I've got the route all planned out. Going to keep it a secret till the day of. I'll have directions to give to all the drivers.
If the weather improves for Sunday, meet up at the Tim Hortons on Queen Street at Hwy 410 in Brampton for 10-11am. I will be there rain or shine. Google Maps has it labelled as Jack Astors. It's the same building. http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&sourc...16512&t=h&z=17 We will cruise all backroads, Forks (unclosed section), Hockley, Orangeville, thru Barrie to Hwy 11 to Webers and should arrive sometime after 1pm for lunch. From there, those that can/want to continue on, can follow me up to Bala, Glen Orchard and Foots Bay via Southwood Road and Hwy 169, over to the Hwy 400 and back down. All in all, should be about 4-5 hours drive time. A nice and slow cruise. :thumbs: I guess at this point, I don't need to remind people to bring a jackets, gloves, hats, earmuffs, etc. Maybe even a blanket. We can have a picnic at Webers since they've taken the tables out of the grassy areas. Supposed to be a high of 15, but better to be safe. Plus when we're just standing around at Webers, it might be a tad chilly. Also, have a couple of bottles of water, maybe a thermos of tea or coffee in the car with you during the cruise. Can't hurt to bring those fold up chairs either if you can. Also, bring the radios if you got them. Channel 5.0. |

Well Stan the forecast has improved dramatically for Sunday. But Saturday still appears to be a bit better... around here anyway. If I have to do work for one day this weekend I think I'll cruise tomorrow and pass on Sunday. But, if the Sunday weather keeps improving, you never know, my arm may be twisted

If you're referring to the HDR runs, I'm tired of driving those lousy patch & potholed roads of Toronto . It's nothing personal towards the group, I actually miss the drives, even though it makes for a dreary, next day Friday, but I cope. You know that I patrol those streets every day.

I've been around driving here & there, been to the cruise nights on Sundays, can't make the Monday nights, conflict with work schedule.

401 to Yonge and straight down. Yonge is only bad from Bloor south to Dundas now. They did a real nice job with repaving Yonge from Lawrence to Eglinton. It's a very tempting street when there's no traffic. And the rest of Yonge isn't so bad. And the odd time, we'll go to Bayview to Rosedale. That's a fun drive. Anyways, hope one day to see you out there again. Even if it's too shoo us away from the hot dog stands. It is a no parking zone afterall. |

I wonder how much of a mess it will be once they actually start construction on that condo right across the street. We may be moving next year cause of it. |
