Here is the official Ottawa-Gatineau Hills Annual Cruise Photo and Video shoot of 2012.

WHEN

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 16th @ 10am - 2pm or 3 pm.

WHERE

Starting from the City Center (industrial/commercial business park). It's a perfect venue for those who feel the sudden urge to fill their wheel wells with the lovely smell of burning rubber. And it's a safe, excluded environment that is our START point. Photo and Video shoot commences.

We will then make our journey into the Gatineau Hills to the Champlain Look Out Point for the actual Photo and Video shoots.

Then back track through the Hills to Highway 50 where we will be able to stretch our legs ( I'm not encouraging street racing here, just an opportunity for those who are A/C'less to get some fresh air )

All the way to the Aylmer Marina where we can indulge in Poutine or other types of foods and drinks on the LARGE patio overlooking the Ottawa River.

This is pretty well the identical route as last year for those of you who participated, with the integration of the Highway 50 being a new feature. The route may undergo some subtle changes as I've yet to make this trek this season confirming there isn't construction or other variables that may hinder our plan.

Please refer to this link for the route in detail - Ottawa-Gatineau Hills Annual Cruise Route

We had a turnout of roughly 20 cars last year and about a half dozen motorcycles. We had the misfortune of picking a long weekend (Thanksgiving) and that meant a LOT of traffic through the Hills and JAM PACKED parking lots in and throughout the park. So hopefully we can avoid all of that this year and have a similar, if not larger, turn out!

EVERY CAR and EVERY ONE is welcome!!! Please feel free to tell a friend!!!

Gatineau I always hear was amazing for bike riding, never went to far but from what I saw it was, wish I could experience like this. Good luck with the event Mike, enjoy yourselves!

Mike I'll be there without any doubts!!!

I'm located in Aylmer and I can take us all for the BEST poutine in the area haha

And yes Gatineau hills is a wonderful place for photoshoot and scoring with the ladies

Do you mind driving behind and picking up my parts LOL

dammit, i was hoping the "edit" button would have stayed in case I did make some changes to the route.

Glad you're coming Marc!

And Bryan, let me know the next time you're up here, like I said, beer, wings or donuts..and not the kind you eat muahahaha loool

Hahaha, for sure, as for beer, wings or donuts... I have no idea what the first two are!!

Mods - Can you please change that link for the ROUTE in the original post to

Ottawa-Gatineau Hills Annual Cruise Route

This is a revised version utilizing a "back up" parking lot in case we need to accommodate more cars.

^^
Done!

Thank you Rob!!

I might come out for this, provided i have the car out lol.

I'm sure I'll make it up there. But I really want the question to be "what car should I take?"

Take the spyder this time having that new windshield will give you a clear view of me in front of you looool

And troy, more the merrier! Spread the word, we want a bigger turn out this year

On that note, this weekend I plan to do the tour to double check our route. I'll post my findings.

does my car need to ba all shiny and dent free...its my sleeper factor lol

nawww, just running..I will probably wax the eff out of mine in hopes to match up the one side of my car's two tone factor but really, it's about the cruise and pictures of landscape with our cars.

I'm in! I think. As long as my buddy doesn't have his 30th B'day party on the Saturday I'll be okay to get up early and head out.

Sweet!

We'll have a blast..just hoping I'll get my new meds before the meet

lol I want my car on the road by then

glad you're coming Mike!

I plan to drive the route this weekend to confirm everything is good to go.
