I need an oil change real bad. I can't believe the riding I'm getting in. Sat we did almost 400 kms then yesterday up to orillia not even sure how many we did I'm guessing between 250-300 I imagine. All in all a great weekend What time u guys leaving on Sun

Sounds like a great route Chris. Are you going to print out maps for this or just use the directions? Will it be an escorted ride or just casual in groups?
