It's time to talk about the Harrison Run.

It looks like it's a go.  This is a fairly long run so I'm going to suggest a 9:00 am start at the McDonalds on Willingdon at the Freeway.  Lets try and get going on time so be there early enough to get a bite to eat.

We will be taking the Freeway to the Agassiz bridge then crossing over before heading into Harrison.  If the weather is nice we can hang out on the beach for a while.  Michelle and I know a great place to eat.  If the weather is not so good I suggest we take a dip in the public hot spring.  VERY relaxing. It costs $9.00 to get in.

I figure we should aim for home around 2:00 pm.





See you there!

Count me in.   Oct 22 ? (Weather permiting)   When route has been finalized, could we please have a hook up spot for us in the valley and a contact # as you suggested in case of last minute changes.

Thank-you     Dawg

If I have my Formula back together by then I'll go. Sounds like it would be a fun way to break in the engine.

Maureen, I will PM you my cel#.  Anyone else wanting this number please say so here and I'll PM you also.  This number is for last minute questions leading up to the run.  I can't say whether I will answer my phone while driving.

As for a second or maybe third meet up, I hesitate to commit to it frankly.  If I say "sure Maureen no problem", then what about Colby and on and on.  Before you know it, we spend all morning pulling over picking people up.  That's not a huge deal I suppose, but then I or whoever is responsible for organizing forgets one person and there is hard feelings.  Nobody wants this.  I still feel bad about forgetting you that day.  No fun for you, no fun for me.

You may think it's out of your way but you'll be pulling off early on our way back.  So in the end, you'll be traveling the same distance as the rest of us.

So here it is folks.  The only way to be 100% sure you hook up with the rest of us is to be at the starting place.  If you want to try and find us on the way, no problem, but please don't be upset with the run leader or anyone else if something should happen.

As always, channel 20 on the GRS radios.

Hey, an opportunity to possibly meet the mysterious (or maybe I should say "abominable") SNOW MAN. I may have to go on this run now!

Colby, we don't want to hear the words "engine" and "break" used in the same sentence anymore.

Ok...this sounds like a winner to me....:)  In the next few days I will get the details for the public hot spring and hopefully the little cafe Michelle and I love.  Good food, good prices and pleasant staff.

Check the first message in this thread for details as I update them.

 I'm still working on the Blue GT rear suspension, but as we get closer to Oct 22 it might be fixed.  Of course my Alt is also fried...

The suggestion has been made that we return via Lougheed Hwy
instead of the freeway. That part of the Lougheed is a wonderful
ride. It would add a bit of time to the run, but worth it I think.

What do you all think?

The Lougheed Hwy is great once you're east of Maple Ridge, but not so great west of there due to all the stop lights. However, it's definitely a route worthwhile taking either going to Harrison or coming back.

Here's some info on the Hot Springs themselves...

I'm still going. Rain or shine. If nobody else shows up, I'll still do the run by myself.

Though I likely will not be jumping in the pool.

Anne and I plan to go and we definitely want to test out the hot springs!

No, we're not bringing the hound on this run.

I will be back in town, however we are having Arianna's 2nd Birthday party on the 22nd.  So I won't be able to attend.

I am really glad to see everyone pulling together for the event though.
