Hi Garry Cognaccruiser;
Yes that is also our intensions to do Gaspe plus some of the Maritimes. For that reason we are taking our camper and trailer and leaving it at a camp grounds and tour on the spyder down east. Which way are you traveling as we live just off the trans Canada hwy in eastern Sask.
My E-Mail is [email protected].

Hi Roger,

We are going on the Spyder and will be on the T-Can so guess we will be going right past your neck of the woods. We will stay on it through Thunder Bay, The Sault and Sudbury, North Bay, Ottawa and then go west and south of Montreal on 30 and then east on 20 and we are staying at the Best Western in Drummondville.
After, we will head up to 20/132 and follow the coast around to where Quebec and NB meet. I think from there we will stay 132 and back up to the coast just east of Rimouski and start heading back west. I think we will leave home on May 25th or 26th. Depends a little on the weather.

Hi Garry;
Its too bad as we are planing to leave about the same time and taking our time, otherwise you could have stayed with us here a day or two.We are booked into the Camping Plage Mckenzie camp grounds, 842,route 222 Racine QC. on may 31.After the ralleye we will then leave on hwys 20 & 132 and arranged to leave our equipment in Rimouski and then bike the same route as you. If interested we may be able to meet up and anyone else interested and travel together. We are traveling in a dodge truck and Bigfoot camper pulling a enclosed trailer with a HD sticker on the tailgate, flag us down. Our cell phone is 306-434-7587.

Thanks Roger.
I'll take note of the info you provided. If we decide to leave earlier I'll let you know. I think it would be great to meet up for the Gaspe ryde with you and anyone else interested.

Hi Roger

I don't know if you are interested or not but there is a group ride out to Valcourt being planned. I think it is starting in either Alberta or BC. We are meeting up with them at Powersports Regina on Saturday afternoon May 27. I have a tentative schedule if you are interested. There are at least 2 bikes from Saskatoon area meeting there.

Say Firecat were you still planning a trip around the Gaspe Peninsula after the homecoming, and was anybody interested.It would be a great ride.<br>Roger

No I have no one really interested to go if you care to join me that would be good I was also considering going to the Americaid at Lake George New York which is right after Valcourt weekend

Question on electricity

Any Canadian fellow riders or those who travel to Canada. For cell phone and Go Pro charging, are there special requirements or adapters needed at hotels. Bob I read my spyder Manuel but couldn't find the answer. Lol:roflblack:

 

[cognaccruiser]

If you are wondering if Canada has different shaped plugs/outlets from the U.S. requiring different adapters much like places like NZ and some European countries, the answer is we are the same as the U.S.

That would be OK with us. Roger (R Fun) sounds like he and his wife would be interested too.

Gary

:agree: The main differences you'll find is the accent, the money, liters instead of gallons, kilometers instead of miles . . . and no guns.
