Marcarl Posted October 9, 2011 Share #11 Posted October 9, 2011 What a fantastic day to ride,,, and what a day it was,,, the company was great, we didn't make enough mistakes to get totally lost, we ate well, the coffee and pie and ICE_CREAM was great, no real wind, not too hot, no clouds, and only one gravel road. 15 hours gone and worth every minute,,,,,, come-on Monday!!!!

XV1100SE Posted October 9, 2011 Share #12 Posted October 9, 2011 What time and where do we start on Monday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted October 9, 2011 Share #13 Posted October 9, 2011 I'm thinking to meet at our place and leave about 9 am, head south to the lake, do the lake ride, maybe have lunch in Talbotville, head up into Huron county and then come back through Mennonite country. We could also do the same as we did yesterday,, but that WILL be close to 15 hours. We met at Mono Mills at 9 and left @ 9:30,( Ben talks a lot), arrived in Thornbury about 1:30 had supper in Cambridge about 7:30, got home @ 10. So I suggest a more changeable \ adjustable route that we can cut short or lengthen at will, and still be home when we want. Colors should be good in those areas, from what I could judge yesterday. Hopefully I will be able to be online sometime today, we will be in Acton, celebrating Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted October 9, 2011 Share #14 Posted October 9, 2011 We will be at your place by 9 then. The Lake sounds good to me. Lunch in Talbotville sounds great. BUT I'm open to riding ANYWHERE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted October 9, 2011 Share #15 Posted October 9, 2011 Sooooooooo I mad e a BIG mistake,,, and it really sucks,,,,,,,after getting all physched up for another all day ride, I remember that I have double duty at our church ThanksGiving service tomorrow. We won't be home until 12,,, so you all will have to ride without us I guess. Marca & I will have to spend the aft on our own,, maybe meet up for supper.

saddlebum Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share #16 Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Yes it was a great ride and it was well worth letting Carl (who we all know never talks at all) take the reins and lead the way, and we we even survived, all two of us. It is amazing what you can see close to home if you take the time too look. I took a couple pics I will post later.

Wizard765 Posted October 9, 2011 Share #17 Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) In this case (Carl get's us all worked up and bails on us) New plan is to meet at Wayne's house at 9.. I can come up with a route that includes some of what Carl had planned. The lake still sounds good with lunch in Talbotville.. What say you all?

So if I can be forgiven, we would like to meet for supper if that works out, I can always call at 12:30 to 1pm if that works, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard765 Posted October 9, 2011 Share #19 Posted October 9, 2011 Sounds good to me Carl.. Where did you have in mind for supper? I can make that the end point and try to make it at a predetermined time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And looking at the map I think Carl could probably intersect us any number of places along the way if he so wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted October 9, 2011 Share #22 Posted October 9, 2011 OK by me,,, will try to call around 1pm but see you at 6 at Pioneer for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted October 10, 2011 Share #23 Posted October 10, 2011 We just got home from the trip to Napanee with Steve and Michelle to pick up their trailer. Left the house before 7am.... So.... not going to make it tomorrow. Will try to make the dinner at Pioneer for 6pm. (Carl... post when you confirm, please). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share #24 Posted October 10, 2011 Hi wayne we got to bed late due to familly being over and all. As it stands we won't get out until nine add approx 1 hour to get to your place we would not get there until about Ten. Maybe if I jknew what your route was we could meet you along the way somewhere.

I'll say this makes for real interesting planning,,,,, glad we're such an easy going bunch or we could get real mad at each other. So,,,,, just to stir the pot,,,,,, let's say that Ben actually gets on the scoot at 9,, well he'll have to talk first,,,, so it's now 9:15 and he arrives at Wizards at exactly 10:15,,, has to meet all that are there and talk to each one,,,,, it's now 10:45,,,, it takes 35 min to ride to Marcarl's and it's just about time for lunch, so you all decide where to eat,,, do that and that's another hour,,,,, all added up it's now about 12:30,,,,,,,,,HEY???? we're home from church and only need to snack, change and get on the bike,,,, you all couldn't be that far away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
