Hi TJ,
The forecast for tomorrow looks pretty much perfect, so you can definitely count me in. Same place same time unless someone needs it to be different I suppose. I'll look into possible routes so we have somewhere to go. Cheers, Owen |

Hi Guys:
Matt - It's usually 7:00pm at the Tim Horton's on Bank near Riverside. Has anyone ever seen this? It looks like it might be an RCMP training facility, but it would also make a very fun motorcycle track! I get the feeling it's off bounds though... nothing says "You're not welcome here" like barbed wire! http://maps.google.ca/?ll=45.445921,...55747&t=h&z=15 Cheers, Owen |

I'll be there for sure.
Owen, I'm up for that! Matt, if you want to plan something, do it up! Wednesday nights we try to stay around Ottawa, as there are some riders who only have an M1 and it is a work day the next day. Longer trips, if it's a Saturday I'm there!

To do a real good job cleaning your chain, you can take the chain off your bike and soak it in some gasoline. Or you can just go and buy some chain cleaner in a spray can. It was like $12 or something like that at GoodTime Center. Just spray it on your chain, wait for it to dry (make sure you have some newspaper underneath, it will drip) and then apply your chain lube.

I am contemplating joining you guys !
I have a nice green 250r and she's ready to go but I only have 200km on the road behind me. I have taken the course and I think I should be good but I definitely don't wanna hold u up or be too far behind the group. What's the general skill level in the group? Quote:

Hi quanttrom,
You should definitely join us for a ride! There are plenty of folks in their first season, and some who just got their M1. We won't be leaving anyone behind. As for the parking lot session, I think we can leave that up to the group to decide tonight. It's definitely do-able, but I'm not sure if people would rather just do a normal ride. This weekend I'll be away at a cottage, but I'll be back by Sunday so perhaps we could plan for something Sunday afternoon or morning. I'm also bent on trying some of the routes near Calabogie, specifically the one between Calabogie and Griffith. According to this site, it's "one of the best in Eastern Ontario". We would need a full 4 hours to pull something like that off though, so it's kind of a full day affair. http://www.themcdonalds.net/~themcdo...nial_Lake_Road Cheers, Owen |

Yeah... I used Google Maps and Bing to try and get a better look, and it looks very well fenced off with the exception of the entrance from St. Joseph which looks open. Still doesn't mean you can just show up and ride there, but I might take my car and give it a closer look one of these days just for kicks.
It kills me that there are places like this in town and I'm not riding on them! temps: Welcome! I hope to see you out there tonight. Regards, Owen |

I managed to loose you after I stopped at a red light and didn't find you after. Oh well It was still fun.
I agree with the new proposed meeting spot. There is a lot more space at that location ! |

Have a good weekend! Dave

Just be careful. On the weekends, that park is loaded with slow cars, tons of bikers and A LOT of cops. Best time to go is during the week in the evening.
