Both Groups have safely arrived in Hearst, Ontario. We rode 150 miles from Wawa to Hornepayne, Ontario yesterday and stayed at “Uncles” last night (no internet access, so no post yesterday). We had several Yamaha’s we could not get started this morning with temps at -20F. One ultimately rode in the trailer to Hearst. We are heading to Smooth Rock Falls in the Morning. Plan on posting video later this evening.

Chase Vehicle Report

Carl and Betty in effort to find the riders for lunch went into While River to try and locate a wi-fi service.They went into a Esso service station and the owner invited them to his desk and his computer to try to locate where the MichCanSka riders were. Wonderful Canadian corporation. As we proceeded to Dubreuville the old TomTom gave us wrong directions and we were on a road that was not wide enough to turn around. We went 7 miles out in the country and we got rescued by a local who turned us around and led us to where the group was gasing up.

Pictured is four of the seven Alpha Chics.
