Arrived home at 5:30 pm. Was delayed about hour and half trying to get over I-90 Snoqualmie Pass due to heavy traffic and construction restricting traffic lanes. Got a bit toasty sitting in stop and slow traffic under a hot sun. Thanks Mike for another Nelson success! Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones on this trip. Kevin

What an adventure it has been! Mike, you go above and beyond. Mikes, Jims, Kevins, D&T, Arman, Ian, Terry... everyone could not have been more friendly. All of you are welcome at my home in Reno, Nevada. I have 2 guest bedrooms! Give me a couple of weeks notice. Whether motorcycle, mountain bike or ski, I will show you around. What a blast, safe travels, rubber side down, MarkinReno I'M for phone if you can't reach me via this blog.

Made it back in one piece 1/2 hour ago. Good trip across the province with Gary and Randy... now to rest. Pics to follow tomorrow. Fantastic event, kudos to Mike for doing a great job, have to hand it to you and can't wait for the next one. Best of all was getting to meet up with a great group of people again. Cheers, Ian

Home safe and sound – 1,731 kms door to door. Mike, thanks for everything… and if the books do not balance at the end of the day, let me know and will PayPal you some $$ Great route home: Nelson → Kaslo → New Denver → Nakusp → Needles ferry to Highway 6 (Monashee Pass) down to Summerland and took the Summerland to Princeton FSR. Nice twisty pavement at either end and about 60 - 70 kms of gravel in the middle. Lovely scenery and great way to end a wonderful weekend! Great to see so many familiar faces and meet some new friends! Thanks again Mike for everything – it was a great weekend. I will post a link to all the photos in the next day or so

Great fun! Thanks Mike! ! Jeff and I had a blast on the Fauquier Rd.. holed up in Tonasket. Home in the am.. Cheers to all.

Home safe..minus 1 SD card that had all of my video from Saturday. I remember seeing it when i stopped for breakfast in Sprague but its wasnt there when I got home^&$%^#$@%#@$%#@$%$#@!%#$ Ending distance...

The non-VFR brethren took the road less traveled to Buchanan Lookout....

yycviffer +1 home safe and sound. Hey, did anyone else getted hosed yesterday south of the ferry on the 3A down to Creston????? There was a woman with a garden hose at the end of her driveway squirting the road when she heard a bike coming!!! WTF and I was doing the speed limit. Hit the hot springs out of Nelson, and spent a relaxing evening in Fernie at the ski hill. Came home today. Great seeing everyone and thanks all for making the trip memorable for my other half. Looking forward to the next and + 23 on the thanks to the funkmiester for all the planning. I have to admit I'm kind of on a down today. I've been looking forward to this since Novemember and now it's over all ready. Jeremy

Cageless, and I had some stop and go coming over Stevens Pass. It always bottles up in Index area, this time the Reiter Road cutoff was repaired so I snaked through that road and came out just above Startup, then inched my way to Sultan where I was able to turn off on the Ben Howard Road. Great event Mike, and be sure to let us know if the numbers don't balance, I'll be happy to help out. It was fun riding with old friends and hanging out with everybody. Curry and I will start working on the Oregon trip, stay tuned. Lee in Duvall P.S. The delay through Index cost me an hour but I was able to weed whack and mow already this morning, and NOW I can relax. P.S.S. Hey Mike, are we getting icons for the bottom of our screens? Hey, I just noticed, I don't have one for the 2008 Koot Hoot.

Had a Hoot! Great to see old friends and meet new ones! Looking forward to seeing all the pic's I didn't take....Can't wait to do it again!!!

Home safe and sound. Thanks for a great time and i hope we do it again!

Had great day ride, threaded the needle through the rain clouds, getting just enough to clean the visor. Stopped in at Pilot Bay lighthouse after departing the ferry. Broke in the new tires and they feel Marvelous! Looking forward to tonight.

Road through ALL the rain Fri to get here. New tires mounted and ready to be scrubbed in. Great parking lot time last night seeing old familiar faces. Mike's Place pub was packed and good grub. Morning coffee with the crew and getting ready for an easy day ride. WARNING TO ALL: between Salmo, Nelson, Kaslo and New Denver there are a TON of cops on patrol. Watch your speed and avoid the souvenirs.

The three cylinders of fury have arrived at the four cylinder event Time for a quick shower before the beer flows - not that I didn't get wet enough today. Sunshine tomorrow! See y'all soon, Tony.

It's raining in Kaslo right now but the forecast looks good for the weekend. Have a safe ride and see you tomorrow.

I'm in Fernie now for breakfast. Yeesh. A bit cold this morning. Nice and warm here though. Halfway there. :)

I see through rose coloured glasses too. And I don't have any glasses! Kick stand is just about up.

Well the last of the Calgary crew is ready to launch in a liesurely T -45 min. Have a safe ride everyone and loooking to catching up with all! See you guys in 8 or 9 hours. JW

Culturally sensitive? Does that mean i need to put the baffle back in as to Not offend?

What time are you planning on leaving Wenatchee Cageless? Won't be too bad 600ish miles about 9 hours

I think I am all packed and ready to head out in the morning. Seems there will only be two of us departing from TH kickstands up at 09:00. We could see a drizzle for part of the ride. Which reminds me. Treat visor with Rainex. Been a while for that.
