DanB Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hello - I am new to the forum. Looking for a riding bud or group in the Burke’s Falls/South River area for a couple of days of riding, or a ride around Algonquin Park. I usually ride with my Dad but he has decided to get out of the sport given his age, thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grover_yyz Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Keep us informed as I could also ride with you. I enjoy riding that area. To be honest I like riding any area that has snow. Jerry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontariof7 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi Dan. I am free the week of the 23rd and 30th. When are you thinking of heading away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I have gone by muhself once - years ago. I headed to Wawa and found a crew to hook up with for the day. The next day I picked up a couple in Hornepayne that had no clue where they were, and we rode together for that day. I am sure that if you head to Cochrane or any of the other normal staging towns, that you will be able to find someone that you can tag along with for the day or weekend. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski This made me laugh reading this - very true though. I have rode solo many times and I always found I ended up connecting with other solo riders vs. groups - was not intentional, just the way it worked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
