. . .
Next big adventure? How about the Owner's Event in Valcourt in 2017. Are you in?

Ann,

Are you the group planner for this one!

Les

I could be. I'm planning on heading north from Las Vegas to Canada then east from there. Maybe even go all the way to Newfoundland, do they have any roads there? Scratch that, I mean New Brunswick and Nova Scotia then I'll hit Maine and New Hampshire and come back from there. We could go by Dave & Joni's in Buffalo then around the mitten of Michigan, maybe take the old ferry across Lake Michigan to Wisconsin. I want to go to Bemidji on the way home.

Are you in?

Sounds fun for 2017. Being we were just in the Atlantic Provinces last summer I know they have roads. . . .

+1 on the thanks to Karyl for heading up the North to Alaska expedition.

I'm in for Owners Event 2017 and Canadian Maritime Provinces!
Oh, yeah! hyea:
Sounds like a plan! Why not Newfoundland, too? :hun:

seriously I'm in :yes::yes::yes:

Ahhhhhhhh Bemidji. Don't miss the giant statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Say hello to Seth for me.

As the saying goes " like Flint":thumbup: Maybe I can talk Paula into going hyea: We could head north and meet up with you some ware in Canada.

Well Karyl, you know my door is always open and you can certainly bring friends :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:......I still have four spare bedrooms and I think my cooking has actually improved since your last visit........plus I have discovered some even " twistyer " (?) roads than you experienced previously.......keep me posted........Mike :thumbup:

You and Kathy are "on the line"..make it happen with Paula...that would be soooooooo awesome. :clap::bowdown: . . .

I've copied these quotes from the NtA blog thread. Let's post here about getting interest and planning for this ryde.

Newfoundland

As promised, here's my reminder about Newfoundland. Anyone who has the time should add Newfoundland to their itinerary. It is fantastic and well worth the extra time and effort to get there. Take a 5-hour ferry from the eastern end of Nova Scotia out of North Sydney to Port Aux Basques. Or take a 14-hour overnight ferry from North Sydney to Argentia on the eastern end of Newfoundland and then ride back across the island. We've done both and are ready to do it again.

Great idea PS.

A lot of good stuff to be found on the proposed trip. Been to some of the places and still have fond memories.


As Jackie Gleason used to say:

"And Awwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy we go! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

"And Awwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy we go! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

He also used to say "You're going to the moon, Alice". Could we get that on the agenda?

Helen and I are in for an east coast trip.

Been member of the site since March 2015 and have been riding as much as the weather cooperates. I'm interested in going to Valcourt 10th Aniversary.
Would it be rude to ask if you are doing as a group ride to consider a newbie to ride along?
I'm just outside of Toronto, Ontario.

I don't think there are any restrictions.

 

[Highwayman2013]

Sounds fun count us in.

 

[Trbayth]

I'd love to go. Of course, Valcourt is only a 6 hour straight shot up the NY Thruway for me.

You've got nearly 2 years to become an old hand at riding before the trip.

You could always ride the return trip with us or head out early and meet us out west.

I usually ride with no one and look forward to going with a great bunch like yourselves . Very few Spyder riders around here.

I've been looking at the maps. The Canadian Maritimes are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. But Newfoundland Island can be reached by ferry. And Labrador can be reached by ferry from there. And vice-a-versa.

There's a highway crossing central labrador. Here's a web-site about it and generally about travel in Labrador and Newfoundland. There's maps and lots of travel pictures. His sounds like fun:

" . . you can now do a circle tour from Baie Comeau (Quebec), north to Labrador City, east across to Goose Bay, down to Blanc Sablon via Cartwright, take the ferry across the Strait of Belle Isle to Newfoundland, drive south down the west coast of Newfoundland to Port aux Basques, from where you can take the ferry across to Nova Scotia."​

Looking forward to meeting you as we lived in Oakville before moving to SoCal. In fact, our daughters were both born at Oakville General.

You won't be a newbie by 2017.

 

[HVACR Guy]

What a coincidence. We were living in Brampton just before moving to Oakville but made the drive to Oakville just to have both children delivered there. They have almost completed the new $1 billion hospital 3rd line and Dundas.
