Hi - Your route in sounds like the route I would prefer too. I'm riding down from Mississuaga/Meadowvale area, if you are interested in hooking up. Should mention though, I'm a cruiser rider (Kawasaki Nomad), in case that's an issue for you. Your midmorning travel time is perfect.
Let me know!

There's sumtn for evry 1.
You either love it, or you hate it.
I've been going for ~25 yrs.
There will be more people per sq ft than you've seen in a while this Friday. Riders come from all across North America. It's our version of Daytona Bike week, or Sturgess, all crammed into one day. Hundreds of riders will always spend the weekend at this time of year.
The burn out pit, which was a blast, was 'removed' years ago.

Cool sounds like a hell of a day, ill come check it out wit my buddiez, prob gona come later tho, what time do they finish? Or is it like a full day thing?
Re: Port Dover Friday the 13th 9:30 RIde
Sounds like we'll have a good group going!
All bikes welcome (even Harleys!)
And travel speed, about 20 over, that's it, way too many cops around for much more than that.
I'll try to post a link with the route, so we can have some meeting points in Mississauga and Hamilton.
Re: Port Dover Friday the 13th 9:30 RIde
Here is the map

So let me know where you want to make some stops along the way for Mississauga & Hamilton.

My route passes most of the traffic and merges @ the bridge. So only a short slow drive, the rest is fun!

Sounds good! Look forward to seeing you.
Re: Port Dover Friday the 13th 9:30 RIde
For someone that's never been, when does this thing die down? Earliest I can probably make it would be 8 PM, and I want to know if it's worth my while to even ride down for it.
