to Brantford, then across a few more hidden treasure roads to get to Ancaster, then finish up in Dundas..So let me know if your interested, either here,email,private message, whatever..

Sounds like it will be a real nice ride, might run into you when you're around Brantford. Going to worship first thing in the morning, as always, so we're never ready 'til 1pm anyways. Have a good ride.

Hey Dr.Nemo:

 

Like Carl we will be in church on Sunday morning but would be ready to ride around 1:00. If we know when you are coming through Caledonia on the way to Brantford we would love to join you. Sounds like a GREAT time.

Sorry about the "Sunday" ride, but its the only day so far that doesn't have rain...

I heard it was to be Monday...so I'll be watching the forecast...would like to come along. If I'm not on time, don't wait.

If there is a slight chance of rain, Swifty won't make it ! :sign20:

 

We can not make it Sunday but if something is up Monday we might be able.

Gotta love spring weather forcasting... Yes Monday is looking good now too, less chance of showers and a little more wind but more sun as well.. I will check the weather network tomorrow and if the ride gets changed to Monday I will repost and email/pm everyone who responded in here..

Bring on summer, with our 2 week stretch of hot hazy humid sunny weather, much easier for planning.

Hope there's no cloud in the sky, or you'll loose your way and end up back in KW.

I'm tied up for the morning picking up my trailer from Braeside where my daughter has it for the weekend and then the afternoon is planned to do a dry run with Wayne for the Saturday ride, So no, not at this time.

I am planning on being there, just trying to round up some people to come with. Not sure I can stay the whole trip, but at least part of it. I am trying to bring some friends, and I assume they will be welcome too. See ya all tomorrow!

Trying to round up people to ride in this kinda cool weather may be tuff...However I have faith in our local riders and I WILL BE THERE..(might be in a snowsuit) but I will be there 10 am... I too am trying to round up some other guys...I should have 2 others but maybe 4 depends how hardy the Harley riders are....hehe...

The "Niagara on the Lake" part of this ride has been cut... So it will be touring a few nice roads around Welland/Fonthill, then on to Canboro road towards Haldimand area, Brantford, Ancaster and still ending in Dundas..

 

No full face helmuts aloud....LOL

Well Carl, the good Doctor's Niagara ride put to rest any rumours you heard and any others started (ahem...BradT) about me only riding in the best of conditions...rain, wicked cross winds, freezing temps....OOO-AAH....as far as us real Ventureriders were concerned it was just another great day in May for an ad-venture along the escapment and down by the river...and no bugs to boot!!

:thumbsup2:

Hit the link and add 7 degrees celcius and 40 km/hr winds..to see what it was like.....Plus you would have to factor the speed of the Motorcycle, plus the adjustment for damp clothing from the few raindrops we saw...

 

Calculate Wind Chill given Celsius & Kilometers Per Hour

My thanks to swifty for showing up..!!! I at least had "someone" to ride with on my one day a week away from the wife and kids...:thumbsup:

 

Maybe next time, for the fair weather riders/ and the sleepy ones too...
