The infamous ride to Markdale

Last Sunday saw another great turnout for our ride to Markdale that never was. OK this is how it started.

as you can see, plenty of bikes a beautiful clear sky and a new lady rider out for her first ride with our Chapter. The first part of the day went very well through Phelpston, New Listowel, Creemore with gorgeous views from the top of the Collingwood Mountains to Singhampton for a fuel stop. This is where our new lady rider's bike said "I QUIT". Particular thanks to Blanka, Keith, Russ and Lesley for staying behind and helping to load the sick bike on the tow truck.

and so endeth the ride to Markdale, maybe next time !!

Rainy Wednesday evening in Kirkfield

The weather forecast for last Wednesday evening was back and forth between rain and overcast with no rain. Well we had both. Still nine hardy souls turned out for a drizzly start from Orillia to the Kirkfield lift lock, from then on to Timmy's at Beaverton and back to Orillia were dry roads.

Thanks to everyone that contributed by sending pictures to me of the past weekends riding. Here are some of them, more in the Photo Gallery 2012.

Busy weekend

This past weekend started off at 8.00 am on Saturday meeting up for a 600 kms round trip to the beautiful little town of Killarney for their famous Fish n Chips. I personally had never been here before so was very excited about the ride and also to rate these famous Fish n Chips which I would have to put at a 5 Star rating.
Next day was a Picnic Ride to the covered bridge in West Montrose organised by Ron Hare. Many thanks to Ron for picking out the best and safest route for us. Little rain on the way home which for me was a pleasant relief from the hot and humid temperatures. Always more pictures in the Photo Gallery 2012.
