The weather forecast was all over the place on Wednesday July 9 for the scheduled ICR to Almonte. That resulted in several last-minute cancellations and additions, until we settled at 14 cars and 2 groups, reorganizing under the protection of umbrellas. The trip to Almonte was mostly roof up, but pleasant with a few stalwarts […]
Seven cars left at 8:40 on the Brockville Reverse route. The weather was excellent for top-down driving.

Nine cars departed from the convention centre at 10am under sunny skies and a reasonable low 20s temperature.

We regrouped once on the Quebec side and […]
Seven cars left from the C2M2 Home Base (we would pick up an 8 th on the Quebec-side) to test LSD 1 and 3 routes for C2M2. The first task would be to test the “zipper maneuver”—patent pending. Briefly the tour opened up like a zipper into two lanes, went through two sets of lights, […]

The weather Gods were with us. It was a beautiful hot and warm evening with a bit of clouds at the end of the night. Despite the long drive, (the near solstice scheduling of the tour helped) the nine cars still had a chance to see the sun setting and some nice views of the […]
Nine cars practiced this rain-or-shine event. In downpouring rain and thunder the group met at the C2M2 Home Base. Due to Mother Nature, we delayed the starting time. There were some CB communication challenges along the way but nothing the expert drivers could not solve. With only 9 cars we stayed as one group. It […]
