Looks like their route this year will include a good portion of Whitemud Drive similar to last year.

I believe in the past we would meet around 9 on the southside and then ride together to Capilano...it makes it a bit easier than meeting AT capilano and trying to find each other and room and everything. Just a thought.

I unfortunately probably won't be able to make it, I hope you all have fun though. :D

Audrey,

Would like to ride behind someone? I am sure one of the big framers would offer to take you along. If your hand eliminates that option, how about riding in my tug?

I think we should get there EARLY. Three quarters of the fun is ogling all the bikes as come in -- long stretches of boring cruisers interspaced with the good stuff. So my vote is to meet at the __________ and then ride to be there at 9:15 at the latest.

How about making ________ , somewhere new?

I think we had eight to ten scoots at the last toy run.

Last word: pack light, donate money!

Just talked to Igor on the phone (and heard Sabine crying just after waking up which was a cool thing) and I told him that we would meet at Tra Amici between 9 and 9:15 and then head out to the Toy Run.

See you tomorrow!

Thanks so much for the offer John, but it's more a timing thing as I have to be at the IV clinic daily and wasn't able to change my appointment time :\

Don't worry, I'll be back in full force next year. :D

It was a nice ride. We did somewhat of the same route as last year, or at least as much of it as I could remember. Saw lots and lots of cruisers. A few nice bikes as well: several Urals, Kawasaki W650 (bevel drive cam!), Kawasaki Mach 1 (500 2T), Yamaha RD350, an odd conjoined two cylinder two stroke east European 250 (two cylinders joined with one spark plug) and a smattering of Ducatis. Oh, and I think there were a couple of Harleys there, too.

Jaelee didn't join us on the ride but he met us at Tra Amici beforehand. Seriously Wicked, Whacked Out Mopeds R HIM. Very, very cool.

Sadness that I had to miss the ride today. New school, new class, late start in the year and the worse case of the flu just in time for the weekend. Whooo hooo :?

Glad that some of the club was able to make it for the ride.
