Nice ride today. Once we got out of Metro it turned warm. I was able to ride with just a T-Shirt under my jacket.
Five bikes and six riders. We rode Route 2 up to Truro for our first stop at Tims for a coffee. Then it was on to Five Islands Provincial Park to enjoy the scenery. We had lunch at the Goosecap Restaurant in Parrsboro. Got home about 5:30pm

DownEast Rally. May 20 -22, 2011
Comment from Turfman:
Thanks everyone for a great Down East 2011. Mdee we missed you. Cold ride home but no rain, all is good. Is New Brunswick full of pot holes or what? Cold Saturday night on the platform, needed rocks to hold the tents down. Peter I hope your ride home went well. The Hotelers likely had a great ride home after to toasty night sleep.GMac

BMWMOA International Rally
International Rally Bloomsburg,
Pennsylvania July 21 – 24, 2011 Heading into historic Bloomsburg,
you'll find some of the most sublime landscapes Pennsylvania has to
offer - rolling hills of farmland, quaint villages, dense forests that
provide a cool canopy on a hot summer day, hollows choked with laurel,
and mountain twisty roads that lead to high ridges offering views of 30
or more miles. Throw in an old dirt race track on the fairgrounds and
this is going to be an excellent rally!

Pineo BBQ, August 21 2011
This was a combined AVR, BMWONS club event hosted by Beth and John Pineo.
It was set under sunny with occasional clouds. Some attending enjoyed the newly refurbished pool while others just enjoyed catching up with old friends while partaking of the odd drink and morsel of food. The highlight was indeed the pig roast spread catered by Meadowbrook Meat Market. Many thanks from all who attended to Beth and John for putting this on again.

Fall Colours run Sep 30- Oct 2 2011
This
the BMWONS signature Fall run. 11 members on 10 motorcycles made it to this event. Some arrived on thursday while the majority arrived on the friday. Some elected to do an abbreviated trail run while others made the yearly jaunt 'round the trail. Admidst threatening skies brought on by hurricane Ophelia seven motorcyclists ventured out and salvaged a days riding despite the weather. Light rain was the most they had to contend with. A nor'easter a few days later would have proven more problematic.
