Earlier is always better, but not as important here as the Gatineau cruise, where you have to beat the bicyclists out to have a stress free drive. I have found on group drives/rides up that way you often end up behind someone pulling a fishing boat or camper, and they wouldn't pull over for an earthquake! Either way, I'm good with what ever the group decides. If we decide to grab lunch before heading up, I'll meet the group in Perth and save some tables.

Norm and I will be there for 5pm. Come say hi.
Btw, what laptimes do you get in your 600? Must be a blast.

It is a blast!

I typically run a 2:25 at the front of the intermediate group. I tend to not push my braking points, I'm more there to drag knee and break speed limits. (A lot safer than trying that on the street)

Guys at the top of the advanced group can run 2:12 on the same bike as me.

TRD exhaust

Had Mendes install the TRD exhaust today. Traffic stopped me from seeing if there is really any performance difference, doubt it.

Definately a lot louder though; but sounds good. Nice rumble now. Not as loud as my Focus MBRP 3 inch (my ex said she thought the bus was going by her house when I drove up) but I'd guess it's over 90db at 3000 rpm in combo with the TRD intake.

Also crossed 35k... and had the first server done eww...

Very cool. I am running best of 2:33.xx, was hoping to drop it down a bit more but street tires are letting me down. Way fun with the FR-S there as well. If you're hanging around after your day, come for a ride-along.
