Please take a moment to read through its entirety.Hey TM3, last year I went on a cruise hosted by 3GFX and it turned out pretty cool, fun roads to drive on that I didn't think we had in this area. I'd enjoy to do it again so putting it out there to do it again this year Oct 18/19th weekend. Anything much later I'm worried fall colours will be pretty much out and cars put into winter modes. Perhaps 25th/26th as rain dates. I'm quoting 3GFX below from last year as route and details pretty much the same. HOWEVER, I am proposing doing the route in reverse to be more favourable for those from the GTA. Would like to get more involved than the usual tri city guys (no offence intended lol).
So here are the details and official roll call since there appears to be more than enough interest!

Anyone welcome - You can invite well behaved friends with non-3's, as long as you let me know.
Meeting at Tim Hortons/Harveys on Market Dr. near Martin St. in Milton, ON
This needs to be a safe drive - NO BOOBISH BEHAVIOUR. These roads are fun so I get it if you want to take corners fast. No crazy stunt driving. Pass where legal only.
Note that I also will not be held liable for any damages or tickets. If there is a pot hole and you bend a rim, not my fault. If you understeer into a tree, definitely not my fault. If you get pulled over, not my fault.
Generally the community here is excellent and nothing happens. Just to be clear if something did.
Here is the modified route for what I propose:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?m...M.k3oQ6UZFV6pw
1) Departing from the Tim Hortons/Harveys around 2pm we'll head for the start of the route, if need be I'll pull over at the start to allow anyone to catch up if we get separated.
2) Continue down the route until midway. Give a chance to walk around a bit.
3) Finish off the route which is marked Endpoint, right at the outskirts of Cambridge. This is a good point to head back if you want/need to. 401 access back to Toronto is right there.
4) Anyone else interested in hanging out after, the trip continues into Kitchener to our 519 Meets location (the meet us Tri-City people have worked on). I anticipate arriving there 4:15/4:30.
5) If anyone wants to head out for food at any point, I marked out a spot on the map as well down the road that has many food outlets such as: ON THE LEFT: McDonalds, Subway, Pita Factory, LCBO for Switzah, Tim Hortons | ON THE RIGHT: Montanas, Zhers Grocery Store lol. If none of that interests you, you can punch Fairway Rd. into your GPS and there are more places along that street not too much further way.
6) How do you get home: Assuming you are leaving from 519 Meets, you can head back the way we came off the Conestoga Parkway, or turn right onto Ottawa St. to get on to the Conestoga Parkway, or the opposite direction down Ottawa St. to Homer Watson Blvd and take that down to the 401. Contrary to how it looks, you cannot get on the Parkway heading south on Ottawa, or turning right on to Homer-Watson, unless U-Turns are your thing. Its dumb, a lot of things in KW are dumb.
--Because of my role in 519 Meets, I shouldn't myself be gone too long so I myself will probably grab some food fast and head back.
I think I covered everything, I always forget something though.
