Funny the first map address for Tim Hortons came up as Ottawa on my screen.... I'm honoured you guys are driving all the way here. I'll be sure to make it out to this one!

 

Ah, ok, never mind then.

 

Phil,thanks for organizing this.

 

All fixed now.

 

Thanks...Can't wait..

 

Nice to try a few places before we fix on one. I want to see how far and accessible each location is.

 

check out the Michael's at 170 North Queen. I know the owner of the property and can ensure no hassle.

 

Good to know! I was thinking that that side of the lot might be better and not as exposed.

 

I wonder who the last part is directed at....

May try and make it out for one but do you ever meet then drive? Or no good routes out that way (I am in the east end)?

 

Vern I come from Cambridge so if I can get there and Will can, then I think most people can
Phill all those locations sound feasible to me and hope to meet you guys there even if my car isn't on the road yet.

Great job !!

 

Don't waste your breath

 

Vern,

Yup, many drives have started out from the GTGs in the past. We've also used the old location as a meeting point when heading to the tracks (TMP and the now defunct Dunnville) for those who wanted to convoy down. If you want to organize one, by all means do so. There really isn't any formality with these meets as anyone whose ever attended can attest.

 

For some of us like myself & Clive, part of the drive is getting there.

 

Cool, the 403/Dundas location is close by for me.

FYI, a lot of bikers and JDM guys meet right there on the south side of dundas at the tim horton's. They don't usually get out that early, but the few times I've gone to grab a coffee, there's always a few who start driving like clowns. Lot's of cops up and down Dundas (especially west of the 403), so just be careful.
