I am doing that ride this weekend, but due to the family celebrating Thanksgiving on Sunday, I am forced to ride Saturday or Monday. Any chance of changing the ride to one (or both!) of those days? Mike

Hey Mike - I have stuff booked Saturday that I can't get out of and Monday is not gonna work for me. WHo knows what the weather will end up doing, its about as accurate as one of Hurricanes farts in the wind!
Ken sunday is a no go for me unfortunately. Enjoy the ride becasue like you said there wont be many more days left sad.gif Weather looks super though beer.gif Ride safe and watch those leaves tongue.gif
I'd love to join you guys. I need to get at least one more good ride in before the snow starts flying. Unfortunately, I am going up to Chapleau Ontario for a week of moose hunting. I was thinking about riding my bike up, but last year at this time there was snow on the ground in that part of the province. Wouldn't want to have to leave my bike up there till spring. Anyway, have a great time up in Bancroft. I'll be there next time.
Snoring aside I'm stuck at work this weekend solo so there is no way I can sneak out sad.gif . Hopefully there will still be a couple of nice days left for me after the weekend.
Enjoy and remember that Fs= Speed Squared/ 127xRadius
Hey Ken: Just what I was thinking... I have no plans for Sunday either... come on weather! Let me know what time you want to meet and I'll figure out what ridiculous time I need to wake up.
Based on the last meet - for this run, I think the Brooklin TIm Hortons was for around 10 am? From there to the 507 is another hour and 15, and Petersen Lake Road is another 25 from top of 507....
I'd be pushing to leave Gtown around 9 am, putting me in Brooklin Timmys at 10am.
If that works for anyone, post up.
Danno - I'll be in in your town Saturday, too bad i wasn't riding or maybe we could have hit some of your roads.
so are you saying that you will be at the bottom of the 507 at around 11AM???
Then 507 to Peterson RD then where are you going???
I am considering making the trip for the fun roads up there... it looks a nice 600 mile day smile.gif

Hey Pat - I figure if I'm at Brooklin for 10 am, I'd be at the bottom of the 507 for more likely 11:15 - 11:30. THat gas station where we stopped last time, where all the bikes were is where I mean.
SOrry I couldn't do the weekend out your way, things booked up Saturday and Monday. SUnday is the only day to play. Great if you can do it!!
As for where to ride - I was planning to hit Petersen road over to where we had Lunch at Grannie Kitchen, then back down PEtersen again - and depending on timing - maybe another run up and back. THen retrace the route and head for home.
Likely grab lunch at Grannies - or if someone knows of another spot - that would work also.
scmiata1990, Oct 6 2006, 05:14 PM Hello Ken,
I'm in. It will be nice to finally meet you. 10:00 at the Timmies in Brooklin it is.
Is that ok for others?
Danny
DAnny - cool you can make it! I could meet you on the 407 just EAst of Mississauga road, around 9:00AM - if you want? Just let me know..

Danno - maybe you could connect with Scmiata1990 at the PEtro Can on the eastbound 401, just east of Cambridge? Likely 35 minutes from there, to the 407/Mississauga rd spot.
Sounds good to me. I was planning to leave London around 7:00 ish. 401 Petro/McD's east of Cambridge around 8:15 for an 8:25 departure. 407 and Mississauga @ 9:00. Brooklin by 10:00 Time for a coffee and then the fun starts biggrin.gif I'm trying to round up 2 non VFR riders for the tour too. Any one else from London or the St. Thomas area... gmtech94?

Hello Danno,
I will meet you at the Petro/McD at 8:15 on Sunday morning.
We could consider heading west after Bancroft. I can take us on some great roads south of the Collingwood if there is time. Just a thought.
tbzep, Oct 6 2006, 09:07 PM Sounds like a good place to eat. rolleyes.gif
LOL the beer is still coming out of my nose! The funny part is I have gotten lost on a couple of occasions trying to find Beaver Valley from the east. I would love to do some extra clicks if the day is going well. 8:15 it is, I'm on a silver 6th gen with a top case.
Ken you going to wait under the overpass on the 407? Tomorrow I'll be out of communication for most of the day. I'll probably check one last post on Sunday morning to make sure everything is still on.

DAnno - I'll be under the overpass - or just east of it - depending on whether the sun is shining to heat me up!!
Likely not have the top box on - but you'll see the red helmet and hear the billyjoejimbob redneck pipes a mile away!!
There are many great routes around the Beaver Valley. wink.gif We can zigzag our way down the escarpment all the way from Collingwood if time allows. I figured it would be better than slabbing it back. It will add little more than an hour or two and the roads are so much more interesting than 407 etc.
I don't think I'll be staying overnight. My wife's family dinner is early on Monday.
PS If youget the chance check out the cover of the Saturday's Globe and Mail's Home section. There is a great article on my grandfather.

DAnny - looking at the online version - what is the name of your grandfather - I can't seem to find a HOme section.
