Long or short day ride?  

28 members have voted

  1. 1. Would you like to have a long or short day ride at the meet (350 or 500+ kilometers)?

Get your drink on, Gary. Haha.

Seriously - the last few rooms in the group block booking are still available. After those are gone they'll take bookings that are available in the hotel (which will be few and far between - get your booking in!). Otherwise, seek lodging at the other options listed in the initial post.

Damn! It'll he hard to impress Squamish now!! Maybe with our drinking? Or if I can get my off road skills up to v-fore's?!? But that bastage set the bar high...

In the meantime, season's greetings everyone!

Yep, I can vouch for you Gary, as I was right on your tail and watched you pull that somewhat unbelievable maneuver with finesse and a touch of bravado. I though maybe you'd just ridden over the bank to pick up a roadside treasure of some sort but then when you came shooting back onto the road, I guessed it may not have been intentional. The only thing that would have made it better is a wheelie as you hooked up on the pavement after leaving the gravel.

Looking forward to next year's adventures.

Hey guys, +1 for the trip. Just booked a room. According to the recptionist there were still a couple of rooms blocked for the group if anyone else is thinking of it. If anyone is heading down through/from calgary to get there let me know! August is going to be LONG wait.

Awesome. I've added you to the list of folks coming to the meet.

I know the feeling about the wait. Two more months until we can ride again here in Calgary. If I'm back from my other trip in time maybe a few of us can ride out together (there are 4-5 people from the Calgary and surrounding area).

Just booked my room at the Hume. I love Nelson and my wife and I are talking about moving there someday. Hopefully sooner than later.

I haven't ridden in several weeks, but may go out today. Getting a little break from the incessent rain. Probably ride up from Duvall to Everett to see my 98-year-old Grandma and play some disc golf at a new course.

Thanks for organizing this year's event Superfunky.

Glad to hear you're confirmed.

Looks like it's shaping up to be a good sized and good natured crew.

Maybe we'll have another late night beer and politics session like last year. We closed the place out! ;)

Greeting's all.

I have a chance on getting the following item for those of you who do not have a water proof Garmin / TomTom or KungFU-Panda GPS. I have not seen said item, but from what I have read, it works, a little bulky but better than a plastic baggy. Follow the attched link, let me know if it is a worth while venture. Fits Nuvi series and wide screens

BTW - this has nothing to do with GPS city in anyway, shape of form.

Thanx, Miguel.

Could you pin it to make it easier to find, or create a dummy post in the Canada forum that points to this post.

For some reason it doesn't show up near the top of the PNW topics.

Since you decided to call it the PNW meet I went ahead and moved this event to the vfrd major events forum under the pnw section.

About 6 hours from Chilliwack to Nelson.

Keep me posted if you can make it and I'll add you to the list of attendees.

Hmmmm...

Not far at all and family in the area. Maybe I'll have to get myself to one of these things this year!

Thanks for the kind words David!

My Skills helped me out this morning when I got a flat on the rear of my commuter...thirty seven miles on a new tire :angry: what a way to start a Monday morning

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Just thinking about t-shirts and shirts for the meet this year. Trying to do something a bit different.

What do you think of this shirt design with some silkscreening/embroidered meet logo on it? Kinda the funky mechanic type/bowling shirt. They are about the same cost as a good t-shirt. Food for thought….

Now you're talking.

I've also considered a few new events this year - maybe a pool tourney or dart tournament, maybe even, wait for it - a bowling tourney! :laughing6-hehe:

Thos shirts are totally funk-o-matic!
