Hey all. It's been a LOOOONG winter here and it's not quite done. I've been planning and re-planning my first SS1000 attempt. I have included a link to the route I have so far. I am planning on starting in Peterborough (my home town) and heading east first and doing the ride counter clockwise. I haven't planned out all of the fuel stops yet, but I do have them planned in Sundridge (the northern most point of my ride) and in Reeces Corners (the south western corner of the ride). I will be starting and finishing at the same gas station in Peterborough. So what I would like to know is where else would everyone recommend I stop for fuel to ensure I have stops "in the corners" so I can prove I didn't cheat the mileage?
I was thinking I need to do a quick stop in Port Hope for a receipt. Even though it's only a short time into my ride, I figured I might need to prove it to ensure I didn't take a short cut. Then I figured I'd stop at the Huskey truck stop at the 401 and 16 just outside of Johnstown to prove the south east corner. Would I need to stop in Kanata for a receipt, or could I push through to Barry's Bay? After my planned stop in Sundridge for the northern point receipt, would I then need a receipt from Parry Sound to prove I didn't short cut over to the 400? Then I figure I might need a receipt from Own Sound or Saugeen Shores to prove that corner.
I haven't had a chance to figure out the exact mileage between stops yet. I know my Bandit will comfortably go 320+km in top gear cruising between 100km/h to 120km/h. Just doing a rough calculation for the stops in the corners and the possible stops I've mentioned above, I'm looking at 8-10 stops. Is that too many? Not enough? Some of the stops will be well short of my bike's range but I figure I will need to stop for proof of route.
Any advice as to where I need to stop for proof or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
