I've been planning a Saddlesore 1600 since last summer. I tried to make it happen in June but stuff kept not working out. So I'm pulling out tomorrow (07/29/2010) morning at 4am with the basic route as follows:

Sudbury

Sault Saint Marie

Wawa

Timmins

North Bay

Orillia

Sudbury

Total kilometerage (?!) is 1704 per MapSucks and 1716 per S&T. I should be safe.

Other routes were layed out but I've chosen to go with this one as, except for Wawa, I'm never more than 3hrs from home should I decide to bail. Things still aren't working out so, well, **** it. I'm going anyway. As well a pretty good chunk of the route is posted at 100Km/h so I should be able to make up some tracks from the night driving and 90Km/h areas.

Did a little math based on avg overall speeds and came up with the following arrival times based on a 4am departure:

Avg Time Arrival

110 15:27 07:27:00 PM

105 16:11 08:11:00 PM

100 17:00 09:00:00 PM

95 17:53 09:53:00 PM

90 18:53 10:53:00 PM

85 20:00 12:00:00 AM

80 21:15 01:15:00 AM

75 22:39 02:39:00 AM

70 00:17 04:17:00 AM <- this one is RIGHT OUT!

Now if you'll 'scuse me, I've got a few thing to take care of and get my *** into bed.

 
Go Bungie, Go!

A good thing about these rides, is that everything doesn't have to be right! You just have to start, and keep moving!

Good Luck!

 
Good luck Bungie! We'll be keeping track of you on the Spot tomorrow.

BTW - give the "Old Woman" in the Bay a little smile for me when you pass her tomorrow. :)

I can't hope to compete with Frenchy's soon to be pinned Alaska thread so I'll keep this short.

Went to bed at 10pm. Brain won't stop. Up at 11 for a samich. Back to bed. I think it was 1am before sleep finally hit me. Mental note, double efforts to kill brain with beer. Up at 3. ****, skip the shave in the interest of speed, Shower. Shovel in some breakfast and we'll be on the road in about 15 minutes.

Now back to the Frenchy show!

 
I see you're around Wawa (1105h here in Freddy).

So you're riding right by this guy. Hope it's not too foggy up there!

Go Bungie Go! :clapping:

He's making good time, headed to Timmins... say hi to Shania for me, and tell her I'm sorry about the other night ;)

What happened? You couldn't get it up to see her ? :rolleyes:

As you well know Mary Ellen, a gentleman never discusses such matters :rolleyes:

As for Bungie, he's almost ready to turn south on 11... the boy is making great time.
