Niagara River Parkway run 2013
- Thread starter bfrench
- Start date
And a Nexus card doesn't hurt either.. Denali n DOO said:Ya I hear ya, that's whats stopping me from going south to the meets, the damn border crossing...I do believe I'll be getting a passport before December tho cuz I just found something else cheaper in the States, snowmobile full season trail pass our prices $260 Ontario and go figure Michigan is only $50.00. I hope to meet you at a meet sometime in the future...
Hey Northcreek, I believe your close to the border, come join us. I'm not sure who else is close enough but we'd love to have ya at the meet. I'd like to see bfrench's Niagara River Run become an Annual International Meet, and with a Sticky too
Denali n DOO, let me know if you're planning a Michigan sled run. I've never run outside of Ontario but would be up for the adventure. We were considering Quebec this winter but you need to be 16 to drive and my 15 year old wasn't keen on riding on the back. My friend from New Liskeard sent me pictures of out cottage on Saturday. The dock is still buried with snow and they are still riding. I'm almost tempted to load the sled for a trip this weekend just to say that I've ridden in May in Ontario.
Back on topic. I won't attend the Niagara tour, even though it sounds fun.

Too bad you can't do Niagara this year, that's alright there will be a next year too!
Michigan trail full season pass for $50.00 is definitely on my list this December! Quebec is ridiculous at $340.00 full season bit I hear It's good there. Michigan at $50 + beer, food, gas and accommodations are all cheaper. I can also get to Michigan quicker than to Liskeard, so it just kinda makes sense. Here's some pics from Liskeard on March 23rd this year, the latest I've ever sledded. http://gmtnation.com/f72/snowmobiling-northern-ontario-march-23rd-7010/, I'll definitely be doing Michigan so I'll keep ya posted
Hi, Folks,
Here's our Niagara meeting place - suggest no later than 10:30 AM - that's morning time for you night owls
Here's the crappy pic from the Google Earth screen capture - can't believe they haven't updated it yet.
North is at the top - so we'll meet in the southeast corner bordered by Montrose Rd and Canadian Drive
These are approximate routes - if you wish you can go to Google Maps and do larger blow ups for yourself or enter the route in your gps.
Any questions- just holler
Cheers,
Bill French

I then proceeded to text Harmless and heckle him about it...
Apparently that text could cost me some sort of "electrical issue" during the run however...
Maybe Harmless likes Double Stuffed Oreos as well! Make him a Mega Double Stuffed like this one and I bet you have no electrical gremlins...

I'll bring my tow rope just in case. You know, just in case you've just pissed off your electrician.

But I don't like Oreos.
Pirate Peanut Butter Cookies on the other hand.... Now we're talking!
Or a loaded newfie (or poutine)...

We will be returning from this years Storm Chasing trip on Victoria Day, if funds are still available and the truck is relatively in one piece I will try to make it up.
+1 for the canal, I was a wheels man on a coastal freighter and seeing the canal is pretty impressive. Plus there are some nice looking vessels going through there if you are into that kind of thing.

Ok, it's been a while since there's been any action on this.... is everyone still a go regarding it???
Based on what the WeatherNetwork says, the weather should be pretty good on the Saturday.... let's hope it stays that way!
Have any of you managed to "persuade" any other GMT's to attend???

We could add this to the end of the River Tour if we have enough time - would take approx another 30 minutes or so - then you're close to the QEW

Since we're set to meet up in Niagara between 10-10:30, is there anyone coming from Toronto who wants to meet up at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke between 8-8:30am and then make our way down to Niagara to meet up with the rest of the folks??
I'm thinking of the north-east corner of the parking lot... at the intersection of The Queensway & Sherway Garnes Rd to be specific...
If you're interested, let me know any we'll firm up the plans...

Ok, we've got a couple days until the meet....
First things first: Is everyone still planning on showing up???
Aside from Ryda55555, Harmless & myself, is there anyone else planning on showing up at Sherway Gardens to meet up and then convoy in??
Note: Based on what Google says, it's gonna take little more than an hour to get to the meeting point (Niagara Square) from Sherway Gardens....
Something to keep in mind:
If you aren't going to make it on Saturday (for whatever reason), that's fine, but let us know in this thread so we're not all sitting around waiting for you!!! Please, please, PLEASE!!
