Fall Scenic Adventure/Charity Ride Oct. 10 Reminder

[Heather]

Good day everyone,

Just a reminder that on Saturday, October 10 a "Fall Colours Scenic Adventure/ Charity Ride, is being offered to BMA members and non members. This non-aggressive route of approximately 160 km consists of paved, gravel and dirt roads featuring portions of the Calagogie Boogie Dual Sport Ride. This tour will begin and end at Lavant Community Centre by the beach. (There is plenty of parking there if you trailer in.)

About half way through the ride, there will be a beautiful spot at which to stop, have your own picnic lunch and take pictures of the picturesque rapids. There will be other points of interest along the way.

Please arrive around 10:30 a.m. The ride will begin at 11:00. GPS routes will be emailed to anyone wishing them.

I am asking for donations of $20 or more per person to be given to the Arnprior and District Humane Society. (I am on the Board of Directors.) If anyone would like a tax receipt, I can have that arranged.

Please email me as soon as possible to let me know if you are interested in participating. Please let Terry know if you would like the GPS route emailed to you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at tiff1_10@hotmail.com.

Hope to see you there,
Heather

Heather,

Thank you for putting on a great fall ride.

I had to bail at Tatlock due to having to get back home by 5:30pm. It was a pleasure to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones too.

I've attached a few photos.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Scott.

Thanks so much for putting this ride on, Heather, I really enjoyed it. Mike will post some photos as soon as he gets them uploaded.

It was a beautiful day, we couldn't have asked for better weather and the colours were fabulous!

Thanks again!

Stephanie

Photo of my dogs: the little tan/white one at the front is Opeongo Jack, the dog we found on a ride two years ago that I was telling you about, and the big goofy one at the back is Avro (the Arrow), so named because he can climb furniture higher and faster than any other dog. He came from the Ottawa Humane Society. Ziggy, the one in the middle of the photo, came from a breeder.

There are pics, with geotags, on my Picasa site: http://picasaweb.google.ca/emmbeedee/2009_10_10#

Look at the map on the right to see where the pictures were taken.

The album map is also interesting: http://picasaweb.google.ca/lh/albumMap?uname=emmbeedee&aid=5391133544862633281#map

Here are a few smaller versions of the images.

We really enjoyed ourselves, but it sure is tiring, especially New road, on the big Beemer.

Here are a couple of short videos I took while we were out yesterday:

In this one Heather leads on a gravel road section:

Hi, what type of video device was used for the Utube footage?

Thanks

I use a Sanyo CA9, a waterproof digital photo and videocamera.

Looking at this photo, you'd almost think it was winter :shock:

Here's a picture I took from my Sanyo Xacti on the F800GS. The camera's behind a windshield so there are reflections, but I like this picture anyway. Taken on highway 511, following Heather and Terry.

And here's 1 minute from the California road...
