2018 Niagara Cruise - Sat May 12 (rain date Sun May 13 - Mother's Day)
Hey everyone, we'll be doing our annual Niagara Cruise a bit earlier this year due to a number of scheduling issues. For the past 2 years we've also held a second Niagara cruise in October, but the first cruise usually has be the best showing (20+ of us!). At some point usually in the Aug/Sep, we also do a Muskoka cruise, which allows for more spirited driving.
If this your first cruise, we'd like you to come out! It's a fun, social and relaxing cruise through the Niagara region that ends up being more of a S2000 parade (especially when we get 20 to 30 of us). If you feel the need to demonstrate your #trackskillz, this is not that type of cruise, bro.
There'll be 4-5 hours of driving, including pit stops for photos, snacks, and as usual, Thorold Tunnel. Pictures from last year's cruise can be found HERE. At the end of the cruise, we grab a bite and a drink somewhere. Post up if you can make it!
GTA PRE-MEET: Sherway Gardens at 0930, leave by 1000 (click for exact location)
MEET UP LOCATION: Casablanca rest stop (click for exact location)
MEET UP TIME: 11am (socialize, eat and gas)
DEPARTURE TIME: NOON SHARP
DINNER: TBD
CRUISE ROUTE: Click here!
GENERAL POINTERS:
1. Bring a radio if you have one (Channel 0)
-This is, quite possibly, the most important thing to bring. It'll prevent you from getting lost and it makes the ride more fun with the ongoing chatter.
2. Keep your headlights on
-It makes a big difference to be able to see the tail lights in front of you and the headlights in your mirrors.
3. 2-Car Rule
-Whenever you make a turn or are getting on/off the highway, make sure you can see 2 cars behind you before turning.
-if you really must turn because you're holding up traffic, then stop right after the turn so the car behind you can see you (there may have been a few cars between you guys).
4. Stay within the yellow and white lines
-Sorry if I'm being Captain Obvious here, but we cannot emphasize this enough - safety is paramount and we're on public roads. We've never been pulled over by the police and we'd like to keep it that way.

Yeah it sucks and we tried to work around it, but between Adrenalize's and my schedule, this was the best overall weekend...at least until late June or July, and we didn't want to push it back that far.
