Member Contributer Polarbear Posted July 5, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 5, 2011 Speak for yourself, Christian. I can safely say that I'm worth the ride to Nelson. Just booked a closet (budget room) with a shower down the hall at the New Grand. That's all that was left, but I had to wait and work around some other commitments. August will be busy, but I look forward to the ride up to the Kootenays (haven't been there in a few years) and meeting the boss (HS), Funky, and the others whose posts I have read with interest since before I got my VFR last summer. Cheers, Belfry (Phil) don't get your hopes up too high, you may be disappointed by some of us... c Then, I'll go to see you. But you, on the other hand, shouldn't ride there just to see me... Anyway, back to work here. C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 T-shirts are now ordered. If you'd like to send me payment you can do so by PayPal or by Interac transfer from your bank (most major banks will do that now - usually without a charge). Costs The total cost per person will work out to $42.00. That will cover the shirt, printing, prizes and the first round of beer when we meet on Friday night. The shirts are a bit more money, but, they are unique again for this meet and being a poly/cotton blended shirt it'll last you for years. Please send payment as soon as you can so I don't have this order sitting on my credit card for too long. If you could send payment by July 15th I'd really appreciate it as I'll be away on my Alaska adventure ride.

Member Contributer digitallyhip Posted July 7, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 7, 2011 Here's the link for Paypal - Send Money Online I don't know if anyone else has hit this, but all I get is a "fatal error" when I use that link. I just went straight to PayPal and sent $42 to SuperFunkOmatic's Shaw address. No problem there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, this may work, Send Money - superfunkomatic@shaw.ca Not to worry. Go to 'send money' and use my 'superfunkomatic@shaw.ca' e-mail.

Bob's your uncle The email address works just fine. Thanks again, Funky, for all your work organizing the meet. This will be my first VFRD event--is there a secret handshake? Is HS bringing a new flaf? I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Could one of the 'merican folks PM me? I might need to ask a favour. The t-shirt company in the US might not ship things to Canada (not sure why, but…) I may need to ask one of your to accept the order and redirect the shipping from your location to l'il ol' me up here in Canada. Let me know if you can help out - I'll pay any shipping costs just want to make sure the t-shirts are on their way before I leave for the next three weeks. mike Edit - Thanks to Gary/V-Fore for stepping up to handle this. Why American businesses are so reluctant to fill out 5 minutes of paperwork for things to cross the border is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer auggius Posted July 9, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 9, 2011 The ST1100/1300 crowd was in Nelson a few weeks ago. I spoke to a few in Kaslo who said they had over 200 attendees. I kept hearing them arrive in town as my office is at the highway intersection. Oh and the roads are a mess around here right now but should be clear for the meet. Just outside of Nelson they are repaving the highway towards Kaslo. I don't know how much they are doing though. And in Kaslo the road is being chipsealed / sealcoated (not sure what the correct term is). There's gravel everywhere. But since the highway to New Denver was done a couple of years ago I don't expect any road work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wow! 200 is an enormous group. I can't imagine the logistics of organizing that group. I'm very happy with 25-30 riders. We'll have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Ainsworth hot springs is nice and only about a 30 minute ride away. Nice way to relax. They have a cave tour at the pool where you can walk through the hot springs - pretty cool.
