The Season Getting Short and the Colours are Changing !


What / Where:

Relaxed pace ride (Newb Friendly) Meeting at the Parking lot on the South West corner of Hwy 400 & Hwy 9.

Heading North West to some good vantage points on the Niagara Escarpment stopping to take pictures of the Fall Colours in a area with a lot of Biodiversity. Hockley Valley, Horseshoe Valley Area, Ending up in the Collingwood Area at the Scenic Caves at the top of Blue Mountain.

If there's Interest, I was thinking of arranging a quick Tour of the Creemore Springs Brewery.

When:

Meet at 9:30am. Leaving from Hwy 400 and Hwy 9 at 10AM Sharp Sat Oct 11th. Meet at the Park and Ride Parking lot on the South/West Side

*** EDIT ***

Because there's a lot of people coming from the West We'll have a second meeting spot:

Tim Hortons, Hwy 10 in Orangeville at 10:30am. We`ll be coming straight across Hwy 9 to Orangeville.

We will be in Creemore at Lunch time for the Tour of Creemore Springs Brewery.
I've arranged a special with the owner of the Old Mill House Pub next door to the brewery.

Veal Sandwich, Fries and a Pop

Sounds pleasing. I should be good to go. That pic looks like a gravel road though!

I've always thought that the Niagara Escarpment was the Burlington area?

[R1girl]

What a great idea, John!! I love fall colours and I love photography and I love riding!! What more could you ask for?! Count me in!

[slogan]

Sounds really good! I'm in for that ride

No Gravel Roads.. There's a couple of short sections of gravel leading to some nice old bridges over some scenic creeks. The Niagara Escarpment runs from Niagara to Milton, Collingwood all the way to Tobermory . As a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve is area that is very unique area once you get a bit off the beaten path.

[Akshun]

Might be up for a relaxed paced ride and take pics myself....
I love fall.

[lmnop88]

Hope it happens on the 11th! I can't make the 12th.

Here's a pic for good measure

You Better Be

Depends how many bigger squids than me shows up

Depends how many bigger squids than me shows up

Squids and Hooligans would be bored out of their minds with the slow pace and frequent stops to take pictures.. The Wifeys coming so when I say relaxed pace I means REALLY relaxed pace. She doesn't like going more than 10kph or 15kph over.

[de Jager]

Great idea John. I'm in.

Just a note to everyone...dress warm with lots of layers. You will want to be able to add and remove layers at various stops.

[Jenerator]

This sounds awesome...will check with Slim and confirm.

[jenniferlandrews]

Might come out for a ride and to meet some people

[Brian P]

I should be open for this. Maybe I'll bring my cbr125 to keep y'all honest ...

[gizmogamez]

Hey John, sounds like fun.

[ninja44]

Hmmmm

[masalma]

Good time to bring out the camera, good idea John.

[squid pro quo]

worse that can happen is i'll ride-my-own-ride and respectfully bow out if the pace gets too hectic and i'm holding up the group.

[Vlad]

Good idea. I was thinking of doing something similar on my own, but it's always more fun in a group. I also prefer Saturdays, so chances are you'll see me there.
