Ok, so how about this.  eh meets huh where hwy 237 meets hwy 20.  On a map they intersect,  seems like a logical spot.  Say 11:00am?  If we allow two hours from there to get to the tavern that should be enough.  The ferry at Clinton sails on the half hour.

Does this work?

Now I’m feeling like I’ve gone from the eh crowd to the huh crown, cause I can’t find hwy 237 anywhere.



Anyone know roughly when Godzilla is coming through so I can plan a little better for that?

I think that’s one of the reasons we are going to the meeting. To find out.

Can't make it, didn't order tires for my 500 yet  ::)

This meeting is to meet the riders in the PNW, find out which route it should go and who's going to do it. The piece to the puzzle I can't seem to get from our neighboring locations is when and where it will enter our area. So far my attempts to contact anyone has been meet with nor response. I was hoping to have more info by this weekend. Let's hope I can get a response.

I don't think breakfast was in the plans.  If you want to ride with us we will be at the chevron in Blaine at 8:30.

Come on guys. We don’t need to stop for breakfast, but it only takes a couple of minutes to swing by Bart’s house to collect him. I’ve got his address logged into my GPS so the detour will be minimal.

All for one and one for all.

Looking forward to tomorrows ride to Seattle and the planning meet.
Some of you might be doing an over nighter, but I need to be back Saturday evening/night at some point, so those returning will have company on the way home.

See you all in the morning.

Cheers

good times. It was great to finally see bikes and faces.
Great that the BC group came all the way down.

It was a good turnout for sure. Long way to ride for lunch! It was great meeting everyone and seeing all the CB's. Next time we should plan for more of a ride and meet somewhere halfway... HWY 20 comes to mind.

It was great meeting up with everyone and putting faces to screen names, great pics!  Props to the Vancouver crew for riding that far for a beer. 

North cascades ride looks to be planned for July 16th.  It would be a great ride and about the same distance to the meeting spot for all this time around.  My buddy is planning the ride over at DTT.

Damn! Looks like you guys had an awesome day. I thought about ya'll sitting here on the couch with a frozen bag of peas in my crotch. The good news is I'll be riding soon. Next time....next time.
