Aggressive schedule. Good luck! Oh, and that was meant as "do not plan on camping". Bring 5L of bug spray too.

No camping is recommended. You can book a room in Radisson. Or you can book a room in Matagami, ride half-way out to Rupert's Falls and back (that's a full day right there, and you'll need at least 10L fuel can with you), but that's not getting you to the Bay itself.

It depends on your destination. The southern-most point is Fort-Rupert, and that's already 1300km from Toronto. The better destination is way up past Rupert's Falls, but that stretch alone takes one day to go up, and a full day to return. Don't plan on night riding, the bear and moose out there...

You'll need a lot more than 3 days, I've done the trip 3x and less than 4 days is simply unattainable. Words to the wise... The roads north of North Bay deteriorate severely. By the time you get to Rouyn Noranda, you'll be crying for a break and a soft mattress.

Drinking and riding is not tolerated. There will be none of that. We use spittoons.

Last year (2014) we didn't have a wine ride set up on account of getting married in the middle of the wine-tasting time frame; the previous year (2013) we cancelled the first attempt on account of bad weather - and didn't bother reposting due to shortage of interest... .. so: is there any...

Exactly one week to go till the event. Over the past 3 weeks we lost 5 registered members from our team - so we still need support. If you find yourself with available time next weekend, even for just one day, consider registering and joining the Moto Safety team, we need more help especially...

How true: exactly as you say. Only, as an aside: the company isn't a charity, only the event(s) run by the company is a charity event - but it remains "for-profit". All of you nay-sayers who shudder at the thought of committing $25 for registration: DON'T COME, do us all a favour and find...

Remember that this is a FOR-PROFIT organization, but still the funds raised go to the hospital - as they do for the Lottery, the Hockey games, and whatever else the hospital is putting together to raise more money and increase awareness. But the most important thing to remember is that YOU - as...

Tony (and -D-), it's not about incentives, it's about participation. The $25 registration fee has a wide number of purposes - the first of which serves as a commitment to participate: some people would shrug off the $25 and not show up, but the majority of people who commit AND pay up usually...

My name is Nick and - together with the other two co-captains - would like to give you a more detailed intro to the Moto Safety Team and our roles. I understand some of you wish to join us, which is fantastic: we need about 100~120 people for this year's event. Last year (the 7th anniversary of...
