Hello Bob,

Welcome aboard if you want to make this ride with us. We will enter in Ontario by North-Lancaster and quickly reach the Hwy 2 for Prescott the first evening. The next day, we will take the road for Ottawa through Merrickville and we'll make a stop to visit The Swords And Ploughshares Museum.

I'm working on the revision of this ride with Eric Booth. When we'll be in the Ottawa area, I'm looking the opportunity to sleep the first night at the Connaught Rifle Range West of Ottawa. As the fact that you're not far East of Ottawa and you're on our way back, we could go to sleep the second night in Hammond Barn. However, our problem is that we'll not have camp beds with us. In addition, is there a B&B not too far Hammond because two of our group are unable to sleep in hard conditions. (arthritic pains and not old Boy-Scouts as the majority of us... )



We keep in touch.

Cheers

This just isn't right! With a name like the Blue Balls Express you should hold it when it's -40C.

Hello David,

Yes, -40C is hard on the "jewels". The term "Blue Balls" refers to the fact that the discomfort of the seats of our HMVs are hard for our family jewels

Cheers
