    Oh. We may be going international here.

    I suggest we as Canucks meet somewhere on our side and then our Yankee brotheren meet somewhere south of the 49th. We can then arrange to meet somewhere in Bellingham. If no one else wants to look after the northerners, I will step up to the plate and once I have a better idea how many, and where they are from, I can come up with a meeting place and a Plan of Attack.

    Maybe someone from WA can set things in motion down there or "volunteer" one of your Washingtonians. Bellis Fair Parking lot would make a good place for north to meet south:canada: :usa2: :canada: :usa2: :vtr2:. We might want to meet for breakfast first. If it looks like there may be lots of us for breaky, then maybe we should look at giving a restaurant a heads up or reserve some table space.

    Lets see what develops here.

    Ride on my brothers, ride on!

    Wish I could make it. It cleared up a few hours to late for us today :sad: I got out in Richmond though, it was nice.

    Still upset about not getting to hook up with you guys. I know Randy..., we'll all hook up sooner or later and with chomper too!

    I think thats as good a spot as any to meet. northerners can ride down hwy 9 and southerns can ride up hwy 9 instead of slabbing it on the I 5. there seems to be miles of back roads with awesome twistyies that crisscross hwy9. I plan on riding those roads again soon so hopefully i will know my way around by the time we all meet for a ride
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    See you there Randy. Let's see a couple more viffers show up!

    I'll check back in around 10:00am. Taking one of my kids to the Marafun run this morning - too early :redface:

    Ride Friday May 7 1:30 PM

    I am meeting chomper at Bruce's Market (Albion area) at 1:30 Friday. We're going to take the Ferry over to Ft. Langley. We'll stop by at Wendel's about 2:00. If any one else can make it - great!
    We will probably do "the loop" (old faithful)

    If you can join and don't know where these places are , let us know.

    EDIT: let's make that heading "MAY 9"

    Love to go Guys, but some surgery has me off the bike for a few days. Besides the company is educating me Friday in something. How to deal with Emergencies of Critical Incidents or something like that. Hopefully I will learn something new here.

    Let me say that that was the best ride I have ever had. I learnt a ton and was super excited the whole time. My tires are nicely scrubbed to. It was an absolute pleasure to finally meet you and chomper. Good people you both are and I felt 100% comfortable riding with you both.

    I think the entire package was my favorite. Like I said it was my first "real" good ride so it was all amazing. I hope you guy's have enough patience to put up with me again, it was great.

    You can't blink with chomper in front of ya... next thing you know he's gonzo!

    Right on JS...that's enthusiasm!

    Chomper has lots of Friday afternoons free, I sure enjoy getting out for a ride before the weekend even starts.

    I think we planned it well - weather is turning south.
