sounds good guys!

and hey jcarboni, i doubt we are gonna make any stops, rather than fuel on hwy10/king st :/

I'm free Saturday so if the weather is good, I 'll reach.

Im down but im not supposed to go on the highway..lol , only got my m1.

I'm always down for a run out to forks, if I'm not busy this day I'll certainly meet you at Yorkdale

HI RPM,

Want to make a pit stop somewhere on 427 North, say around 1pm?
I got a few sauga riders who wants to do forks of the credits road too. but don't want to do the Yorkdale/DVP loop.

^ we could, theres a gas station a little east of the 427 on hwy7, esso.. we could meet there, but it would be later than 1pm

Has anyone scouted out the forks yet? I was there a week ago and they were doing construction on the hairpin. Really took the fun out of the forks....

Also, may I suggest taking highway 27 north, sideroad 17 east, to castlederg east, airport rd north to sideroad 12 east, Hurontario north to forks of the credit.

More sweeping turns = More fun!

My 2 cents, will probably be able to make it out with my buddy.

Hey guys :) I would love to go ride on Forks Of The Credit... there are couple of group rides happening this Saturday... I just have to choose one that suits me best.. i'm kind of new so yeah... but i;d love to do this :)

Cheers for now :D

Was out to Forks, construction signs "Weekdays 6am-7pm closed if i remember correctly" dont remember anything for weekend closures so it should be a go.

hey man, you are more than welcome to take the lead on the way there :)

Buddy and I went to the forks today. Sign is still there saying it's closed on weekdays until 6pm.
I assume that means that the hairpin still has traffic lights...

If I end up coming up with you guys I'll lead for sure if everyone is ok with it. I took the route I suggested today and it was still pretty fun, even without being able to ride the forks of the credit.

P.S.

If I am leading, and if we want to go to Leslie and Lakeshore Timmies to meet up with people, the route would be:
-DVP to 401 West
-401 West to Allen Road
-Allen Road North to Steeles Avenue West
-Steeles/Islington Esso station to grab fuel
-Steeles Avenue West to Highway 27 North (M1 friendly road BTW)
-Highway 27 North to Sideroad 17
-Sideroad 17 West to Castlederg
-Castlederg West to Airport Road
-Airport Road North to Sideroad 12
-Sideroad 12 West to Missisauga Road North
-Missisauga Road North to Forks of the Credit (we will stop here to eat, chill, etc.)
-Forks of the Credit East to Hurontario St
-Hurontario St North to Hockley Road
-Hockley Road East until the twisties end
- Then we can go wherever from here (either head back to via highway 27 etc. or we can reverse the route and do it all over again).




Again, feel free to change the route etc. voice concerns etc.

I can go as fast or as slow as everyone wants. If the newer and slower riders get left behind when things get curvy, we will always wait at the next turn or stop sign etc. for you guys. This way the faster and more experienced riders can tear up the turns, and the slower and less experienced riders can still ride within their own limits without getting left behind.

Pm me HI RPM with your cell # etc. and we can go from there.

Im close to leslie and lakeshore, but I have an M1 so what would be the best way for me to meet you guys once you get off 401 from L&L

Either we could take regular roads back to yorkdale (aka Allen road which is 80km). Or you could meet us at yorkdale (if we left from yorkdale of course).

I need to get into contact with the ride organizer to find out details. I'd vote for taking regular roads from lakeshore and leslie, as long as there isn't too many riders we should be alright. I just don't know about keeping a big group together as we travel through downtown Toronto lol.

fair enough..I appreciate the vote for regular roads but I know it can be hard keeping a big group together. If anything I will meet you guys at L&L and if I have to Ill meet up with the group somewhere once you get off the highway.

wearelopey, im more than down to take side roads, im honestly not a fan of highways :S
what we could do, is: meeting spot, still the same, take lawrence east towards bayview, bayview south to the twisties near downtown, leslie lakeshore pitstop, and then you can lead from there :)
ANDDD!!!! if anybody is intersted in meeting us at Leslie and Lakeshore, be my guest, i think that we should arrive there around 1pm
