Algonquin Park

The weather for last Sunday's Colour Ride to Algonquin Park turned out to be about as perfect as it could get. Sunny skies, warm temperatures and calm winds greeted us on this spectacular ride through the Park to Whitney for an excellent lunch, then down hwy 127 and Peterson Road through Wilberforce, Kinmount and Norland for an ice cream stop arriving back in Orillia by 6.00 pm. Great day, great company. Another 450 kms. on the clock, time for new tires again. Thanks to Steve S for some of the pictures, more can be seen by clicking on Photo Gallery 2011.

Wednesday night Ride or Not to Ride.

Can't say that I blame anyone for not showing up last night, who really wants to ride in the rain after dark anyway. This was the sorry scene outside Timmy's though with my bride and I inside the establishment putting another half an inch on the waistline.

Busy Weekend

Saturday was the Midland Toy Ride with over 300 bikes taking part. The day was sunny and cool for the ride through Balm Beach, Midland and Penetang, arriving back at Mountain View Plaza for free pizza and pop. Thanks to Jim Wright for the pictures, much more by clicking on the Photo Gallery 2011 on the right side of this page.




Next day was the ride to Sprucedale along the same twisty route we took a few weeks ago. Weather was perfect, service in the Sprucedale Hotel a little less than perfect with several of us not getting lunch, too bad. However the ride was exciting to say the least with lots of really great company. Thanks to Steve Shane for these pictures and again, more to be seen by clicking on the Photo Gallery 2011.




Mating season appears to be getting under way for our beloved Moose, this ol' Boy may have just got lucky.
