Southern Ontario Driving Tour
Hi all,
I got to thinking after the conversation about a meet when a couple of us suggested a drive through Forks of the Credit and have come up with this idea... 1. Group of interested parties meet for breakfast (9am) some Saturday at Angel's Diner in Orangeville 2. Drive up the Hockley Valley Rd, stop at Hockley General Store (awesome bakery, crafts, beautiful location) for 15 mins or so 3. Finish Hockley drive then head north to Creemore for a tour of Creemore Springs Brewery an have lunch. Beautiful town, interesting sights like North America's smallest jail built in 1892, great small brewery and neat shops. 4. Head west for another small twisty road then south through Shelburne, past the west side of Orangeville again, then down for the Forks of the Credit drive. 5. End up in Caledon Village (old Eddie Shack Donuts) Total drive is about 150km, with pit stops, lunch, etc should be done by around 2pm. I was looking at extending the drive further north from Creemore and winding up past Devil's Glen then through Blue Mountains (could even have lunch in the village up there instead) but that would add another 1.5-2 hours I would think. Dates that would work... June 16th (maybe too soon for me but I could make it work) July 28th (probably my favourite) August 11th August 18th August 25th Let me know who's in and what dates might work and we'll go with the majority. If any of the fellow K/W drivers are in, we could tour our way up to Orangeville past Belwood if desired. |

Hi,
First post! Very interested in this. July 28th works for me as well. Could probably do other dates as well. New to the forum and new to BMW. Purchased a space gray 2006 Z4MC in March. Still learning the car but loving it. I live in Belfountain (small village in the Forks of the Credit). Haven't driven all parts but the suggested route is great. Can't wait!

Alright, lets set July 28th in our calendars and chat it up closer to the date. I'm back from Africa July 18th so will likely be incommunicado from Jun 29-Jul 18th.
For now, and others joining this thread going forward, please post the number that will be joining you so I can reserve table space at Angel's and a number for the brewery tour (still trying to arrange). |
