    Default Canyon run in the GTA...

    During my recent visit to Toronto I was told of a 'mountain' road with aggressive switch-backs, tight turns, and was freshly paved in the past few years! I have had plenty of chances to drive my car in a straight line to take advantage of performance mods but not so many opportunities to put the suspension to the test.

    Right now my plan is to drive this road as early in the afternoon as possible on Wednesday, April 25th, 2012. I'm not sure when my course lets out but I'll have the car ready and can grab food on the road if necessary. I am in town again from the 23rd to the 27th so can't do a weekend ride (which doesn't bother me as apparently there is a heavy OPP presence on the weekends). I will be attending a car meet on the 26th so that night is out for me as well.

    It would be great to be able to drive with a couple of G8's and have dinner in Belfountain at the top. The drive down is supposed to be even better than coming up or there are longer cruises past the badlands (as listed in the link) if anyone is interested.

    I have no plans to go drifting around corners or doing 160 in a 60 zone...just want to feel the car on a mountain road, or as close as we can find in Ontario.



    It would be great to get as many G8's together as we can!

    Still no takers? Looks like the weather will be holding up fairly well so far...

    Well, I made it up and took a ton of pictures! Awesome weather and the roads were very nice to drive. I wish it would have been a longer road but beggars can't be choosers!
