Weather looks bad for Sunday, the cruise is now on Saturday (tomorrow)

With the weather looking a little cool and other concerns I have moved the Spring cruise to Saturday, May 23rd. Lord knows we all could likely use a little therapy cruise at this point and some interaction even if it's from a distance in our cars. There is lots of construction down in Nagara including the tunnel, so this cruise has been moved to north/west GTA.

The cruise will not have any stops, at this point, there are no open public restrooms. Near the end of the cruise, there is a truck inspection station with a Porta Potty for the brave or desperate. I was out yesterday for 4 hours with my two kids and we survived without any washroom breaks. The cruise will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes, beginning near the 401 in Milton and terminating near HWY 10 in Caledon. If you have an FRS radio bring it, I will call out directions and any hazards during the cruise. There will be a zoom call at the staging area, this will enable some chit chat and briefing for the cruise while keeping up with the social distancing.

The cruise departs at 9:30 AM, the address will be sent out by PM on Friday. When you receive this PM please respond with a text message to confirm attendance. Google maps link, zoom link and FRS channel will be sent to all confirmed attendees.

The 5 commandments (assuming the social distancing rules as of today will be unchanged on the 23rd)
1: Bring water, food, face mask, etc, with you in your car to limit stopping anywhere
2: Have a full tank of gas
3: Pull into the staging area and park with one full space between each car
4: If you need to get out and stretch your legs consider the area around your car as your bubble and try to stay within it, or keep at least 2m away from any person not riding with you
5: Don't be that guy, all eyes will be on us

I'm without a P-car at the moment (had recently traded in my 987) though still fond of them. Would a non-Porsche still manufactured in Stuttgart be welcome?

I was on the road yesterday and there were cop cars everywhere. Don't say I didn't warn you guys ....

You're right cause that sounds so much like us. 150-200 of us will get together at 11pm and then race on the street, likely exceeding 308 kph if we can

I think we can make an exception for a fellow German.

In the ten years that I have been organizing and attending cruises in Ontario, we have never had 1 problem with the police. This cruise will be conducted in a safe manner, according to all social distancing guidelines, rules of the road, etc. by a group of responsible adults. Thank you for your concern.

I will be attending

I might be in. Maybe we'll even have actual May weather by then.

i agree with this ..

I have been giving " the speech" for a lot of those cruises for years before we start as a reminder . We have had the odd exception tool who will remain nameless , but for the most part people our cruises have been very well behaved and our contributions to the local food bank have been very well recognized in local papers.

Possibly in, but only for the initial 9am Milton meet up. I won't be able to go on the cruise with you folks.
