2016 National Meet - Post discussion here not Official Forum

Post by Wolfpack »

Just throwing this out for discussion , with this years meet gone and no commitment for 2015 was thinking of being more in the center and mid week!
Most of the major centers are a 3 day ride for Fort Frances .
Also think of mid week so ride to the meet Saturday ,Sunday arrive Monday : Meet - Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday , ride back Friday ,Saturday and Sunday.
Basically it should only be a one week commitment for the meet.
Also assume Big Dave and his crew will be doing the Midland in July so was thinking so time in late June or Early August.
So lets think about it and figure if we have enough interest in it to even start planning for it.
Fort Frances offers many Hotel/Motels and yes there is a Tims , LCBO (beer and Liquor) and many other chains

Seems reasonable being in the middle! Early August would be best...

I would be interested to make the run.

Lots of skeeters in that neck of the woods!

Will do .... after it looks like it will be worth his time hope to get some discussion on the forum and a commitment both both east and west riders, only a couple people from east and west commit it really wouldn't be worth his or my time!

If I find a short chevy van to build, and get it done up so I can do a family run to ontario, I would be down for this - but not as a stand alone trip - too much *transit* time involved :cool:

Nice little town...Is this the only Motel around? I also noticed the US border crossing, any good riding spots nearby both north and south of the border?

Lynn and I are committed t Sturgis with friends from NS again for 2016 so that likely won't work for us.

So far it looks like our major 2015 ride is looking to be back to the west coast, not sure of the timing yet, but we are working on it.

Makes logical sense to bring "Meet in the Middle" somewhere close to the middle.
This was the reason the original meet location was chosen.
Will be watching, to see how this moves along as time passes.
It's NOT about the destination........ The Journey is what counts. :cool:
and,
If the Sun is at your back, and the wind is your creation... It's a good day. :)
