Sunday Ride to Rosseau

A very wet start to the ride this past Sunday. Our only option was to head north running out of the rain by the time we went past Gravenhurst. Stopped at Tim Horton in Bracebridge before heading north again to the boat ramp at Rosseau. Lunch at Memories on hwy. 69 before coming home around mid afternoon in sunshine. Just three of us on this trip.

Ride for Dad

Really great attendance from Chapter 523 for the Ride for Dad. Probably around 25 members once we all got together. The ride was very well organized this year with a lunch stop in Creemore and some time to meet old friends from other parts of the Province.


Coldwater Bike Night

The first Coldwater Bike Night was held at Midland Recreation on hwy. 12 in Coldwater. This is the start of a weekly ride-in to be held every Tuesday evening from 6.00 pm until 9.00 pm. Hot dogs are $1 each, pop and water also at $1. Door prizes for the opening night were, one new tire installed, one full face helmet, one tee shirt. A total of $140 was collected for the 50/50 draw won by Tim Fountain who graciously put back most of his winnings to the Charity, Helping Hands Coldwater. Thanks to Keith Leigh for the pictures.

Last Sunday's wet ride.

Great turnout of 15 members on a day that threatened rain right from the start. Plan A was to head for Thornberry, Plan B was a ride around Lake Simcoe to try and avoid the expected rain. We then opted for Plan C to Gravenhurst via Cooper Falls Road. Thats where the rain started and continued on until after our lunch stop. Once south of Gravenhurst, the roads became dry and the skies finally cleared as we rolled back at Orillia. Thanks to everyone that showed up and thanks to Daphne for the pictures.
