The Great Canadian Turkey Point Ride.

[FLYIN_KAW]

hey guys go to the Chapters forums under damn yankee riders and fill out the poll. thanks.

 

[Peer Lovell]

So, is the ride actually on? Is it both days ( the 10th. and 1th. ) or just one?
Also, where is everyone going to be. I'm only one hour away and won't be camping, so where can I hook up?

 

[FLYIN_KAW]

hey Peer, we'll be there both days.
everyone who is camping will be in the whippoorwill camping area at turkey point provincial park. We can plan to meet there.

and the directions to the campground from Toronto ?

 

[Peer Lovell]

You can't ride your bike into the camping area. So, it would be best to arrange to meet at the park entrance. You can park there, plus you have access to trails on both sides of the road. If anyone is coming from Toronto etc. we can meet in the town on Simcoe and I can show you the way.
Let me know.

I know this idea sounds kinda gay, but there are going to be a lot of guys coming from different areas. Some camping and some not. Some coming Saturday and some Sunday.
It would be a shame to ride and not at least get to hook up with other DRN memebers.
The chances of all meeting up at once are slim.
So, at least, should we have some way of recognizing each other.
Say, something stuck on your helmet or something like that?
I'm petty comfortable with my sexuality, so I'm up for almost any idea.

For me anyway the 12x12"DRN Sticker on the rear window of my pickup should help people figure out what group I'm with! ;) Plus, I've got DRN fender stickers on my bike too. :) I'm open to any and all ideas though. Maybe we could set a know area as the "meeting point" and check back there periodically during the day?

check out the damn yankee's forum in the local chapters section. You'll find where we will be camping. Also we are looking at specific site numbers and will post where we'll be. There should be enough for the group to camp in the same area I hope. If not we can all group up there around the campfire anyway.

I voted and added a bit of local stuff to see.

 

[FLYIN_KAW]

thanks for the other info rmx

For all the Staters....If your wanting to pick up your favorite adult fermented hops and little bubblie for the thirst .... I asked Mister Lovell where does one aquire the delightful drink of choice. When you cross the bridge you can hit the duty free store. but there are restrictions on the amount brought into Canada and the USA. Peer said to hit ...The Beer Store. On highway 3 when you hit road 58 if I recall it right. the plaza on the left has The Beer store there.

 

[MRRMX]

Is everyone as pumped on this ride as I??

 

[Dapper]

:) :) :) :moon:
YUP!

 

[FLYIN_KAW]

oh ya. Don't duty free it. Can only get cans of beer. Unless you want cans. :) Otherwise there is a beer store in Simcoe. Last big town before Turkey Point, if you want to call it big. Well when you are out in the middle of nowhere, 10000 people can be big.

 

[MRRMX]

Id say Simcoe is a good sized place. all the fast food joints and stores.

 

[FLYIN_KAW]

Hey guys more info on the camping at Turkey Point.
I was a bit concerned about getting sites close together at the campground. I just got off the phone with the campground and apparently we can have up to 6 people 3 tents and 3 cars per site for 21.50 + 8.50 /vehicle. So the guys bringing a group they can get on one site and split the cost. Anyway we have to book the sites so they don't get filled. We need 100% for camping now, who is showing and I'll see about reserving a few spots ok. So who is comming for sure now.

 

[Peer Lovell]

I'm coming for sure. However, I only live 1 hour away, so I won't be camping.

 

[Dapper]

At the least I will be camping Saturday Night. Maybe the wife but she doesn't know anybody :whiner: So I said you'll meet people. Then I said they are no wierder than me :scream: I guess I should have chosen my words more carefully :moon:
