What time do you think you'll be in Bracebridge?
Or are you thinking of coming this far?

Looking at 10:30 ETA in Bracebridge, according to Mapquest.
Are you good to run with us, Bart? Looking forward to getting out.

Cheers

If you can't make it, we'll most likely still do the run you posted. The loops itself looks to be around a 2 hour drive? If so, that would put us back in Bracebridge around lunch time. Any suggestions as to good places to eat?

I'm going to try and meet you guys on Sunday.
Did you say that you would be 10:30 at Tim Horton's?
You have a few option's for lunch....
You could stop in Windermere which would be around noon.
In Bracebridge you have Boston Pizza, Nick's, The Old Station.
If you like Boston Pizza I would head to Gravenhurst and take Muskoka Beach Rd down. This is a nice Rd to drive also, and its in the right direction.
Here is a good run that will take us from Home Depot/Tim Hortons in Bracebridge to Boston Pizza in Gravenhurst.
Can someone give me a call to confirm the meet time?
Cheers!

Hey Robbie. Plan right now is BoxsterSteve and I are meeting up in Orangeville around 8am and then heading up to Bracebridge, hopefully to connect with Muskoka.
Not sure where you are and where a good spot would be. Steve - are we taking the back roads or heading right over to the 400 to go North?
I'm sure we can find a spot on the 400 somewhere where we could meet up?

Thanks I'm not sure about the timing. I'll talk to the family tonight to see if I can swing this. I'm in Markham so could either go west to meet or meet up there. Do you plan on taking interesting roads on the way North or just the 400?

Via Hwy 9 & 11 is 2 hours from Orangeville to Bracebridge.
Via Hwy 400 & 118 is over 2 1/2 hours and and extra 50-60 km.
I'm good with either, but it will obviously affect Bracebridge ETA if we go the scenic route.
To avoid highways altogether takes you via Minden and Carnarvon, a bit too far out of the way, methinks.

Most of the interesting roads will be in the Muskoka's. Normally getting there is half the fun, but in this case, the plan is to get there as quick as possible and THEN let the fun begin!

Cojo
Please join us if you can.
Meet at 10:30 at the Horton's in Bracebridge near the Home Depot just off Hwy. 11.
Giller and I are coming from a pretty good distance, so if we're not exactly dead on 10:30, just sit tight. PM me and I'll send my phone number.

Good day today guys! Especially nice to meet some really great, fellow PCar owners.
Thanks Bart for leading the group through those fantastic Muskoka twisties. I've never been through twisties like that at that speed before - was very exhilarating! Loved it!
Rob, hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble and are allowed out to play again.
And Cory - what happened man? Did you take off and join all those Exotic cars for the cruise home? I wouldn't blame you one bit if you did.

Gents,
Thanks for the experience, and Bart especially for his amazing choice of twisty Muskoka roads to enjoy.
Cheers all.
Got to do this again!

Count us in.
Let us know where and when.
As long as we don't have to drive through snow to get there. Lol
Cheers Bart
