Ontario TY Ride 2009 feeler

[Crewchief47]

I am considering organizing this myself this year but need some interest from one or two guys local to my target area.

1) I am aiming for Sturgeon Falls. It's located 20ish minutes west of North Bay. The reason for this is I will probably have access to a garage in Cache Bay if it is needed for any repair/tuning work(Still need to talk to the owner to confirm).

2) There is a Comfort Innlocated in Sturgeon Falls with a pool that should be able to accomadate future growth. I have NOT contacted this hotel for a group rate yet.

3) Yamaha dealers in Verner and North Bay(at least I think North Bay, seems to change yearly).

4) 95% date of Feb 27-mar 1 weekend. This would only change if I discover that a poker run or similar event is planned for the area on that date.

5) I would like to have at least 1 guy familiar with the local area for boondocking. The trails are fairly straight forward and I should have 1 guy(dude with the garage, just moved there in summer 2007) plus myself(I've been through the area twice) for on trail info.

I really would like to see this happen this year but need a little help in the areas mentioned above. This ride will probably start out small, but could grow quite rapidly in the years to come with some commitments now.

If you can see any possible problems with any of the above, air them out here, but I'm pretty firm on location at this point.

Not sure what info your looking for?

Planning on staying in Sturgeon Falls with day trips.

I may be in for this...we get up to Canada at least once a year. Usually we stay around the Huntsville (last year it was Bracebridge) area so North Bay I guess would be tacking on about an hour more drive time for us.

Hey Crew,
I'm in too.
You just need to get a 100% on a date and I think that will help folks book hotels and time
off work (that's the deal breaker for me) I think the more time we have ahead to book off the better.
Maybe we can get some folks south of the border to come up too.
Not familiar with the area, but will help if I can,
Rick.

Yes, I just need to hammer out some phone calls to firm up the date/location. I have an email into the Near North Trail Assoc. to try and identify any club events that might be occuring on the proposed date. Hopefully another two weeks max, but don't hold me to it.

I might be in...every year we keep saying "we have to run up north for a trip" and end up NOT going so this maybe the ONE...once you have confirmed FIRM dates I'll check my agenda...looking forward to it! we'd be 2 sleds.

I would be interested in this trip myself, it would be nice to also check out the races they have in Northbay also
