So where are we doing this?? haha

i think it said on page 2 or 3. it's some road that empties out to a lookout or dam.

so what would be the best way to get there from richmond hill

Okay it's the samw spot, I thought you guys changed it. All I saw was a bunch of places mentionned lol

hey guys i just put a post up on rps

oh, how quickly we forget...

the date is actually the 20 of december, the info posted above was changed.

and we are meeting at canadian tire, just down the road from timmies, cause the timmies parking lot is a) really small; and, b) really crowded on sunday morning...

i will post a map today of the meeting spot and where we are going....

as long as your truck is not lowered, but stock, you will be fine. since the snow has come n spades, this is turning more into a meet and off-road cruise then a full blown wheeling trip, which sucks, but mother nature is not co-operating. was kinda hoping to have the snow hold off till after our trip, but it has not, so going anywhere other then the main road is going to be a biatch!! but there will still be a few places to stop and get some good photo's and flex.

d-rock: head north on 400. follow Hwy. 11 at the split from the 400, north of barrie. keep heading north till you get to Orillia. Exit on Burnside Line. For timmies, head right its the second set of lights, for the meeting places, head left towards Crappy Tire, just after the first set of lights. You cant miss it.

ignore the lunch part about paying, we decided to do a pot luck style lunch. read through and see what everyone is bringing... are we still planning on having lunch out there??? or are we scrapping that, and maybe opting for a restaurant after???

here is the map, for everyones perusal...
Swift Rapids Meet, Orillia, ON - Google Maps

How much snow is there in Orillia? I just finally made it home from haliburton, we got 2 1/2 feet of snow over the last few days.

like the new hub caps for the wheels???
we got about 14-16 inches all said and done. these where taken friday afternoon when i went for a walk with the dogs at my local forest tract. sorry for the crappy quality, only had the iphone.

btw, i love snow. so pumped for next weekend.

Anyone else gonna air down their tires? I'm thinking 15psi

got a compressor to air back up??

cause it would be nice to air back up before hitting the main roads back to town. in a pinch, i got my trusty bike pump. lmao

There isn't anywhere to air back up close by? Like a gas station?

f some fun to be had i think i may have to ride with some 1

ya, back in town. (check the map i posted, its right across from timmies) its not that far, but i just dont like driving with under-inflated tires. but then again, depends on how much snow there will be. almost every time i went there, i would always run into hydro guys entering or leaving, so hopefully the road is not to bad. but i know the side trails are gonna be kinda "sketchy", to say the least. :mad:

here are two pics of the one side trail i wanted to try, and the snow has ruined that. dont mind the dogs, pics where taken in sept. its short but challenging. for sure next year when the snow has melted!!!
here is the point where you enter, not to steep and has a minor lip.

here is the back side, when you crest the hill. sharp right and pick your way down the rocks. with a spotter and some planning, a stock truck can make this. :ninja::rambo:

heading out there tomorrow or the next day... will take pics and see how bad it is.

d-rock - got room, since the wife is not coming

sick and nice dogs by the way

those dont look that bad, most trucks will make it

This is going to be AWSOME I am so pumped. Even with a little bit of snow it is going to be interesting. I just need to get a new drive shaft and I will be good to go.








And if any of the guys need directions or want to meet earlier that are coming from kingston let me know and we can tee something up.

6 more days

yes and no. the pictures make it look easier then it is, but like i said, some ninja like moves and some brute force and ignorance and you can make it.

a bit of snow eh?? will see. heading out today to take a look.

You said you were heading out like 2 days ago lol. Take pics of what it is like out there, this way we can have a idea of what to expect.

pics will be up today. sorry. been busy.

pics:
the road, as you can see, it has been cleared somewhat, but its still slippery
