I've plotted the route on Garmin. Basically a straight run on Hwy 10 (at Orangeville) to Hwy 6 and straight up.
Good spot for me to meet would be Airport Rd and Hwy 9. Thats just a bit west of the 400 and right on the way to HWY 10.
I'm gonna book for the run up and also for the 1:30 pm back on Friday.
Erik, I will ride up with you and Wrangler. What time are you meeting at Airport Rd and Hwy 9?

Nice to see Les back in good health!!!! Fantastic!!!!

What a great meet. It was so good to see everyone. Great riding weather both ways.
I just got home today (stopped at the shack for the weekend).
Hope the gang at Montreal River get back dry. It was looking like some rain for today up that way.

We got home late last night with just a few drops hitting us around Beaverton but definitely no big deal. It was definitely awesome seeing everyone and Liz and I had a fantastic time. Great people, beautiful piece of the country. Very, very glad we attended.

Great turn out....Grace and I had a fantastic time this week, both at the meet as well as Montreal River. It was really nice to see everyone. The weather gods were merciful this year....I have a bunch of pics to upload and post shortly.

Many thanks to Phil and Carol for organizing this years meet and for providing the T-Shirts. Also thanks to Dirt Road (Dave and Lizzy) for the X rider mugs, they were a pleasant surprise!

I am looking forward to next year....

Home finally BUT the last couple of days have been tough , feeling like Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth beat my shoulders with baseball bats , Andre the Giant body slam me on my back a couple times and some old lady stabbed my left knee with knitting needles but other wise I'm sorta ok . Starting to think that when your only 3 ticks from seventy maybe riding across the country isn't the smartest thing to do. PS: Mal - not saying Dave and Marianne's is of for July 2018 but it is now down to a maybe .

Good visit in Regina and Landmark -- great time at the meet in Thessalon
Good visit in Huntsville , great family reunion in Dunnville and lots of visits ,

Got Tee shirts in Sturgis
now home --- going to bed for a couple days !
