Guys Parking is going to be a Huge Issue on Brant Street. There is a Scotia Bank/No Frills up the Street @ Brant and Caroline, we should all park there.

Besides this is GreatWhietNorth's hood, he should be able to secure us some VIP Parking... He runs that hood from what i seen when i down for RibFest

So wait, I don't get it... We are all meeting in Niagara Falls, and then cruising back to
Brant/Caroline in Burlington? OR the other way around?

Agreed that the parking structure behind the ESSO has a cool rooftop space for pics!

Please re-read my post from the other day (copied below). I've had a few pms and there have been questions here in the thread, all of which were answered in that post. There's some important stuff in there!

Please note that I haven't included any rallying points. I'm hoping we won't need one, as it's a fairly long drive, and a stop is always at least half an hour. Also note that I will not be able to pre-drive this, so if anyone knows if any of the roads on this route are under construction, please say so, so the route can be altered accordingly!

Google maps says 2 hours and 40 minutes. I think we need to aim for a 10am departure so we can arrive at the restaurant in Burlington before 1. I'll make a reservation at the restaurant for 1pm once numbers are final. If you received a pm with the map route and are NOT coming, please pm me back saying so. Otherwise, I'll assume you're coming and count you in as part of the reservation for the restaurant. Come to think of it, if you're more than 1 person, better let me know that, too!

So, Brock's monument at 10am on Oct. 21, assuming weather is good.

I'll compile a list probably this weekend. I'm still getting pm's confirming attendance, so I think folks are still checking schedules.

Sponsor? Wouldn't it be better to keep this on the down low?

lololol nothing major. I know some of the local business owners downtown plus the Burlington BIA is a huge supporter of stuff like this. Will keep you guys posted.
