Rickard's Ride 2017 - Bruce Mines, ON - July 25 - 27, 2017

Post by philip Rickard »

Well, here we are already headed into the fall season. Philip and I are finally getting some plans in order for the 2017 meet. We tried hard to secure an island for that week, but nothing worked out. Accommodations in Bruce Mines are not what we want for our friends so we have reserved rooms in Thessalon (19km away) at Carolyn Beach Inn. We'll add the link soon for booking. More info to come.

The place looks good . :) Me and Sarge starting to make plans . Tough decisions to make .

1) To the meet then after meet down to Niagara region for family visit and then a long hard race to Sturgis for Aug 6 then home ?

2) Family visit in Dunnville first , then North on the 25 to the meet and then home for a week after the meet and then to Sturgis and then back home ?

..... One is easier but lots more mileage , the other is a few days of long hard riding and probably routed around Chicago . (Routed around Chicago probably answers my questions.)

Sorry, no group rate but make sure you tell them you are with the Rickards Ride so we all get our rooms in the same block. We'll be posting the itinerary and t-shirts in January.
