    Re: Algonquin Park Ride May 24th

    I'd love to go for this but I get off night shift that morning and riding all day on no sleep is not an option. Hopefully next time.

    I've printed the route and maybe one day if I'm bored I'll attempt it by myself.

    Great day, I got in 695Kms too. After I left the group, I had a blistering trip down North Baptiste lake rd. Had a couple pops with my buddy George, then took Red Bird's advice and went north to 515/514, then back down 118,507, down to Bridgenorth, and then got tired and Highway the rest of the way. I need a rear tire now.
    Inferno, check in, hope you got back without incident, thanks for the excitement.

    Hi all,
    Kari and I got separated on the 115. She wanted to go faster with Lighta's group that passed me, and I had no intention of loosing my licence/bike on the highway on the way home. So I rode all the way home and didn't have to stop for gas, she did. I beat her home by about 20 minutes. We did 912 km total today.

    Thanks for leading the ride LRB. That was a great day of riding. Nice pace. Not too fast and not too slow. Great roads out that way.
    Keep the front wheel in the air and the shiny side up.

    Re: Algonquin Park Ride May 24th

    Got home at 9pm. The DVP was back logged so I ended up taking Avenue rd. Had to stop off at California sandwiches before I went home.

    Thanks again for organizing LRB it was beautiful day for a ride. That route was good maybe next time we can make stops where there are restrooms(not a complaint). It's just that I've been domesticated.

    Gixxer girl and boy thanks for leading in the morning you two were gentle with me.

    Mr. Honda Interceptor that was nice pace going home just takin' it easy.

    Would have been nice to know how many k's. Must get new speedo cable, I'm assuming 700+ of fun. Good to meet all of you.

    Re: Algonquin Park Ride May 24th

    I agree with all, thanks LRB for the ride, great day, great route and the pace was perfect for all.

    It was awesome to meet everyone and get to know some fellow riders.

    Glad I read these posts again, now I better understand what happened. I was in Lighta's group on the 115 (four of us where going pretty good - thanks to the lead, I was the fourth) and at one point I passed Kira, guess this was when she needed gas - she just disappeared and I had wondered what happened.

    Gabe (speedoless) we did 701 from my house. And thanks for letting me know about the ride, much appreciated, had a great day - now suffering from the sunburn...

    900+ kms AWESOME

    Hey All, as you know I made it back. VFRchris, I thought you were "MY" Chris when we sped up on 115, guess I was going too fast to notice heh heh, . Thanks to the Kawi rider (sorry forgot your name) who let me tag along till you hit the collectors.

    Big props to Lynn (LRB) for an amazing day, great roads, no incidents and especially for pickin up' the pace on 35 greatly appreciated. I seen your gesture and was thinking the same thing as you... "DAMN" when we got stuck behind those 3 cars on that HUGE sweeper then the last of the twisties for the day.

    Mathew, thanks for letting me ride your *ss most of the day, I am so use to riding really close (hope it didn't make you too uneasy). To the other Kat rider (Amalan) was great seeing you tailin' me the whole way, nice to keep up with the big bike eh?

    To the guys who headed off elsewhere, it way great meeting you all. Chris (inferno) was finally good to put a face to the name, and I hope you guys had a great afternoon. Dan if you ever see that decal again snag me one will yeah!

    Great meeting everyone, Lita always a pleasure girl and the funny guy with you providing the laughs. Djez, hopefully your wife is riding next time.

    Ok, done now. sneak peak pics below (note: the guy washing his visor,) the rest will be on facebook soon. I am outta here going for a ride.

    Open and paved in that spot FYI Loop road is a major road for up there and they tend to fix them quickly.

    Re: Algonquin Park Ride May 24th

    Thanks for leading Lynn. I had a blast. Great to meet and ride with all of you : )

    Well behaved bunch. My speedo does not go over 100km.........so I have no idea what happened on the 115 (muahahahahaha)

    Gixxie turned 30K too; after that 700km ride!

    I still can't believe I said no to MOOSETRACKS - next time I'll have to save room for two scoops!

    Speaking of moose - that was a nice sight through Algonquin

    Re: Algonquin Park Ride May 24th

    Like expected, we saw you guys through Algonquin. I was gonna ask if you saw the moose as well, but I take it you did. We got some pics of it, and of our trip if you're interested in looking:
