VFRW 2010 Kootenay Tour "The Best of BC"

I'm saddened by what you said. All I've ever done is biked in BC and WA...so I have nothing else to look forward to? :baby:

 

day 2 will be some of the best rds BC has to offer for sure! have to say Oregon and California do have BC rds beat hands down IMO.

 

yes there are some pretty sweet rds across boarder,have been lucky enough to ride in 47 states,i am just a die hard fan of B.C. mototorcycling long time member of the LEAN OVER TWIST THROTTLE B.C. TOURISM BOARD good time should be had by all

 

49 states impressive, lucky you, only 9 for me still just a rookie.Its easy to forget what great rds we have in our own back yard.Have you rode WA part of this rout from omak (hwy20) to metaline( hwy31) to boarder?. that area is new to me just wondering what those rds are like.

 

have not ridden that area in 10 yrs or so, will be up that way this summer as alot of my family live in trail b.c. just across from there,to many miles since then dont remember many details

 

Hi folks. Fairly new member here.
I'm in.
Before I reserve the rooms:
Is there anyone here who needs a roommate?

 

I have two friends that I've invited and have asked for a firm commitment for July 1 but don't hold out much hope for either of them. will post July 2 if I don't get a firm yes.

 

got to tell you getting super stoked for this trip

 

I've added you to the list agraham, glad to have you on board.

It's gonna be fun, as it stands this is going to be a large ride. :thumbsup:

 

Well, is anyone getting pumped about this ride yet?.... sorry, a bit early still? Nope.

 

I'm hanging onto my time off by my fingernails between my Wife and my Boss it isn't easy.

 

You'll be a better husband and employee upon your return from your mental getaway. Feel free to use that, works for me.

 

ya, was thinking about it while i was struggling to install new sprockets and chain today...bring it on I'im ready

 

Chome. Yu would have had sexual dreams on the Slo 2010 ride. You should really try to make it next year. I have been working on a couple of these guys to come up for our summer ride and just may succeed yet. I am ready. WHen we going, next weekend? LOL

 

think your still pissed...how many kegs?
Ya i still have wet dreams from road trip through so-cal last yr. maybe next yr.
safe ride back!

 

Woah! I just checked the link in the newsletter. I was planning a route almost exactly like this for my self to go on this summer. I'd love to come along with people, my only problem is that I'm from just north of Edmonton, so I'm not sure how to go about this. Edmonton to Abbottsford, round the loop, Abbotsford to Edmonton. I'd need a bit more time off.

Another is, my schedule is chaotic and makes it hard to plan anything. I'll know closer to July 1st, but might not be able to get a room. Any campsites near these places just in case haha.

Anyways, I'm a 36 year old single dad, so I'm not a squid either. Be nice to make some new friends.

Hi Exo, good to see your thinking about. Feel free to take a look at the route and plan whatever you want around it. You don't need to do all 3 days if you don't want to. Especially if your coming from Edmonton to Abbotsford you will have done day 3 already. You can drink some beer, eat some wings and spend the night in Vernon with us and leave for home from there if that works. Day 2 is the best riding day, keep that in mind. We have kept that day short on purpose, you can meet us the night before for just day 2 as well and skip day 1 and 3. Whatever works for ya.

 

I plan to peel off at Lytton and go home to Squamish via the duffy lake road, Through whistler (on to Vancouver coming in from the North) and I think some from the lower mainland people may come along??? You are welcome to join us? Why don't you plan to meet the group at Ainsworth?

 

You had me at beer and wings...sniff!
Anyways, I think I'm gonna commit and cruise down to Ainsworth on Saturday (saturday right?) to meet up on that night. I'm an Alberta tradesman so who knows...I might not even be working at all by then. If so, I am like a leaf on the wind! I'll try to get some sort of reservation in Ainsworth tomorrow. Never been there so it'll be interesting.
Also, (and I'm sorry ), but I don't have much time to poke around on the net (hence me hardly being here) and this will probably be my first fairly long road trip. Anything that you people can think of that's a must on a longer trip? Flat repair kit? Bungie cords? I have no idea. I trust my bike and all I need is a couple clean pairs of boxers and a toothbrush!
Jason are you the person kind of organizing this? I'm gonna PM you so I have a number to call when I get there?
Thank you people. You all rock.
Exo

 

Sweet. Just got my rooms in Ainsworth and Vernon!
