Not really looking for a pull as i have my own boat, but basically just looking for other riders around the area to hang with and learn from Razz

Where is Rice Lake? I'm looking for people to ride with - I do have a boat (well, my parents do), but it's no good for wakeboarding at all.

Its just below Peterborough...

You can see it on the upper right...
Pickering (shown so you can have an idea whats close) is in the bottom left

Ahh - not exactly close to my cottage Sad

If you're ever passing through Toronto though and feel like picking up a fellow rider on your way, let me know Wink

Its a decent lake, blows up alot though with that SW wind... it takes time to find calm spots on those days... mornings are usually nice though..

My cottage is on this long river-like bay (Go home bay), just off a lake (Gloucester pool), so it's usually quite calm. Although it does get kinda choppy sometimes, but it's never too bad.

Psychout, i'm about 15 minutes, by boat (going fast) from White Falls.

If you're driving down go home bay, once you get close to the end of it, my cottage is on the right, just before the last island... an ugly/old looking white boathouse with blue (??) doors.

right now i'm riding behind my dad's old (like... 1970's) mastercraft - outboard. hardly produces any wake at all. it sucks but i'm trying to make do with what i've got.

i know there seem to be quite a few good riders down my way - i just need to get to know some of them so i can ride with them. the president (or VP?) of TSN has a cottage just across from me, those kids are pretty damn good. really nice boats as well...

I am around, but Rice Lake can be hit or miss for riding conditions.. it gets windy quick..

spooks · Newbie Joined: 26 Jul 2006 Posts: 10

Hey Man

I live in oshawa, my cottage is in the Haliburton area, so i never get to ride during the week. It would be pretty easy for me to get up there to ride. Drop me a line, i'm not a bad rider eiter, been riding for 8-9 years now.

spyd4r · Addict Joined: 22 Apr 2006 Posts: 701

I don't get to ride during the week often either... :/

I live in Hamilton, and got to Rice Lake on the weekends.

I also live in Oshawa. Cottage an hour north. No "real" boat to speak of but always ridin behind the tinny with the 25 to hit some rails we've built. Always looking for people to hook up with to ride. If you are looking for a lake to take a boat to head to my lake. Fairly small, not connected to any other lakes and always can find a shoreline that is wind protected.

What lake is that?

furitive_revolution · Outlaw Joined: 14 Jan 2003 Posts: 127 City: Oshawa

It's lake Dalrymple. It's bout 30 minutes east of orillia. an hour north of oshawa.

Hey spyd4r let me know when you get your boat in and when your going riding, i don't go to my cottage every weekend and rice lake is only like 1hr from my house so i would love to get out and ride on a nice boat like yours, i have cash for gas and a boat liscence and winch for those ponds the boat won't fit into

kool888 · Newbie Joined: 06 Jan 2007 Posts: 3 City: Waterdown

We are in Holiday Pines at Cameron Point where the lake narrows to go to Hastings.

You should check out Sturgeon Lake (Fenelon Falls/Bobcaygeon). My bay is surrounded by islands so it's the most calm bay on the lake. I don't think it's too far from Rice Lake but I'm not sure (in the Kawarthas still though)
