    Looking forward to finally meeting you Jeff. Then again, I will likely drink a beer with you at the Ox while I am in the Peg a couple weeks before. Sometime while I am there, I am likely to drive through your town on my way to pay respects to my father who's ashes were spread up north of Lac Du Bonnet at Coca Cola Falls.

    For sure ... It's going to be great to meet up with you and others this summer, and for sure we can got for a few beers while you're in the Peg.

    You'd definitely be driving right past my town if you're taking 44 from Lockport on your way to LdB! Beer is always cold at my house!

    Will keep in touch that way. There's two routes I can take but will go by your place for sure. Wife will be with me and she is a tea totter and straight laced. Imagine that eh! Married to me...for coming on 30 years....

    You know you're Canadian when you refer to travel time instead of travel distance.

    I didn't realize that was a Canadian thing to do. Now that I think about it all my travels are thought of in time not distance. Even when I know the distance I convert it to time.

    We will meet up for the ride there. In all likelihood I will be riding out with Jviffer from Maple Ridge. He goes by Chomper here. If you are interested, you can join up with us. Will arrange things more definite later.

    Hey Randy, What's your plan for the route home? I might take a few extra days and ride to Kelowna to visit family there before heading home ...

    Likely back the Crowsnest. I have to get back right quick because of wedding anniversary on the 26th. If I don't make it back, then I have missed my last anniversary. Get my drift.

    BTW. vroom-vroom is a site member in Kelowna. I stop in to see him for lunch whenever I go through.

    Yeah, I hear you ... I guess I could ride with you until I hit 33 and head North.

    Hmm ... think he'll attend the ride?
