    2025 Day Trips!

    I think it might be the detour suggestion when you approach from the east. I've been using this road ever since I discovered it had been completely paved between 10 Sideroad and Terra Nova about 15 years ago. There's a couple of sharper corners near the north end that tend to have gravel kicked...

    2025 Day Trips!

    Up Second Line from 10 Sideroad? That's one of my favourite rides!

    Best Ride Eva!!!

    Shane must really like you to put up with all those changes to his ride:D. You guys went up to cottage country on a holiday Monday?! That's something I would avoid at all costs. I did a ride with him years ago (May 2016) and we stopped lake side and ate our lunches we were told to bring along...

    River Rd (Horning's Mills) road closure

    You have to pick and choose the time and the days you ride Airport Road. I usually just use Airport Road to get between the east/west roads that I find fun to ride. It typically moves at 15 to 20 over and experiences extreme traffic volumes on Friday evenings northbound and Sunday afternoons in...

    Hockley Road section closed

    And a heads up, the detour via Sideroad 15 is all gravel. Better to use Sideroad 5 to the south of Hockley as it's paved.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I don't know what they expect to get. The rejected offer looked pretty good to me. Every Union on the planet seems to dislike part-time workers, but if your membership doesn't want to work OT or weekends, that's where the part-times would be useful as a second shift. It will be interesting to...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    That used to happen to us on a regular basis at our last house. The superbox that served our 41-unit townhouse development was rather small and didn't have the larger package areas like some newer boxes. Since the majority of people in that area worked outside of their home, I expect that the...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Please let us know which Essa Sideroad this is. I've ridden through this area many times and have never seen a camera. I'm fully expecting Mono Council to declare Hockley Road a community safety zone and stick cameras in the newly created 50 kph areas on either side of Airport Road.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    We lived there for 10 years. Bought our first two homes in the "G" section. Got out of there in 1991 and never looked back. Sister in-law still lives there so we have to occasionally visit.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Just another reason to avoid driving in, through, or near Brampton. They must be raking in the $$$ with the quality of driver I've seen from that City.🤣 Trying to get through there on the 410 is an exercise in self preservation.

    Haven't heard or seen that one. Post up a sample if you can.

    Wow, I thought it would take longer than that! Not all heroes wear capes. Bravo to those involved.

    Darksiders beware...

    A few years ago I was on a ride with another online group that consisted of Honda ST's, FJR's and BMW's and was following an FJR rider with a car tire. He was riding two-up and I had a good view of how the bike performed on a very twisty road. I was genuinely impressed at how well his bike...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    And yet somehow the driver of the SUV will likely be blamed for this collision and possibly sued by the cyclist. Traffic controls are there for everyone, including cyclists. If you disobey the posted signs and signals you risk the consequences of your actions. Fortunately in this case the only...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Who wouldn't like a 22% to 42% raise? It doesn't say if this is per year or over a few years. In any event, this issue might just end DHL Express operations in Canada. All those customers the Union says depend on their service will be looking elsewhere to ship their products. I expect the union...
