Scarborough ride 2.0 - EVERY Sunday, 1:30, Timmies at Lawrence and Brimley

Well folks. Here is the official Scarborough ride 2.0 thread!

OFFICIAL FACEBOOK GROUP! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...7207235&ref=nf

The old one can be found here (if you are a paid supporting member)

The ride starts at the timmies at Lawrence and Brimley. We try and meet up around 1:30 and roll out around 2:15. The ride takes about 3.5 hours and is about 200km total round trip.

The ride is NOOB and M1 friendly. We usually have a few CBR 125's and Ninja 250's on the ride so you WILL NOT be left behind.

We try and ride fast people up front, slow people in the back. We wait up for the slow group at every stop, turn, etc.

After heading out from timmies we do a double run on Twyn Rivers and Old Finch. Then take Hwy #7 east to Brooklin. Stop at timmies there for fuel and food.

Then it's North to Uxbridge. Some amazingly scenic roads on this part, DON'T MISS IT AND BOOK OUT EARLY!

We usually stop for a group shot by a little lake:

Some frequently asked questions:

Q: Is there a ride going on THIS Sunday???
A: Yes. Weather permitting. Check this site and this site for weather radar. Don't believe the weather report anywhere else.

Q: Can I come?
A: Yes dammit. Just come. Don't ask. Doesn't matter what you ride (no under 100cc scooters please) or your experience level, GET OUT HERE!

Q: I'm a wimp and only want to do the Scarborough part of the ride, can I do that?
A: Yes. You can book out after Old Finch / Twyn Rivers or keep with us all the way to Brooklin then head home from there.

Q: I live in Brooklin/Port Perry/Oshawa/Whitby/Ajax/Pickering/Bowmanville/Courtice and just want to do the Durham part of the route. How do I do that?
A: Meet us at the Timmies in Brooklin (the real brooklin, not the fake one), corner of Hwy #7 and Hwy #12 (that's Baldwin St. and Winchester Rd.) around 3:45.

Q: I'm a girl and I'm shy about rolling up to that group by myself.
A: PM me and we'll meet at STC or something and roll in together.

Q: Can I please have a google route map of the Scarb and Durham routes?
A: Send me a PM and I'll give em to ya.

Any other questions just SEND ME A PM (try not to post in the thread so it doesn't get too bloated).

Can't wait to see ya out on the ride.

Good idea. I'll do that later on today.

Please keep the chatter about the old thread to a minimum, and keep on topic to this group ride coming up next Sunday please.

Don't need this one in the trash too.

yep, my advice is to just stay at the back till you get comfortable enough.

Right on, appreciate the tip!

That photo is awesome. Lots of riders. I've been planning to go out but family stuff comes up.

Do you have any ride rules, other than fast riders up front, slow in the back (I'll be in the back)? Staggered riding, for example? Tail gunner?

bye bye old thread...... Welcome new one....hope you get to 100 pages soon on this one guys.
