I just ran into a retired gentleman with a FD he is heading up that way around this time and would like to join us on his way back to Alberta.

 

Wow, we're getting a good turnout for this one. Hope everyone remembers their 2 way radios. They'll come in handy.

 

Cool. Is he staying over both nights?

Thanks for adding me to the list Bass! Can't wait to meet all you guys.

 

I'd be down but my motor is still sitting in my room and unless i can find a place during the week to put it in

i have space for the weekend so ill have to sit this one out

 

That sucks man. You had the best push start skills around.

 

He was like Sanka in Cool Runnings!

 

Bass, have you thought of doing a Google map with the route with stops, so we can all upload it to our GPS's?

 

^ Kind of like this.

We have never done such a thing, and likely never will, it's been my experience on other cruises that people will race ahead, and end up losing the rest of the group. This is why no route sheets are handed out, and or directions given.

 

A number of years ago, we decided not to give out maps/directions of the cruise route for a number of reasons, but primarily to avoid the temptation of racing. It will be very difficult for people to get lost on this route as we have a number of safeguards in place. It will be a follow-the-leader cruise with our hosting members located throughout the caravan, including the tail. I have given my cell number to those who have requested it, and FRS's will be used as well.

 

Bass, I already said it before, but I guess you missed it and the list didn't get updated.

I'm there on SUNDAY AS WELL!

 

No prob, it was just a thought. If it works don't mess with it.

 

Got er!

Feel the rhythem, feel the vibe, its cool runnings time!

man it was so much fun last time

 

Hey, my brother has a radio and he said it's like a cb radio, is that the right one to have? I don't know anything about them.

 

Should be the same thing. These are just the little hand held FRS radios that are like walkie talkies.

 

I guess it's time to invest into an FRS......

 

Yup, as long as it's not an actual hand-held CB radio. They run on a different set of frequencies.

 

k perfect, i should have one then

 

I agree with this one. A lot of work goes into planning these type of things and never mind driving around using you own gas. Most people don't read it anyway knor people return all the pace notes only to produce more for the next year. I find that people will pay more attention specially if you do it like what the bikers do.

Good luck with the event and I might be able to make it on Sunday.

 

well im just leaving London now il will need an oil change tho i guess il call bass and see if i still got time or if i should do one at home.
il see you guys there soon

 

Thanks Bass for a great cruise.. I don't think we got to do the drive-by filming though, that would have been cool... never been to the west side of Ontario ever until now.

 

yea thanks for an awesome time. and footman, when we were in owen sound, when we went to the rusty gull...or something....they had a cam filming us coming down.

 

The roads of grey-bruce are always fun to drive, thanks to everyone for coming out. It was an awesome time. The largest turn-out we have had so far. Thanks to Bass, Nismo_Convert, Buggy and chris_bohnert for donating food and time. Without them this event would never have come together.
It was too bad not everyone stuck around for supper when we got back on Saturday night. We had the prize draw on Sunday after breakfast...Great prizes were won. Thanks to Mac Tools and Snap-On for their prize donations...
