saddlebum Posted September 6, 2019 Share #32 Posted September 6, 2019 Unless you plan on coming through Burlington, I will meet you in campbellville at the Icehouse restaurant. BTW I believe that restaurant is closed now, at least it appeared that way the last couple times I went by it but the Esso station beside it , on the corner of Main Street and campbellville Road / campbellville Ave. Is still there.

From the dictionary of AllAgree Rain Dance: A ridiculous acrobat form of movement that will have all those able to watch wondering what on earth has got into that human. Mostly performed outside (has better effect) and in order to be most effective should be performed with feet pointed towards the clouds. If not performed in such a manner then the opposite effect of ones desire may take effect. It has also proven to be quite beneficial to have a large crowd of on-lookers clapping their hands in unison, so to create a beat, sort of more or less. Best you practice some more maybe!!

This definitely would dampen if not totally mess up what could be a great ride, and bad weather at the cottage on Thurs would also be no fun. Carl and I will check again later today and tomorrow to see if the forecast starts to improve. Will keep you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chabicheka Posted September 9, 2019 Share #38 Posted September 9, 2019 Here’s a few reasons I am leaning towards a “Maybe” for the ride... Have a nasty toothache that probably needs to be pulled out. Don’t know how fast I can get an appointment with the dentist, also how I will be feeling after it’s done. # 2....The weather....looks like rain,rain,and a thunderstorm on Friday to top it off. Which means staying indoors, listening to Marcarl whole day. Now that’s a scary thought... #3 ......I had opted to tent it....reason being I am a loud snorer. Was sharing a room at a cottage a while back with a friend, and when I woke up in the morning, my buddy and his mattress were missing Found him outside the hallway sleeping on his mattress on the floor. #4 .....Nights are going to be cold ! 9 celcious I believe. Not ideal for tenting. #5 ......am pooped already from doing the rain dances . Yeah...try that at MY age.☹️ So guys, if you all decide to go on, I wish you nice sunny days and lots of fun. So if you don’t see me at Mono Mills, I am using my last bit of energy doing some more rain dance, for you guys, at home. love you, Carl. abdul.

Evan Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share #41 Posted September 10, 2019 Seems like the “no rain” dance may be doing some good. The current forecast is a bit better on Wed but still bad on Friday for the ride home - 10 to 15 mm of rain along the way. So, Carl and I will chat in the morning after the forecast update and decide if it is a go or if we come up with an alternate plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current forecast is a bit better on Wed but still bad on Friday for the ride home - 10 to 15 mm of rain along the way. So, Carl and I will chat in the morning after the forecast update and decide if it is a go or if we come up with an alternate plan. So, here is the update, subject to any surprises in the current weather forecast. Carl will stick with his route and meet-up plans along the way. We may have some rain along the way, but it shouldn’t be too heavy. Because Friday rain still looks very likely and heavy, he will lead us back from the cottage on Thursday rather than Friday, which should be good riding weather. You may want to bring along your long underwear as the the night temperature could be down to 10c. Looking forward to a great ride on some great biking roads and spending the evening listening to tall tales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will accompany you guys part of the way, maybe till lunch time and then head back after lunch once I am convinced Carl got everything under control. Mono Mills at 10 am...but please do not wait if I am not there. Abdul., update on my toothache....I know Carl probably didn't get any sleep worrying about me....got a molar yanked out...I thought the dentist was trying to pull my head off the body !! anyway, its done am feeling a bit better.

The Tooch Posted September 10, 2019 Share #45 Posted September 10, 2019 Hi Guys Update on the Tooch.....I won’t be able to attend....the Chemo stuff has knocked me on my butt. I’m not nauseous or sick but very tired and I can’t walk around very much without getting the spins and needing to sit or lie down, to make the room stay still. Obviously I can’t be driving and generally I don’t feel well right now. Sorry, I can’t make it, cause I know this would be fun. I’ll do my little rain dance for you! Can’t stand up long enough to do a long one! My Mustang hasn’t turned a wheel in well over a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you couldn't make this ride allll the way, planned out special with you in mind,, lots of turns, twists and such, even some hills and valleys, just to get the right mix in. Due hope to see you tomorrow though and if you think your rain dance is working,,, keep at it,,, just put a little more effort into it between 3 and 4 in the morning,,, that should pretty well do it then.
