The South Eastern Ontario Camp & Ride '16

[paulfj03]

The FJ Camp & Ride is on again this year and is scheduled for sept 9, 10 and 11th. That is the weekend after the Labourday Weekend.

‎Home base will be Loughborough Lake Holiday Park again, off of Sydenham Rd, just North of Kingston.

To any FJowners members  looking forward to meeting and getting to know some of the FJ owners in Ontario, doing some awesome camping, and riding some of the most popular roads in Ontario
... you should 'pipe up' and join us. The price is right,... the time spent could be just a weekend , or even a days ride. There is usually alot of 'all-things-FJ', and campfire BS & Banter.    
‎
Last year's event had excellent riding through the ‎Highlands roads. Good times!!

Danno is presently staying at the lake and doesnt have his computer out there. ... who can blame him?
Here is his description from last year:
This park is very laid back and east going, washrooms, showers, beach.
There are group sites available for rental for us where renters can be louder into the wee hours,  if they want.  There are cabins for rental  based on availability.  Tent sites are there too if thats your preference. Also on site is a chip truck that makes breakfast and dinner on weekends.
If the weather turns to rain there is a large shelter for us to hang out in to stay dry ... as long as it is not rented for the weekend.

The Park is 10-15 mins from Desert Lake Road, then Westport Rd, and then from Westport the riding goes up through the highlands. Very cool!!!

Danno is opening up his doors again and is saving up the best possible riding and campfire weather for us to enjoy.

See you there!

I look to be in the clear for that weekend. Figure out the details later but I'm sure I'll want a roof over my head at night, but I can sleep on just about anything, anywhere.

Hold the phone!  

Due to recent developments the date has been moved to the 24th of September (23rd, 24th, 25th)
Alot is happening this fall, so picking a date has been fun..... but we are solid now. Good to hear that this new date works just as well for you charlie. (phew. ).

The fall colours should be at their brightest up there at that time, and  it probably wont be too hot for the day tours.   Awesome.  

I am looking into cabin availability too.

[PaulG]

Well......  ok.  I'll book the time off this week.  Come Sept I'll get the usual "Whaddya mean you booked it off? When?!"  That's when I point at the piece of paper on the wall above the desk and say "4 months ago", and watch them squirm to find coverage.   

[Sabre093]

Works for me too...I'm coming off nights Friday Morning and start Monday Afternoon ....

[paulfj03]

Excellent! Looks like we have 6 riders already.

According to Del, the fella in charge of rentals and prices says, for now, there are two cabins open for the weekend then.  The cost is $395 for the weekend which is check in Friday and check out Monday morning . They could sleep up to 4. The cabin we stayed in last year was quite nice. The tent sites are $25 and serviced trailer sites are $45. If we get 6 or more riders interested in tenting we could rent the group site which would be $12 ea. Per night.  

I'm partial to sleeping under a roof too. Please holler if your ready to go in on a cabin. I'll book one if need be...     

[PaulG]

I'd be willing to go in on a cabin.  I'm also easy about tenting it too.  Could do with practicing my survival craft:

Step 1) Pitch tent - Step 2) Open beer - Step 3) repeat Schtepp Tooh hash neschesherry          

Since I'm taking time off for it I will also be off the Monday, so I don't really have to leave until then.
