Okay, it's that time of year again when I throw this topic into the Ontario Forum.

Good idea Kimmer



But as stated in the other thread, accomations are starting to run thin so book up now, rumour has it there's going to be a big blow out with free beer at cabin 9 at Summerlea Resort, Friday night

If anyone is looking to make it to both the PET ride and the HCS ride we may be able to work out a deal with another resort for a discount rate we've already spoken with them about the weekend extravaganza, But we won't aproach them until we have some more commitments.
I for one am very excited to meet all the Ontario Hcs crew and I'm anticipating a a very memorable weekend.

Yukon

Sooooo because i am staying in said cabin 9 does that mean i don't need to bring Beer???

this is turning in to being a great weekend.. thanks for the Family day off in feb... think it is going to be a LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG hung over ride home...

Kev

There should be a trail of free empties going from cabin 9 to cabin 2.

The wife prefers coolers so I guess i need to bring my own..Nutter won't share his Smirnoff ice!!

yikesss. So far things arn't looking great for me

Call in a bomb threat

Sorry guys, no go for me, too far south, I'd have to drive North, load, and drive south, unloadload, ride, load, drive north, unload, drive south to home, too much for me.

If any of you make it as far as Huntsville on a ride, let me know, got lot's of room for sleeping arrangements.

Free booze??

We've been known to have a few here and there

Wouldn't go over too well!

My Uncle lives in Huntsville on the Muskoka river. Brunnel road I believe I'll send you a PM when I plan to head that way for a weekend maybe you can show me around the trails. I usually do a annual sled ride from Honey harbour to Huntsville then to Parrysound and back. Fun little overnight tour with the wife and another couple.


Paul

Absolutely, let me know, I'm usually up every weekend.

So only 1 HCS ride

Oh well there is about 8 or so HCS riders here in Sudbury area

We will have our meet and greet 2nd weekend of Dec on Whitewater

No brother were in cabin 2, arrive after riding up from Port around 3 to 4ish, have a bite to eat then it's wash up for Friday night mass and choir practice ............. our cabin will be known as a spiritual place, Bible studies and prayer discussion only.





No Smirnoff for this guy ................. Beer up to 8200 rmp then it's redline ........ Motts premixed Ceasers

I think I got drunk just reading this thread. I hope the trails are groomed for the Sunday ride, I would hate to see see all those nice shiny machines covered in *()*)...............

I don't really drink that much anymore..But will have definatley a couple with this gang!!

Besides I'm away for the weekend with the wife and no kids........

Sounds like it will be a blast!

With the baby scheduled to arrive only a few short days before this ride there is NO chance I can be riding that weekend. Plus I am in the same position as Spiderman with my sled being further north.

However - perhaps if I am super supportive in the delivery room I might be able to make it up for a drink and meet all the other HCSers.

Congrats on getting something organized and best of luck to the PET event!

Cheers.

New to Ontario and looking for peaple to ride with.....I think I could definetly fit in with you guys...LOL.

Come on out Poorman it's going to be a blast, there's still a couple of cabins left at Summerlea, maybe there's a few more HCS riders in the wings lookng for someone to split up a cabin with ???

Finding out hopefully this week from my boss if I can get the week end off!

Spiderman....a few of us are trying to head there early Sat am from Dorset and Dwight area....we all have our sleds up there as well....you are welcome to try and hook up with us and trailer there and then back to our area....I doubt we will stay overnight Sat so the Pet Ride will be our HCS ride as well....then we will head back to Dorset.

We may have room in a trailer or we may need room in yours for someone

PM me and we can discuss....

Hey Slider, interesting suggestion, and one I appreciate, i'm definetly going to give this some thought.
Just so you know, for us it would be "on" our trailer, not "in", I've never invested in an enclosed as of yet because the one, maybe 2 times a year I use a trailer, if that, would be a waste of money for me.

I try to avoid trailering as much as possible.

