Is there a consensus as to where to stay for those who aren't camping?

There are cabins at the KOA Campground. Lots of other accoms in the area.
PM Mark King for specifics, so far most are staying at the KOA, he's offering a 15% discount.
We stayed there for the scouting trip this week and it was very good.
Well .... the wifi was a biit spotty ....
Just rode home .... 6 hours in the pouring rain ....

2017 NGW Canadian Ride Shaping Up .... 1000 Islands in September (12,13,14)

#190

Post by Rat »

OK .... Mark King and Ascot and Alarmdoc and I have done a run through of the Ride .... Thanks to Mark for planning the route. There will be two routes to choose from and many other activities in the area.

The 'Ticket to Ride' will be $25 Canadian ($20 US) and can be paid at the NGW Store as soon as Doctor treasurer sets it up.

There will be a second thread posted shortly for the T Shirts.

Please pay the registration fairly soon so we can pin down the numbers.

I'm still hoping to make it Gord, but so far I have lost 6 weeks work out of this year with illness, so finding the funds is going to be a struggle.

OK registration should be set up. Unfortunately I can only do the store in $US (if there's a way to do $CAN, I don't know it.)
