Hi, Ken. I think early July is probably the best time for the James Bay ride.
Here are my plans.
1. Jumping the gun on summer, I plan to ride to Barrie for the annual V-Strom Spring Ride, if it happens May 4. Earlier than that, I will not come. If it seems unlikely to happen, I may be able to persuade V-Tom to lead it. He knows every road and almost every bear in Ontario, so he won't need a lot of preparation. If I do that ride, I will fly home.
2. Mid-July until the end of September, I plan to rent the same apartment I rented last year, on Davisville Avenue a bit east of Mt. Pleasant Road, so my wife will be near her daughter and grandchildren. This is always a great source of joy for all involved.
I hope you will stay a day or two or three with us when you visit Florida in May next year. Next year I do not need to be in Canada for September, so I hope to spend all July in and near Ontario. I am sure we will be able to find some mischief in each country.
Best wishes,
Keith
