May 20th - Family BBQ
We will have a short ride and end it with a CMC Style BBQ. Bring you the family, some chairs, your own drinks and if you want anything special on the BBQ. We will supply the burgers, chips and potato salad. Cost is $2 per person. If you have any lawn games, bring those along - we have botchi but anything else is a bonus. The BBQ will start after the ride at Sue and Grizzz's. Park down on the street (not on the garage side) as we will use the back yard.

General meeting per email
May 25-28th - CMC Meet - in - the - Middle
catch the 8:30 ferry from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay. Anyone from the VI east coast or other chapters can meet us at the ferry. When we arrive at Horseshoe Bay we can stop in town and meet up with anyone from 056 who is coming along. We can also do another stop in the Fraser Valley (Langley or Abbotsford) for a break, fuel, and meet up with anyone from 091, or 065 who came across to Tsawwassen. From there we will head up to Kamloops via the Fraser Canyon. We can stop in Hope for lunch and then decide on any other stops we want to do along the way. We should arrive in Kamloops by dinner time. Saturday May 26th : We'll do a group ride in the Kamloops area under the guidance of Kamloops chapter 064. Sunday May 27th: We'll ride up toward 100 Mile House, hopefully we can meet up with Prince George 026. Monday May 28th: We'll return to the coast.
A hotel that looks decent and doesn't cost too much is the Quality Inn at 1860 Rogers Plc. in Kamloops. For some reason, booking on line is cheaper than phoning, so please book your own room on line. This will be for three nights Just so you know, I have booked vacation and am planning to do this trip, even if the weather isn't great. The only way I would cancel is if it looks like 4 days of hard rain will happen. That isn't going to happen!
Finally, I want to say "thank you" to Chris in Kamloops and Big Don from 037 for the work you have done to organize this trip.
If anyone has questions or comments, please contact me. There will be another note with any last minute details or changes sent out closer to the 25th.
At this time, I am hoping to go, so if you have any questions, please let Grizzz know. Thanks
