Uh, it sounds like a bodily secretion?? LOL I can't find either place on my crappy map.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #403 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:13:07 PM »

Boston bar is good, it's almost 1/2 way

If I were to do the whole ride Friday, I have to start here at 7:30am to make it to Boston Bar by 2:00pm. I thought the 2:00pm meet time gave us both time to get back before it gets cold up there. Since you don't need to leave until 10:00am or so, I could call you in the morning to let you know if I am going to go that early.

If I wake up to pissing sideways rain, I'll still make it to Vancouver, but later in the day when it breaks, and be there for a Sat run.

I thot Boston Bar sounded like a donut .. heh..heh..

SPUZZUM AND YALE AND BOSTON BAR WERE HUGE PLAYERS IN THE FRASER GOLD RUSH DAYS..
Just bring up a map online look go 80 miles East of Van, turn left..north .. about 30 miles.. Spuzzum!! I kid you not people in BC say Spuzzum ??, its beyond Hope...!!

Just thinking it would look so cool in the book or final story to day we had a meet in Spuzzum..

seaweb11 · « **Reply #405 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:17:14 PM »

, but how does my plan sound?

754 · « **Reply #406 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:23:15 PM »

Sounds good as long as I finish my work and scare up some cash..

Dont forget the Seattle bunch, they may want to intercept you, and liznap

..GeeZee to take him to Backfire..

scottly · « **Reply #407 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:30:04 PM »

However you are coming, it looks like you have to pass through Hope before you get to Spuzzum.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #408 on:** September 28, 2011, 09:17:05 PM »

Then it would be good to PM me a phone number I can call you early Fri.

Hi seaweb11. Relaying a message for754.

Frank says, he'll meet you around 2:00 ish.
He will be on his computer around 10PM.

seaweb11 · « **Reply #411 on:** September 29, 2011, 08:27:30 PM »

Just spoke to him, Frank & I are on for tommorow.....unless its pissing rain

If so it will be Sat for sure, so it is getting done 1 way or another.

The judge has reserved his findings till next week, so I do still have a house to come home to

ride, ride,ride

Great news!

Yes, excellent news on both fronts. Maybe some of you guys can meet up with Derek and celebrate with GZ one way or another!

scottly · « **Reply #414 on:** September 29, 2011, 11:10:18 PM »

Derek and Frank, best wishes for both of you. Please try to keep us posted.

(This is going to be like waiting for the splash-down of Apollo 13...

Derek was on the ferry an hour ago, and I am leaving in less than an hour..
We are OFF...!!

Good luck and weather!

Lights Out · « **Reply #417 on:** September 30, 2011, 12:19:37 PM »

I'm still willing to help out but working solid until Wednesday. Still willing to do some island riding, perhaps from Nanaimo to Victoria...

I'm still planning to pull a LizNapp in Victoria and bring him back to Seattle for a minute if we can work it out. Let me know.

More great news!

Derek, you tha man! Wow, we pulled this #$%* off. Totally amazing if I do say so myself. I must say that I knew we could do it from the time I came up with this crazy idea back in December but there were a few times of concern (not the PNW!)

Congratulations to any and all that had anything to do with this. A hearthfelt thanks for making my dream come true. You guys are definitely the best!

HOWEVER, all accolades actually go out to Godzilla. He is tha REAL MAN that MADE this happen. Excuse me while I piss in my pants with joy. HELL YEAH!!

scottly · « **Reply #422 on:** September 30, 2011, 08:47:12 PM »

Houston, we have splash-down!

(anyone heard from Frank yet?)

754 · « **Reply #423 on:** September 30, 2011, 10:01:58 PM »

Just got in about 8:30 ish...managed not to run out of gas the rest of the day...

Wicked cold in the mountains, the last pass is 1700 metres, think thats a mile high..felt like it was low 40s up there.. at only 7:30.. then in 15 mile you get down to 1300 feet, and 66 degrees... felt a bit better..

very cool ride thru the Fraser Canyon, went thru Spuzzum.. stopped at Hells Gate,...

sure is easier to put on miles when the days are longer..

scottly · « **Reply #424 on:** September 30, 2011, 10:10:40 PM »

Glad you made it!!

Know what you mean about the change in temperature with elevation; my first 100 miles carrying GZ went from 90 degrees F in Phoenix to in the 40's as i got to 4500'. Froze my ass off for the last 10 miles.
