Scarborough GROUP RIDE 4.0 - EVERY Sunday, 1:30, Timmies at Kennedy Commons

[toysareforboys]

Well folks. Here is the official Scarborough Group Ride 4.0 thread!

OFFICIAL FACEBOOK GROUP! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=106467207235

The ride starts at the timmies at Kennedy Commons (401/Kennedy Rd.). We try and meet up around 1:30 and roll out around 2:15.

Don't worry if you have a small bike. 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.

The "regular" route takes about 3.5 hours total (to get back to the start point) and is about 200km round trip. We head out from timmies and 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:




We also plan other routes, sometimes NOT in advance, like Niagara Falls, Forks of the Credit, Algonquin/507, etc. Show up to timmies with a full tank and we'll decide where to go =)


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.
**NEW WEATHER SITE! http://bit.ly/lV1h80

Q: Can I come?
A: Yes dammit. Just come. Don't ask. Doesn't matter what you ride (no under 100cc scooters please), 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. No sex required, I swear!

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.

Q: I only have my M1 and/or am afraid to go on the highway? Do you still love me?
A: Yes. There are NO highway or other roads which require greater then an M1 to drive on.


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.

[toysareforboys]

Hey jamie do you a Juan and there real east end guys still meet up at the whites Tim hortons before heading to Kc?

There's only a few really east end guys, juan, me, lol. So it usually isn't worth the pre-meet and then the 15 min ride to KC but if peeps wanna pre-meet I guess we could.

I gotta adjust my chain and lube my shaft and tighten my nuts so I might not make it for a premeet if we try it today.

Also, there will be some BIG NEWS about the sunday ride on June 12th!!! BIG BIG NEWS! Will announce it at KC today and I'll make a thread about it tonight =)

-Jamie M.

[Wileo]

What did you think of the new route to Uxbridge Adli?

-Jamie M.

It was pretty good, better then 7/12, and had that wicked corner. I rode Ashburn the other day, it definitely didn't survive winter, you'll be dodging pot holes the entire road!

And secret road is nice and clean, I put the stock exhaust back on and rode it twice, haha. Bike sounds way too quite now

[Adli]

Hey jamie do you a Juan and there real east end guys still meet up at the whites Tim hortons before heading to Kc?

I would be down for a pre meet too, I'm coming from Uxbridge, so it would be cool to meet up and have company on the way down.

I ran into Juan on the 401 couple weeks back..

[C-Note]

Here right now, stopped by to see what's up... And there's no boyz with toys

[ractive]
