**canuckrider** · 07-11-2017, 10:17 AM

Things happen in just a little under a month! I'm starting to get excited and looking forward to some great riding!

Anyone else who wants to come, just let us know here and book your motel room! It's just that easy!

Schoeney,
Sorry to hear that you can't make it. I looked forward to swapping biking stories with you over some Crown Royal!

I was looking forward to that as well. This darn thing called work continues to rule my life.

Enjoy your time!

I still plan on making the run...should be a fun few days...👍!! The only thing that might screw me up is that my sons wife's father just passed away the other night and no word yet on funeral/memorial dates. I'll have to stick around if there is a conflict.

You guys have fun. Looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Had to cancel. My part time work is interfering. Have fun everyone. Looking toward next year.

**canuckrider** · 07-30-2017, 02:08 PM

Andy, Sorry to hear that. We will have to get together for a ride sometime this year.

I was hoping that with the ride being only a few weeks away that we'd get some last minute "sign-ups". Unfortunately, we seem to be going the other way.

Who plans on heading out when? I had originally planned on taking a few days on either side of the ride to do a bit more touring around eastern WA and BC. Unfortunately, with other commitments I won't be leaving until bright and early on the morning of the 10th. I do plan on taking 2 days (the 13th & 14th) for a little more leisurely ride back home.

What are other guys' plans? Lomax & Echo? Voyager?

Netnorske · 07-30-2017, 05:39 PM

Looks like I won't have a conflict with the family situation as the memorial will be Saturday Aug 5. I will be leaving Thursday morning Aug 10 and meeting up with Kawalski Rider along the way. We should arrive late Thursday afternoon sometime. That said, I have amended my four-day plan to allow me to cover some more new ground. I plan to hang out with you guys thru Friday night, then take off Saturday morning for Kamloops. Riding home from there on Sunday is much easier than doing so over Hwy 2 or I-90 and will allow me to ride some new roads in BC that have so far escaped me on my way up to Kamloops. Hwy 20 is an option, but is also slow on a Sunday and doesn't offer anything new in terms of unridden roads. I'm looking forward to it and to seeing some old friends.

Brad (Echo) and I are leaving Edmonton on Saturday Aug 5 and heading into the Armstrong BC area. Hoping the forest fire and smoke situation isn't to bad. We will do some local day rides and then Wednesday head for Creston for an overnight at my sisters place. We'll arrive in Chewellah on Thursday afternoon. We will have to leave Saturday morning, with an overnight in Radium Hot Springs, and then to Lake Louise and north on the Icefields Parkway towards Edmonton. Looking forward to the ride and seeing some great country!

I'm leaving the day of the 9th, overnighting in Radium and on to Chewelha for the 10th. Operator sold his trike so I'll be coming down solo. See you all there.

**canuckrider** · 08-02-2017, 03:07 PM

Bumping this in case there is any body out there sitting on the fence waiting until the last minute to decide.

The fun all starts a week from tomorrow.

nwnomad · 08-04-2017, 10:42 PM

Well, you just got two more riders. Kris said that I should get on the forum and let you know. Jeff will leave Thursday after work and stay at the Hinman Inn. We'll head out first thing so we should get there early afternoon unless we stop somewhere. I booked about 2 months ago and Jeff book about 3 weeks ago. So much for communication....

nwnomad · 08-04-2017, 10:44 PM

Let us know of your plans on Friday. If possible, we'll join in.
