2k9 GTAM Meet at the Ganny... let's organize a ride!!!

[Z1K]

a) I was with the guy that came to bethany 2k9 with us and held up our pack so much that everyone vowed never to ride with him again

and

b) I was on my cr125 after _trying_ to fix a coolant leak (major failure) so I ended up riding 20 mins, then limping back to my van filling the rad every 5 mins. ( http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum...ad.php?t=95418 )

So believe me, you are GLAD I didn't invite you along!!!

That being said, you and I _must_ go riding again before the season is over Rob... I always have a great time riding with you and we seem to enjoy the same pace.

A) I heard some complaints that day but he is always welcome on any ride I'm on.

and

B) I would have McGuyvered that ish together with a leaf and some bubble gum. Not only would have it been water tight, it would have made your bike feel like a 250.



Someone should get a meet going though. All welcome. Noob or Pro. Bring in a couple BBQs, take over P2 and make the day of it.

Sounds like a great plan to me!!

I'm practically ALWAYS up for a trip to the Ganny... I prefer Saturdays if possible, but if a Sunday works better for the majority who am I to complain :)

[joeboo]

Yes Please!

Weather for Clarington region this weekend:



Only 1mm of rain predicted for this Sunday... any riders interested???

Yep.

[joeboo]

I am

[Xhumeka]

So far we have myself, z1k, twostroke, and joeboo potentially interested in a ride this Sunday... anyone else??

How does meeting at P3 parking lot for 10am sound? P3 offers more room (especially for a bbq lunch) than P2.

Anyone have a portable barbeque? I don't I'm afraid

Here's a decent map of the West forest:

I also have a GPS file that has 3 or 4 of my recent rides that you could upload to your GPS unit (if you have one) that will show you a lot of trails (both single-track and double-track). I'll post a link to the GPS file if you're interested...

I'm not that advanced yet.....don't have a gps
I'll have to get one.
Ended up riding somewhere else today, buy I'll go on Saturday cause I think it will be much hotter and humid on Sunday.

P3 sounds good.

I'll check and see if I can find my little bbq tomorrow. I'll post up if I do. But if I don't then sammiches will have to do.

[joeboo]

Umm where's P3 ? can anyone send a googlemaps link?

I'm up for a ride this Sunday! Though I don't have a BBQ. I'll either be nibbling on a stack of snack bars or I'll stop at that little chip-truck place right on the other side of the highway.

I'll have my GPS, but I lost my forest map on one of the rides. I suppose I could print out the one that was linked to on this thread

Regards,

Mike

Here's a map:

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...55189&t=h&z=14

If you zoom in at B you will notice a dirt road heading straight south of there. Go in there. You will come to a small lot with a large sign in it. That is P2. When you get there you will notice another road on your right. Take that to get to P3.

No need for GPS in the ganny. Just pick a trail and go.

[Xhumeka]

hhahah, for some reason, your googlemap link takes me to Winnipeg Z1K.

P3 is shown in that map I linked earlier in this thread, but here's a section of it to show you where it is in releation to P2:



Basically you just exit Boundary Rd. at the p2 exit, then just keep driving past P2 (make a right when you can't drive any further and follow that "road") until you get to p3.

The weather forecast has changed a bit, hopefully it will still be ok for riding. It's definitely going to be a hot day, so bring lots of water!

Eating at that chip place sounds like a good idea Bit - I've never been there before but i've heard you talk of it a few times so I'd like to check it out!

See you guys tomorrow 10am at P3!

[twostroke]

i have extra room in my truck if anyone wants a ride. i live in mississauga

[Xhumeka]

Weather doesn't look too bad for tomorrow afterall:



Half a cm overnight tonight will keep the dust away - Less than 1mm in the morning and afternoon will help cool us off

Let's go guys, who else is coming? I still have 1 spot available in my trailer and twostroke also has a spot on his truck - no excuses!!! Get y0 butts out to the Ganny!!!!

[Xhumeka]

PS - in case you're having problems finding us look for a green pontiac minivan towing a Husqvarna te450 and Yamaha WR450F.

I was there today, perfect weather..... a little dusty though. Watch out for some of the those ruts from the rains, one fella injured his shoulder after he caught one and took a tumble.

taking a tumble is half the fun of riding in the dirt!

close to a half cm of rain overnight combined wth some drizzle in the morn/aft should HOPEFULLY make for some slippery riding - I plan to capture some of the action on my helmetcam

that being said i hope your buddy with the injured shoulder is alright - i never like to see people injured from riding.
