2017 GTA Spring cruise

Cyclops · 02-21-2017, 06:51 PM

Time to start thinking about a spring cruise. Anyone have ideas? I was thinking maybe a cruise to Niagara Falls with some stops in between? Make some noise in the Welland tunnel?

GPower · 02-22-2017, 06:00 PM

Wow. We already planning, eh. I am in for sure.

Mirko · 02-22-2017, 07:28 PM

Creemore is nice but we did 2016 spring and fall there. A different location might bring different members out.

A visit to a winery or two would be fun. I could talk my wife into going if we did that. lol

accent · 02-24-2017, 06:21 PM

Sounds great, maybe I will be able to make it for the first time, as long as you can take an old guy with an old roadster. If i had a map, i probably could catch up to the coupes at some point

If the date works, I'm in.

I live in Niagara on the Lake, this could work for me.....

Sounds good. I can probably talk my wife into it but it will come at a price of no spirited driving.

There is no roadster discrimination.

It would be nice to put more faces to screen names.

So anyone input on a route? Maybe start in Hamilton on top of the mountain, drive along the ridge, hop on the QEW at some point to St. Catharines, 406 through the tunnel and onto Niagara Falls, drive Niagara Parkway to Niagara on the Lake, take lakeshore back towards TO. Stop for lunch somewhere or winery along the way?

Subbing for info and almost for certain attendance.

Route Suggestion: Milton / Kelso / Rattlesnake / Lowville

When I was more VDub oriented I ran a cruise with this particular route. No complaints from people.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer...C0.790329&z=11

We could reverse the route if needed or bla bla bla.

...also might have my dad tag along in his SLK AMG, he's never been on a group cruise and doesn't know what the internet is.

Mirko · 03-03-2017, 05:37 PM

I like your route 3GFX .. easy start for me coming from Waterloo

Hopefully by that time I'll be coming from KTown.

The spot in Cambridge on the route is a large parking lot right next to a Tims. Good place to start

inTgr8r · 03-04-2017, 09:25 AM

JMO, but I would prefer the original Niagara run idea.

SwissArmy · 03-04-2017, 07:35 PM

If the date works, I want in too!

Just have some projects on the Zed this year that may tie the first few weeks of spring for me. (paint job, coilovers, tires, brakes, and some basic post-winter maintenance)

Not opposed to the Milton/Cambridge route as it's in my neck of the woods and there are some great roads here but, I was hopping that with the Niagara route we might draw some new faces, maybe even some guys from the USA.
