CANADIAN VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE GROUP

Hi, all; 

Another good ride today with 7 bikes and 8 riders including our regular guest, Jack Cutler, and special guest from Great Pine Ridge, CVMG National Executive Director, Brock Hansler who was visiting Dan Klestorny.  From The Big Scoop with its Kawartha Lakes ice cream at Merrittville Speedway, Andy led a spirited run, actually more like a Hare and Hounds Run, along paved back roads to Tim's in Smithville where we were met by John Broadhead.  After a break there for coffee (the worst service I've ever had from a Tim's - 8 workers visible inside but no one taking orders until, after waiting 3 or 4 minutes, I removed my mask and asked in my "teacher in an unruly classroom voice", "Can I get a coffee?", we all made our separate ways home.  

With the province moving into Stage 1 Reopening tomorrow, there is a possibility of a section breakfast this Sunday for anyone who might be interested.  Our regular Sunday spot, the Welland Cafe doesn't have a patio so it's not available, however, Dominic's On 20 in Fonthill (north side of Hwy. 20/Reg. Rd. 20/ Canboro Rd. just across from Rice Rd.) does have a patio which will be open.  Several of us used to meet there for breakfast Thursday mornings before the shut down and were always pleased with the food and service.  They only have 7 tables seating 4 at each so I would suggest arriving fairly early, e.g. 8:00 to 8:30 a.m.  Their web site says they open at 7.  Unfortunately, the forecast is calling for rain showers Sunday and the patio is not covered, so check the weather Sunday morning before heading out if you are thinking of joining us.

regards,

Peter Salter
