Here's the launch and trip down plan for Thursday morning:
- East-End gang meets at the Petro-Canada at Salem/Kingston Rd. at 5:45 AM.
- Roll through pick-up for Ray at Liverpool Rd ramp on the 401
- Meet everyone else at Mark's Timmie's store in Mississauga (Mavis & Central Parkway) at 7 AM.
- Grab some breakfast and hit the road at 7:30.
- Stop at duty-free in Fort Erie and pick up supplies (should be around 8:45).
- Hit the border around 9 AM. Remember when you cross the border to stay to the right and pick up the 190 South.
- ** Do not wait for everyone else after you cross, it just causes problems**
- Take the 190 to I90 West and we will re-group at the Angola service centre. It's the one with the McDonalds in the middle that you use the bridge to walk to and is about 17 miles from where we get on I90. We can fill up the tanks there and dispatch the morning coffees.
- We'll stop for lunch and fill up along the way and hit Granville between 4 and 5.
- Remember guys, we are at the Buxton Inn this year not the Granville Inn. It is right across the street from the Granville Inn so after we make that final turn onto East Broadway you will turn right into the parking lot not left.

Sounds ok with me. I believe that puts an EEP meet time at the Petro Can @ Salem/Kingston Rd for 5:45 am? Pretty sure that's what it was last year...

Is it best to take the 403 and then south on Mavis, or QEW and then north?
