Saturday July 9th Cruise to Niagara Falls
If anyone wants to join me, I'll be taking a drive to Niagara Falls on Sat July 9th.
Meet up the Tim Hortons at QEW/Winston Churchill 9-10am.
Meetup at the Shell on Fruitland for 11-11:30am.
Going back to Betty's Restaurant for 1pm lunch.
From there, we'll head to Fort Erie Niagara Parkway and on to the Falls, continue on down through the Parkway and 1 last stop before getting back on the QEW for home.

LOL Joe.
Mark Walker (CDN Wolf) on the forum was running this one when I joined up, so he introduced me to this cruise. Thanks Mark.
But because I'm not as busy a person as Mark and all the other cruise organizers, I was able to organize more cruises during the past 9 years and have been able to find some new roads, either by google maps, driving the roads myself or as suggestions from others on the various cruises and have incorporated them.
And the same goes for the Webers cruise, the Yonge St cruise, Gravenhurst, etc. I've just picked up when others weren't able to anymore. Just as I'm sure that the day will come when others will pick up when I'm not able to anymore.
This year I've been taking a bit of a break from organizing. I'm sure everyone has noticed I haven't posted a lot this year. Trying to give others a chance to organize their own cruises. The one advantage of organizing is I can pick a day that I'm free and everyone else has to adjust to my schedule if they can. Now that I'm on the other end, it's hard to adjust. Never realized just how busy my weekends are, until events collide with each other.
So really, kudos to everyone that has and will continue to find and make the time to come out for the cruises that are posted.

Stan You Might Consider Bayfield Instead
Every year Bayfield has a great Corvette show at the park. Around 300 cars. We drive up Friday night for the Corvette cruise and go to the show Saturday. There are many cross country routes you could take.
Finally, thanks Stan for the great cruises!

Is that the one off of Lake Huron? I did that show once a few years ago. It's a good show with parking in the park. Would be nicer if they could put the show on along the lake. But I get bored sitting in shows. I could organize a cruise there but I wouldn't stay for more than an hour or 2. Sauble Beach is only a 2 hour drive from there so maybe......

Hey Stan, barring any unforeseen issues (there maybe one) I plan on doing Niagara if you are still going to go.

Don't tell me I washed the car for nothing.
Bump to the top, looking forward to the run.

Looking forward to it too Murray. I had actually convinced my wife to come out on the Niagara tour, but she happens to be out of town at the in-laws... so Alex and I it is. Just checked the weather... need to cross our fingers for the afternoon. This said, when we got together with the folks from the Piedmont club last time we had a great time, even through the occasional shower.
