Perfect weekend weather

A full weekend of activity starting early on Saturday with a ride to see our friends at Base Borden for their Spring Warm-Up and Benediction. It was nice to share some safety tips with our Chapter members and hopefully we all benefitted in some positive way. Thanks to the Pilgrim who lead the ride and provided us with a very pleasant ride following the event. Here are a couple of pictures of the line up to receive the Blessing from the Camp Padre.

 

 

The following day was our normal Sunday Ride Day, this time taking the country route through Phelpston, Creemore, and Flesherton to the Barr Head Grill in Markdale. From there, the group split up as some members were running short on time. The rest continued on north through the Beaver Valley to Thornton, Collingwood, Stayner and home. Great Day, Perfect Weather and Fantastic Company.

 

 

The EAGLES spread their wings again.

What a great day. Sunny, warm and 21 shiny bikes out for a fantastic ride into Muskoka. Still plenty of snow in the bush and the odd ice running down the face of highway rock cuts but 22 riders with warm and happy hearts
Received a very warm welcome from the folks at our lunch stop restaurant in Dorset before continuing on through Huntsville with a brief stop to view the flooding and then on to James Street Place in Bracebridge for cake and coffee/tea/juice.
This visit was at the invitation of Roz and Greg Marshall to the Retirement Residence that Roz is the General Manager of. So, thanks to Roz and the residents for your hospitality.
Also thanks to Brian for organizing the route and leading the ride, our tailgunners, Russ & Lesley on their new trike, Wolf and Lora on the Spyder and Wally on the Beemer. More thanks to Blanka and Brian for the great pictures and to everyone else that shared this great day with Chapter 523. Many more pictures by clicking on "Photo Gallery 2013" found on the right side of this page.

 

Yes, it's "The Magnificent Seven" from Chapter 523

Can you believe this. Seven hardy souls riding with one degree Celsius on the dial just because we can. Anyway, it was a beautiful sunny day, the company couldn't have been better and we all forgot to bring a camera. The date was April 21 and winter doesn't seem to be over yet.

Official Start to the 2013 Riding Season

Sunday April 14 was the official start to the 2013 Riding Season, or so I thought!!!
Surely winter will be over soon. The ride to Orillia today wasn't real good to start with, then got progressively worse until snow started to build up on the windshield. Here's a couple of pictures to prove we tried. Hoping for better weather next week, next month, or next year.
