2009 meet in the middle Bruce Mines

[Cat]

.HHMMMMMM but everyone knows you can't see a pearl orange when you ride into the sunset.....There it was,,,GONE!

Hmmmm, now he's gotten us into a 1300 flame war........nah, ain't gonna succeeed, Newfies don't ride into te sunset, they ride out of the sun rise. Hell, they got an extra half hour ahead of the rest of north america.
The first place the sunrises is Cape Spear.....been there seen that. : :8D:

[joeracket]

Ask the wives, it's not how fast you can get there.....It's how long you can keep on riding

..................yabut.............once they ride the big one they never go back

[stillflyin]

back to subject....How is the fishing at the Mines?
should I bring my rod?

[Big Dave]

Not answering for the Capt. BUT it is darn good fishing around there. I am bringing my fishing gear & will be spending about another week around the area - riding & fishing - could there be anything better?

[Skuleman]

Just out of curiosity is anyone putting an agenda together, ride destinations etc??

[Wolfpack]

Got question what about the spirit trail on the island , not sure how many hours are we from it?

[Big Dave]

Hey Skuleman, I am sure that Capt. will be putting together a BUNCH of rides. The person that calls the ride puts it all together.

[Skuleman]

That looks like a good one. I was planning to do the island on the way home and take the ferry to Tobermory, then go down the east shore road through Wasaga home.
My nephew is supposed to come with me. He'll be riding home to London.

Anyone from london planning to come?

[Wolfpack]

Just Google mapped Bruce Mines to Little Current looks like a 3 hour drive each way so guess that's not a very easy afternoon ride!

Will be stopping in Huntsville for a few days then in Dunnville area for a week then on to Sturgis for a few days

[Skuleman]

Planning for the ride up. Any one interested in going up via Tobermory & the ferry?

also, anyone interested in coming home via Sarnia and a ride down the west coast of Lake Huron (11 hours Bruce Mines to London - an iron butt day )?

[Big Dave]

Hey Sluleman, you may want to wait a while before planing a route (at least up). In the past a whole bunch meet at various places along the way & ride together. Perhaps my place will be a stop for the Nefoundlanders/& the rest from the East Coast. If so, you could think about joining the pre ride party (yes Randy, SHRIMP will be on the BBQ). Just my 2 cents.

[Skuleman]

Well, I'd definitely like to ride with the group, but just looking at alternatives to hwy 69 and the 400. Cottage traffic sucks and those roads can often be a parking lot, plus 69 has more than its share of accidents.

Consider it the "road less travelled syndrome" :-)

[hammerman]

Yo Big Dave, are we gonna have a whiskey warm-up??? Get a little practise for the Mine?? Hammer

[Big Dave]

Yep - 3 or 4 bottles waiting for ya. Now that you are in Trenton - or will be, you get to STOPPPPPP over. Jees, now that the Ride for Sight is back in Collingwood does that mean another party??

As for the ride up 69 Sculeman, I find it very relaxing & roads great. Since we will be heading up Thurs or early Fri morn traffic should not be a problem. Your call though. Going to be staying up in the area for a while (week?) but open for the Tobi run back if anyone elst is going that way.
