Sure Eric. I just posted the info in the other thread of mine. Should be departing the Timmies at Thickson Rd. / Consumers Dr. at 1015. I was considering the 2nd Cup Place cause you know how much I like my latte in the morning. Maybe i'll have 5 to 10 minutes to break away from the Timmies there and grab me one ..... hehehe. See you Saturday.Spinkx79 wrote: John, what time you going to be passin Whitby?
Want to meet at the secret spot?

I was thinking something like how the RX-7 Ottawa trip worked, a nice detailed turn by turn directions.
Thanks

For the meet location, we haven't quite decided since their is controversy on changing the location or not. Personally, I'm against moving it, it's in a central location for those who just want to attend the meet, as well as tradition.
This is the artinerary I had though up in our last discussion:
12pm-4pm, Meet and BBQ
4:00, leave to head to the cruise starting point
4:30, start the cruise
5:30, rest stop at Port Dalhousie (#6). Maybe arrange a refuel point.
6:00, head back out for the second leg of the cruise
7:00, arrive at Lundy's Lane, There's a few restauraunts withing walking distance of the No Frills/cruise night meeting place.
Hang around, check out other cars and people, including the NF tourists, check out our cars.
One thing I've been contemplating is having a BBQ at the meet, or use Hutches as the pre-cruise stop and eat there.
For the cruise, given JWMX3's suggestion for Ridge Rd, as well as (for what I remember driving with my parents as a kid) following the Niagara River, this is what I'm figuring for a cruise path:
(Don't mind all the numbers, I had to add "Stops" in Streets & Trips to force it to take certain roads)
- Ridge Rd
- King St
- 7th St
- Lakeshore Rd
- East and West Line
- Niagara Parkway
- Bridge St to Stanley Ave to Lundy's Lane.
It calculated as a 1h29min drive, driving 91.9kms
#6 Would be a good rest/catchup point.

As well, something in the next week or two, I would like to organise a meet/cruise in Hamilton to verify the cruise route for the meet. I would like to have it on a Sunday to coincide with the cruise night at Niagara Falls/Lundy's Lane No Frills parking lot, but it's a work night, for those who work, so that may change, and I don't know if the cruise nights have started yet
Selecta wrote:Hey Guys,
Will be there but won't be able to join youz all for the cruise...have to head back to Toronto for support. But will be there for a couple of hours at least.
Is there going to be some sort of gathering in my neck of the woods to drive up together?
jschrauwen wrote:Well Kevin (the "oven) Ovendank is still in Kelowna, and I don't see anyone from Ottawa/Gatineau/Hull posting their intentions. Kyle Kizzel in Cornwall hasn't answered his pm yet and the girls in Peterborough and Ponty Pool haven't spoken up yet either. The furthest east person will be Deb from Kingston. Based on that, I'd like to set the place and timimgs for our litttle cruise.
Time Depart
0900 Timmies Trenton near 401 ramp, across from Holiday Inn. Sunoco gas available.
1015 Timmies in Whitby at Thickson Rd/ Consumers Dr. intersection (1st lights from Thickson Rd. off-ramp) Sunoco gas available.
This should give Deb ample time to split off from the pact just before Mississauga to continue onto Burlington, finalize accomodations and return to Mississauga at or around 12 to 1 pm, max.
Those that have not posted yet and are still considering on joining the group and need another pick-up point enroute should mention so ASAP so as to see if a timing modification is needed. I've based these timings on the consideration that it's a Saturday. Meaning that as the morning wears on, the traffic will get increasingly congested. This also means that we may arrive just slightly before 12 noon if we don't run into any extraneous snags or traffic enroute. I'm giving us a little bit of a buffer just to slightly compensate. Please post any questions or concerns. See you all Saturday.
I'll post a more detailed version. I don't have that original map (it's saved on my home computer), I redid the route here. Although it seems to be slightly different, I don't see why what would be, but I'll post some some zoomed in pics tonight.kp2t wrote:i saw that, but thats just an overview map, if i am not mistaken
