    Looking for someone to ride with on Saturday May 24th

    I want to go for a ride this Saturday (May 24th). I live downtown so ideally we'd meet up downtown-ish. I'm a new rider so want to go at a moderate speed. I don't really care how long the ride is, but I need to be back downtown by around 5 PM.

    Anyone up for a ride?

    Where downtown?

    I'm near the skydome. I was planning on going for a ride with a buddy for the afternoon. We're both new riders, so not looking for a fast pace.

    I'm at Bloor and Dovercourt.

    Since all of you are pretty close to each other and mauroACM can only meet at 11-ish wanna meet then. Where?

    Where are do you wanna go? and how far? I prefer outside the city. Was talking to swissRR, by pm, he might join us, his plan was to go to Niagara. Anyone interested in doing that? NO highways of course. Just side roads.

    Guys got any suggestions?

    Me and Montag should be able to do 11 no problem. We'll be at my place at Front/Spadina anyway. There's room for us to meet there if that works for everyone. Easy access to lakeshore east or west if we need to avoid the highways. I generally hop onto the gardiner and then 427 or DVP just to get out of the city quick, but I'm ok with going wherever.

    I'm willing to meet earlier if that is good with you, mauro? I not so keen on doing city riding it's something i can do anytime after work. You interested in doing the forks? Not far from the city we can meet abit early and then be back by 3:30.

    Well I can meet Lunatic and Montag at Front and Spadina @ 11 or earlier and then we all head over to the "park at lakeshore and park lawn" from to meet Mauro and then head to Forks?

    sound like a plan?

    That sounds good. I know the park we're talking about. We can be there by 11:30 easily. Which parking lot in there?

    Montag and I are going to be at the Harley Demo ride down the street from my place, so I'd prefer to stick to 11am. I want to have enough time to get a couple demo rides in.

    Maximus, you can meet us either at Front and Spadina @ 11 or the park at Lakeshore and Parklawn @ 11:30ish.
