    Re: Golden Horseshoe Photo Tag

    Yesssss!

    I was regularly checking the Kitchener-Waterloo tag game but it is kinda far from me and some of those guys are hard core. Posting a road bridge with a bunch of greenery around... I was completely clueless.

    I hope this tag will move at the same pace as the GTA tag moves. I always like to ride to Niagara Falls, however I did not always have a steady reason. Until now.

    Happy tagging!

    I've been watching the other tags and realized that it's a great way to figure out where to go and see new things when you've got a bit of time, the itch to ride... but don't know where to go! I hope it takes off too!

    That one is a bit out of range for a week night but this looks like a good game. Just subscribed to the post, I'm in. Thanks Coyo.

    for the geographically challenged, a map of the 'playing field' would be helpful just so everyone knows where the boundaries are for this game.
    Will keep an eye on this for interesting vistas to visit. Ride safe.

    Exactly! There were days when I wanted to go for a ride & I just didin't feel like going to the same old places... but where to go? Answer: photo-tag! I'll keep watching this thread for a chance to get a long-range shot at a tag some weekend. Thanks for starting it up.

    I remember some time ago when the Ontario Photo Tag was around Niagara I was considering grabbing one, I was just too slow.

    I think you should outline the Golden Horseshoe so no one complains when someone tries to push the outer limits of the area.

    As far as I understand it the Golden Horse shoe is Hamilton to Niagara Falls and Down to lake Erie Dunnville Fort Erie area.
    Look in the tunk, I think he means trunk.

    The golden horseshoe usually refers to all the cities on lake Ontario from the Whitby/Oshawa area around to St Catharines/NOTL. It sounds like we are trying to define the Niagara Penninsula. I am thinking it is Coyo's call to set the boundries. I would suggest Lake Ontario as the northern border, Erie to the south. The Niagara River as the eastern boundry and run it out to particular roads in the west. Maybe Guelph Line over to the 401 and back to the Dunnville area. What do you think Coyo?

    good idea! I 2nd that motion. because I've heard "Golden Horseshoe" extends from Port Hope to Niagra Falls.

    Re: Golden Horseshoe Photo Tag

    Good points by all and to be honest, I started this thread on my Blackberry while sitting on the bench directly behind my bike seen in the above pic so there was no way I was searching out maps, etc...

    I've decided to define the area as Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and Haldimand (not Norfolk) Regions. I included Haldimand but if all feel that makes the area too big then we can limit it to the three regions. I've included links to detailed and zoomable maps (which were too big to attach to the thread) of all four regions so there's no confusion.

    Tag away! (someone take my tag!)
