7th Annual Bruce County Meet - July 27, 28, 29

The 7th Annual Bruce County Meet -
July 27, 28, 29 - 2012




FRIDAY night starts with a BBQ at Bass’s place, courtesy of the Grey-Bruce Rotorheads. Afterwards, we will be swapping stories around a bonfire while we hand out goodie bags. For the more adventurous rotorheads, there’s a great watering hole just around the corner. Be sure to BYOB and your own bedding if you're going to be staying at my place Friday night and/or Saturday night.




SATURDAY starts with a homemade breakfast served up fresh by the members of the GBR.
Breakfast will include various breakfast casseroles, toast milk, juice, and coffee. Then it's off on our day-long cruise where we'll be visiting two coastlines along the Bruce Peninsula which is full of fantastic twisty roads and coastline views. We will be stopping for lunch en route.



Be sure to bring your camera. There will be plenty of great photographic moments to be captured throughout the route that we're taking.

After the cruise, the Grey-Bruce Rotorheads will be serving up a fabulous Bruce County steak dinner back at Bass’s place. Again, BYOB will be in effect.
We'll also be having our door prize draw during dinner.




SUNDAY starts with another homemade breakfast including bacon, eggs and French toast served up fresh by, you guessed it, the GBR. After breakfast, we will again fire up the rotors and head out for our cruise along the Niagara Escarpment that takes us along our third coastline and deep twisty roads through the ski resorts of Blue Mountain. Again, lunch will be enroute.




Everyone will receive a goodie bag. Previous bags have included such items as: maps, magnets, sunblock, first aid kits, shave kits, sunblock, and water.

Everyone will also get the opportunity to enter the free draw for door prizes.

Previous prizes include such things as: digital multi-meters, various tools, electric screwdriver kit, die grinder and a car polisher ... just to name a few.




Please note: in order to help off-set our costs of food and prizes, we are charging a registration fee of:
$30 (if registered by June 30th) or $40 thereafter.

I'm in this year since I actually have a rotary engined car. Really looking forward to meeting more of the local guys and cruising through the great scenery of the area.

There is also a prize for best breakdown of the weekend. So even if you do break down, you at least get some consolation. This is a good list of people so far. It's looking like this years BCM is going to be epic!

Yes it is


With that being said, it is highly recommended that you use a vehicle that is mechanically sound. While the GBR have the tools, knowhow and a garage available nearby to assist emergencies, those who are new to the cruise should be advised that there are longs stretches of twisty roads that are well away from any town or village.

Are you ******* kidding me? We generally live in igloos year round, and have dog sleds too... Do they teach geography in school anymore?
