Humber College - Easter Weekend Basic Course

Yes...officially the 2012 motorcycle season began last weekend with the first Humber basic weekend course

This weekend, again, a full complement...eighty students

A chilly 2*C Saturday morning turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon...an abundance of blue sky

After a balmy Easter Sunday morning, dark sinister clouds to the north started to roll in accompanied by gusty winds...arrrgh!

Oakville Muffling Motorcycles

"Oakville Muffling Motorcycles"

I believe, Belfountain was first in Ontario to introduce noise restrictions on motorcycles.

So, who's next?

Would you believe it's the Town of Oakville?

Forks of the Credit

Despite overcast skies, the forecast this Sunday was for a comfy high of 14 degrees with no rain till the evening.

Like a crack addict getting his last fix before an intervention, I managed to convince my lovely wife to partake on what might be our last ride of the season.

Here's a brief pictorial of  our ride through the lovely Caledon Hills which includes a stop at the Sprit Tree Estate Cidery

November 8, 2011 Ride



Lynn and Darek



Morning was rainy, around noon in Waterdown (top of Niagara Escarpment)  was fog but decided to get some short ride in. Destination?Nowhere!

I take Snake Rd then ride through Crooks Hollow Conservation Area then take Weirs Ln to Dundas Valley Conser.Area, (lots of curves), Ancaster  traffic was not 2 bad. Beautiful and sunny weather, so I go to through Six Nation Indian Reserve and finally arrive at Wind Mill Restaurant in Mt Pleasant. Take a quick stop to relax my butt :).

November Ride

Monday November 7th.

Nice enough for another quick ride today.

Headed out at 10:30 going west.  Rode Snake road, and towards Sydenham Road into Dundas.  A quick stop at the overlook on Sydenham and there were two long skate boarders getting ready to go down the hill into Dundas....

Breakfast at Zet's

When Lynn and I arrived at Zet's, Dan and Dave Hes had already sequestered a sitting area.

• Darek and Edyta showed up from Waterdown and were looking for 2 wheel Fred.

Last Kick at the Can

Woke up early this morning to a temp of 2*C...Yikes!

After a brief livery, at Barney Danson's  funeral, the temps rose dramatically

By the time I got home, around noon, it was 14*C and Lynn was out taking a walk. As I was changing my clothes she returned with an exclamation, "Boy is it warm out there, let's ride!"

Fall Ride

We too decided today to fire up the engines and take advantage of this incredibe fall weather.

Saddled up sometime after noon-ish to take in some of the north of the GTA scenery via the backroads between the sprawling metropolitan Mississauga and the more subdued streets of Alliston...
