Saturday August 16th, in the afternoon.... (note the next Sunday cruise will be on Aug. 24th...)
This one will be a little different:
it'll be an urban run of the west GTA from Mississauga, along the Lakeshore drive, & ending up in Burlington.
We get to show off our cars to the public alittle & enjoy a scenic road through some nice neighbourhoods and along the waterfront.
It'll also include an ice cream stop, so bring your dessert apppetite.
It will start from the Walmart parking lot at Winston Churchill Blvd & 401 in Mississauga.
Meet up time still to be confirmed & announced... Be food & gas filled so we can leave promptly at the designated time.
We've never run this as a group before, it's a new one but i've run it at least a few times, it's a great fun drive & also recommended for fall drives too.
Cruise is approx 1.5-2 hrs one way, then we can either head back & have a dinner at a really nice scenic marina i know of, or we can decide to have dinner & a beer near our end point, howzatsound?
bump for this week & due to inquiries from the recent S.O.F.A. Annual Show...
the cruise is coming up this Saturday afternoon! Bring out your better halves for an ice cream & a nice ride. Wx so far looks good. My car's all shined up. Route is in place. Good 2 go!
Also, there will be a re-attemp of the rain-cancelled July Cruise. It is upcoming on Sunday Aug 24th, so please mark your calendars. It will be the Milton Flamboro Route, which will include the Niagara Escarpment, Mt Nemo area etc etc. I will start a separate post for this Cruise on the 24th soon...
