Alright, let's book it then. If I'm not mistaken, we've already got several of the people who couldn't make last year's run.

Not really. We usually meet at 10, drive until lunch, then split up and head home. It's certainly not a marathon drive. Coming from Cambridge, expect to be gone from 8:30/9 until 2ish.

There was some confusion last year as to departure point, and I think I actually got it wrong. If someone knows the proper departure point, please post it.

Get off the QEW at Fifty Rd and swing back along the service road. Just around the curve.

Any chance we can meet at the Tim horton's stop on Ontario street exit? The 50 truck stop parking lot is muddy and an ugly/uninspired backdrop for pics.. Juss sayin'

1 exit past 50 (towards Niagara) is Casablanca exit and an info center at 424 South Service road. There is plenty of paved parking, a Timmies, a gas station, clean washrooms, and a better backdrop (escarpment) for photos.
Let's also make sure there is a further additional washroom break somewhere along the route for both men and women, otherwise I recommend the "Depends" under clothing option. A winery is not a bad idea for this sort of dual purpose stop over (I think a few years ago we also did an ice cream stop)

I think that a stop at a winery is a very good idea. This should be arranged with the owner/management. Would make for a great photo shot.
