OFFICIAL 2012 Summer cruise
#57
On Saturday morning, check this page at 0900. If the weather is looking extremely bad, I will force postpone the cruise. We will still if it is just misting or drizzling, that's how we did it last time. The reason is... because we're going so far, what the weather is like here is not indicative of what the weather is up there!!!

Here's my update: there is currently a bridge out on Rama rd. (No other construction to be found in the Rama area as of last weekend though!) There is an easy detour, Switch rd over to hwy 169; unfortunately it does introduce one extra left turn, but it's right at the end of the drive anyway, so I think it's worth it.

What's with all the weddings in the summer? This isn't wedding weather, this is DRIVING weather! Mike, you better not be chickening out because of ONE RAILWAY ... ;D (Seriously though, sorry you can't make it, you'd have loved it the most.)
There is a bona fida Sunoco in Gravenhurst downtown (not far from where we finish, but unfortunately there is nothing out on 169 / Bay rd.) Might be worthwhile to work out a pitstop on the way out of town / back onto the highway, but we can figure that out at the time it happens.
Reminder: bring your walkie-talkies!

It's a go! Go! Go! Go!
Weather is holding up.. partly cloudy. Dry in Richmond Hill.
Looking at weathernetwork's radar maps, appears to be clearing as the day rolls by. It all good folks, this maybe a repeat of the same weather 2 years ago for this cruise. Potentially cloudy with small spots of light rain...
See y'all at the Tim's.
I left the walkie-talkier at Margaret's place and it's too far to get it now, was wondering if anyone had an extra set they could bring for me. Thanks.

Was a pretty bad thunderstorm downtown an hour ago but it's drying up now. Hopefully up north is better =)
edit: checked the animated maps, looks like the rain should be clearing out as the day goes on. I'll be there around 11:30!
