ODSC Orangeville RANT, April 20, 2002
My Orangeville "Roads And No Trails" ride last week generated a lot of interest from guys who wanted to do this sort of ride, and this week the attendence quadrupled - perhaps there'll be 16 there next week!  Long time ODSC'r Rich (XR650L) was joined by two 'newbies" who saw this ride posted on the ODSC Forum and decided to give it a try - Jeff and Anthony, both on KLR650s. We rode lots of gravel roads with lots of twists and turns and elevation changes, although the pictures seem to suggest there's only straight roads there - not so, it's a great area for dual sport riding.

We took lots of breaks and rode an easy pace, and even took time out for Rich to ride the huge sandhill (the picture doesn't do justice to the steepness) on 3rd Line near Terra Nova.  The stream near the sandhill (below left) had several large brightly coloured fish (rainbow trout?) which would have made a change to the ritual pizza a short while later at Creemore. Perhaps we should apply for a Corporate Rate and hold the next AGM here?
