gobills Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I know its early but i think its time to plan a big Friday or Saturday ride in February and try and get as many of us together for a nice ride and lunch. I know most people probably have the big trips already booked so we can try and figure out when would be a good time. Conditions will strongly impact this but based on the past few winters conditions seem to be the best in early feb. Just want to see if there is interest in this maybe we can try and get something going. Let me know what everyone thinks. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm interested! From experience, a suggestion would be to find a location with accommodations and food so that participants can stay over and extend the experience if they choose. Good luck.

slomo Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just blue skying here..... One of the best ones was centered around raising money for the Kelly Shire's charity - the Jolly Roger motel(as it was known then) provided a nice central spot to stay with good access to the many trails in district 10. Not suggesting a repeat of this, (the women have pretty well got their own ride going) but certainly the type of location and setting was ideal. There were 3 different types of rides so your personal riding style could be accomodated. It took a pile of organizing though - former forum member Maple had a big part in it and I think Giddy Up? There were rides previous to this along the same lines, but this one had a banquet, maybe dance, not sure what else. South Seguin and Six Star usually organize some kind of poker run in the same vicinity - perhaps piggy backing on this event might work. Our departed doonut organized a Muskoka Lakes tour in 2008(?) which was well attended but was only a day long thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Sounds like a great idea. Maybe two rides... one for mid-week for those who can and another for a weekend for those who can't. The weather gods are going to cooperate and bless us with lots of snow and ideal conditions this year. We are overdue. Two less than ideal winters in a row followed by a lack lustre summer which had so much rain it scuttled our plans for a tour around the 3 big Muskoka lakes.

Likely central D12 is a bit further than I would want to travel. Now if you are looking at something around the Sudbury area that's more in keeping with how far I would want to trailer. It's about a 4 hour drive for me and that's about my limit. Usually I look at 2 1/2 to 3 hours but would go the extra distance for such an event.

grover_yyz Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I would be interested in group rides. Also interested in the far north rides as I have no idea of safe traveling distances between the smaller communities and where to get fuel etc. A seasoned veteran of the north would make the trip less stressful.

revrnd Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd be in for something in the Northbay or Sudsbury area. Done a little bit of riding in the NB area on RAP & RAN tours, but no real 'local' riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micar Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Me and the Missus would be in for a ride around North Bay or Sudsbury. We did two of the loops in the Sudbury area a couple of years ago and had a blast. Stayed @ the Chateau Guay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
