I don’t think this community has a lot of ride stuff. How about posting some planned rides with open invites for the site members?

List a few things:

Route (with stops or accommodations if overnight)
Date
Terrain ( hwy, road, gravel, off-road)
Experience requirements

@shanekingsley does a nice job of describing his rides, how about a few more of us?
 
I’ll do the first.

I to 4 riders
April 10 departure
GTA to Timmins
Route: 400-144-69-144. 725 km, 8 hrs
Accommodations: @Mad Mike’s house in timmins, free - space for 4 riders.
Experience: must be able to do 800km over 8 hrs. Handle romps at 120kmh, pee breaks at 3 hrs.
Extras: fishing excursion on Porcupine lake for pike and pickerel (bring fishing licence, boat, rods and tackle provided)

I'd be up for this one but I have to be a "maybe" until a bit closer to the date.
 
April 10 up in Timmins could be flakey but props ... good idea.
 
Sounds like a KLR friendly ride. Not sure what's on for April yet though.

Are you thinking mostly a fishing trip or you plan to the Travel Gravel up there?
 
Mad Mike very gracious of you to offer a free stay and a fishing excursion on top. If later in season would be all over this. Great idea for a thread and lets hope its lasts.
 
Anyone that wants to come East from the GTA, I'm happy to meet anywhere North and West of Bancroft etc. and run a little ride through some great roads more local to me (depending on how far North). Warning: I don't ride dead on the signed speed and I avoid long straight roads. Happy to run as far east as Ottawa and as far North as Wilno, though it's a bit of a snooze riding from Barry's Bay to the turnoff to Confederation Lake / Old Calabogie.

I stay off the roads Sat-Sun but I'm in for weekday rides in that are as well.
