So our 'normal' Ride planning timing just won't fit .... I think if we planned to arrive mid week and leave mid week we would accomodate the most people .... so for planning purposes I would suggest arriving on a Wednesday and leaving the next Tuesday would fit for those who still have jobs to attend to ....
Just my rough suggestion

Be about 10 or more days each way for me. Just sayin'.
I did say 'most of us' .... of course some are farther away .... or closer ....

Great place right around the corner for steamies & poutine but it would be pretty soggy by the time we got to the Maritimes.

There would probably be a small group heading ‘down east' and Montreal would be about a perfect day's ride from our last stop in Toronto .... be careful what you wish for Dave ....
