After dinner one of the gang had an issue when the battery would not turn over his FJR. A few others assisted and they were able to bump start the bike. I almost had another encounter with a deer just immediately before turning onto Centennial Lake Rd when a fair sized doe decided to bound...

Friday's Ride After Chris gave me my keys back for my bike we had the Friday group gather up in front of the motel for a quick riders' meeting. We had 11 riders so we split into two groups to keep things manageable and headed out. We first crossed over into La Belle Province (Quebec) to sample...

I just posted the recommended ride for Saturday in the CFR Routes thead. Enjoy.

Here is a new route that will take you down for the Ompah Stomp. 550 km but you can shorten that by turning left at Snow Station onto CR36 that will take you over to Lanark. Ompah Loop GPX Ompah Loop GDB

Chris had my keys. He saw the keys in the topbox and took them but forgot to give them to me later that night. Crisis averted. I won't be changing my name to DCarver after all.

and the hits just keep on coming........ I can't find my bike keys this morning. I called the auto club and they don't have a local contractor so they just gave me a number of some local clown that doesn't answer the phone. My spare keys are in Bowmanville so I'm officially screwed. I'm...

The Elephant Lake Loop in GPX format Elephant Lake Route GPX

Thursday night dinner recommended location is JJ Restaurant, 601 Pembroke St East.

Things have now official gone to hell, KJ showed up with his Beemer.

I spent some of the morning at the local Canadian Tire looking for a few things the patch up the FJR after my deer strike yesterday. Chris saw my post and called me and Chris offered to bring me a foot peg off his old bike that we will install once he comes back from his ride. After I checked...

I was there for practice week in 2014 and the first super bike on Saturday. We had a rental bike and also rode the course during the day. This should be on everyone's bucket list.

I was puttering around on the FJR today checking out the section of the Elephant Lake Loop that goes to the restaurant on Clear Lake called Moose on the Beach. The restaurant was not open and after the restaurant the road turns to gravel and goes up a fairly steep hill. It would be a nasty...

It's a good thing you work for yourself because nobody would hire such a *******. See the 2016 CFR Route thread and no I'm not going to give the link because I'm a bad person.

Here is the waypoint for the diner in Wilberforce. Wiberforce Diner The Diner is just off the Elephant Lake Rd route. When you get to the bottom of Elephant Lake Rd at the 648 intersection near Harcourt turn right instead of left. Less than 5 miles to Wilberforce and there is also gas...

Chris (BugR) is bringing me the foot peg from his basketcase Gen 1. I will now have Gen 1 parts on my Gen II. How will I ever live through the shame of it all.

Had a few last minute administrative issues with the dirt bike group to iron out but finally rolled out of Bowmanville at 11:30, a little later than I would have liked. Fun times once again once I got the past Bobcaygeon on the 507 and County Rd 3 up towards Haliburton. This sign in Wilberforce...

I'm sitting in the Redneck Bistro in Calabogie enjoying a Calabogie Brewing Company K&P Ale. I am checking out a few new roads to me. Came across the Lavent Rd from Ompah the 511. Definately a different concept in road building. It is paved (sort of) and not for those with broken balls. That...

I've got dibs on the keg. The rest of you will have to find something else to drink. Ordered the steak too.

Very low key event this year. Might have a bottle of Forty Creek for greeting shots but after that it's just ride and then kick some tires afterwards. I have to leave Saturday morning so Bungie will be giving a seminar on navigation Saturday night.