It is "on" for me as well....when you own a cottage with decent riding close by...the budget is not there for travelling all over to ride...I have 2 place open as well...spends more time making dump runs in the summer that trailering sleds anywhere....it's been to Kirkland Lake and Tug Hill NY a couple of times tho...

Or, you could drive north the weekend before the event, load, come to my house (15 min from hwy 11) drop off sled - and trailer if you wish - in a very secure, well lit garage. Drive home, come to our place the next weekend, pick up your sled, ride, drop your sled back off at our place and the next weekend take both sled and trailer back to the cottage
For even more convenience, I'll meet you on hwy 11, hook your trailer to Bubba (our dually) and bring it home for you.
See, NO excuses LOL

That sounds like fun. We do a Bracebridge/ Huntsville ride and a Parry Sound ride every year too.

Now YOU my friend, have NO excuse!!
Hubby is there every night and will toss your sled on his 53' trailer (you ride shotgun in the KW).
Or, I'll drive up there with Bubba and the trailer and get you myself
I'll get to meet you and your lovely wife one of these days
Seriously friend, if you just need a ride, send me a PM okay.

And you guys wonder why I'm on here so much.
It's because

Welcome to the Ontario forum "poorman",

I see your from burlington what a great city eh? Come on out and ride with the cool crowd that way when the winters over you can be someone who didn't miss this awesome weekend.


Yukon

Be nice to ride my old sledding grounds again. I have a ride booked for return to Dundalk Feb 16th. If we return that day then I will head over to Coldwater on the 17th. Where would I park my truck (no-trailer)?

Thinksno

Well my request for time off was submitted today, hopefully all goes well. Shame, I'm an important person this year at Glen Eden so it will be very difficult to get time off. Looks like I'm riding near home this season.

OTI and Slider have solved most of my issues for me, with good solid suggestions, and offers, I have 2 more hurdles and then I'm good to go.

They are

1. we don't have our on call pager rotation for 2008 yet, so don't know
2. not sure if our trip is going to overlap yet

It'll be a game time decision for me, in all likelihood, made the week of.

I'm hoping to hit one of the 2 days if at all possible.

sign me up lol. ill be there. on the ride.

Hey Kev144..is that this place your talking about http://www.gleneden.on.ca/

If so sweet job!!

Thats the place Canadianfcat! I may be a lifer there!

I couldn't get that link to work, but this one seems to work fine www.glen eden your urban ski park.on.ca

Well unfortunatly for me, I will not be making this ride. With too much do acomplish this year I can only afford one week off for my cochrane trip this year. We are already 3 weeks behind at Glen Eden and have much work to do. Looks like my snowmobile season will only be one week long this winter

Well Kev

If you need Sled walker to take out your Polaris, I am quite qualified to handle those beasts, This is my second and have handled many in the past.

Just don't sleep all winter, there is lots of time in the summer to catch up, that's what I tell my wife when I come home at 1:00am from sledding and get up for work at 4:30am

Well Mazda, i only hope we get snow around home so I can do that. I may have to leave it unstuded this season since it's a fair bit of road running. I don't really sled at night though. It's usually come home from the bars at 3-4 and go to work at 5! Those are the nights I grab a cup of coffee and stay awake!

I'm in may have 2 others but me 4 sure

Awesome

Count me in and my Cousin as well. Possibly one other as well.

Awesome again

Cool! Things are finally coming together and I'm working on loops now.
A visit to the Pits for playing, a visit to Treasure Bay for puddle jumping.
And.....Maple Valley Club for GRINDAGE!!
The prices are decent and the food is good

The P.E.T ride, the HCS ride....makes for an AWESOME weekend!!

You're right, there is 'some' info in the P.E.T thread about our ride; but not everyone will relate one with the other.
Especially if they're just joining us again for the season.

Saved from page 3...

Things are looking good up here!!
Been snowing and blowing for almost three days now

Thought I'd bring her to the top. Whos joining us ? We've got the ball rolling and plans are being made for the Tour . Hope to see more interest folks? It's gonna be a great weekend!
