Chilliwack Run

Lets talk about the Chilliwack Run shall we?

It's on Saturday Aug 20th.  I'm thinking a 10:00AM departure from our favorite McDonalds in Burnaby on Willingdon.

We're still working out the fine details but basically it's a leisurely run down the Freeway to Chilliwack.  Maybe some country side streets just to make it fun.  Then a few hours touring the Military museum which has tons of iron on show.  Then some will be heading to Pick-A-Part to look for goodies.  The rest can head back together.

Now if there is interest, the pickers could leave for the bone yard once we all get to the Museum.  They could spend an hour or two digging for Gold and be back in time to enjoy some museum with the rest of us before we head home together.

Thoughts?

Harrison has been to this Museum so I will let him tell us all bout the neat stuff inside.

I think at one of the meetings we agreed to move it to the weekend before. I have it marked as August 20th on my calendar.

There is the UBCSCC team enduro autocross on the 28th which I'd like to go to.

I wonder if Saturday the 13th would work then. On our return from Chilliwack we could proceed to the club's meeting.

Fair enough, the 20th it is.

Ok peeps, lets have a show of hands.  We're one week away from this event.

It has been suggested that we could make a side run out to Chilliwack Lake before doing the Museum.  I have been to this lake many times and it's a fantastic view.  The lake itself is this beautiful Emerald color.

The road is fairly curvy and all paved now.  It would add a little over an hour of travel time to the run.

Pick a part seems to be a dead horse, so maybe the lake addition can fill in some time.

Thoughts?

I'm in, but unless I get my car sorted out, I will need a ride from
someone.

Michelle is working that day so I'm inclined to go either way even if I'm by myself.  Summer is finally here and I'm determined to not waste a single sunny day.

So you're welcome to join me.

I'm adding the Lake portion also cause it's the right thing to do.

You bet. Let me know.

Have Fun All...and thanks Dawg & John for your help last night...mom is really happy having her first meal this morning...lol

The run did happen as a matter of fact, I am sorry we didn't hook up.  It was a lovely ride.

I've been thinking about this idea of picking people up on the way to destinations.  It's not a good idea for this very reason.  I personally have too many things on my mind on run day to remember who's going to be where while we ride.

In the end, we left about a half hour late. We got on the freeway and it was a bloody parking lot.  My car finally started over heating so I steered the group off track to avoid the traffic.

I totally forgot about you Maureen, please accept my apology.  It would have been great to ride with you.

In the future, maybe we should post a contact number so people like yourself can find out what is going on.
