Riding with an old friend

Sunday, August 30 2015

Well Sunday's ride turned out great with a surprise guest, Timid (Rob) who came up to visit Friday and decided to join us on the ride for part of the way as he headed back home. Timid was a founding member of CMCSSM032 before moving to south eastern Ontario. We escorted him out to Bruce Mines then said our goodbyes before continuing on the rest of our ride.  It's always nice to see out - of - town members of the CMC family and reconnect with old friends.

We rode through the back country behind Bruce Mines.  It was a beautiful day with the leaves starting to turn different colours, the smell of freshly cut hay in the air, cows grazing and mini horses running in the fields.  Part way along, we stopped for 20 minutes at a local park for a rest stop to stretch and have a washroom break.

We continued on for the rest of our ride ending back at Hwy 17 west. From there, we proceeded over to Bucci's Restaurant in Echo Bay were everyone was treated to some complimentary appetizers from the owner, Marco. After most of the group enjoyed lunch from the $8.95 all - you - can - eat buffet, we headed back to the Sault and Brewster and Kido headed to Goulais River.

Wow! What a great day for a ride .

On today's ride were: Brewster, Kido, Kranky, Professore, Hooleo, FBI, MrsEchoBay, EchoBay and guests BP and Timid.

Before leaving the Sault, Spike came out to meet us at the Husky and say hi.  Spike was working so he wasn't able to join us on our ride.  Also stopping by was our newest member, KarenM who rides a 650 Yamaha VStar.  She was unable to join us for the Bruce Mines ride but was excited to be a member of CMC, meet some of the local CMC members and is looking forward to joining the group another day.  Welcome to the CMC family KarenM.

So it was another great day spent with our CMC chapter members. For those of you that couldn't make it, maybe next time.

Just a reminder!! We only have 8 scheduled chapter rides left this year.  If you haven't been able to make it out so far this year, you might want to soon, before we're done for the season.
