    There has been some local interest in meeting for rides, it seems sometimes people were missing the postings (Axel :smile: ) and I thought we would develop a master list of people who wish to be notified.
    Whether it's best by PM, Buddy Lists or just by posting in this thread and using the subscribed notification feature to spread the word - I'm not sure (suggestions welcome).
    Most of the rides I'm talking about are typically Sat. / Sun., meet for a coffee, ride 2-3 hrs / half day type of thing.
    As the weather improves let's look at Baker, Sea-to-Sky, Duffy Lake, etc. who knows - maybe a BBQ or something.

    Just a few points:

    1) I gathered the names from previous posts of people who had expressed some interest, I have met / spoken to - and a few I plucked off the "find me" map.
    2) PLEASE ADD your name on the list if you want to be there
    3) REMOVE your name if you would rather not

    Please understand I'm not trying to be a organizer hero - just want improve communication. ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!! RIDE SAFE.

    Buddy list? 10-4... If you click on a user name, the last selection is add to buddy list. You can use the "quick links" link near the top to access "open buddy list" . Then you can hit pm users then BANG! your work is done. The only issue would be your other buddies who aren't in our neighborhood.

    Bryan your plan rocks, great idea!

    Sorry Guys, Just got in off the bike minutes ago and it is the wife's birthday so guess I had better stay home or I will be baking pies for a year.

    Weather permitting, should we look at next Saturday? Off topic, anyone know where I might find a weatherproof rocker or push button switch to mount on my faring? Heard there may be a place in LLY near the Canadian Tire near 200th. Not really familiar with that area.
