Hi there Bdog and a Happy New Year to you! I live on the rock and visited Chewelah last August with the ride - hope to meet you soon. At -14C today in Nanton it seems positively balmy compared to Ft Mc at -22C...although at a toasty 1C today here at home I may go for a quick ride to celebrate the new year. Best wishes to all and have a great year!

Hey John! That's good news. Do you still plan to work in Fort Mac and just make the "commute"?

Let me know when you get settled in and we can hit the roads around the area. Maybe by then Eagle Eye will be done the rehab on his knees and ready to get back on the bike.

Hwy 533 west of Nanton to Chain Lakes is just a beautiful ride, especially going from east to west. I've lost count of how many times I've ridden it in either direction but still one of my favorites.

Awesome Al, I knew eagle eye was down that way too. Really lookin forward to getting down there and getting as much riding in the area. Good to have a tour guide to ride along with too. My machine shop is going to be set up there too....its been in storage for the past 3 yrs. now. Yes we will be commuting by plane, nice and easy.

Go for a ride for me too. What part of the rock are you from? My hometown is Nanaimo.

Well that is definitely good news, Dan! Now if only Spring would hurry up and get here. I am getting very tired of Winter!

John, how are preparations for the move coming along? Still on target for April?

Looked up Nanton to see where it is compared to Calgary and I see that it is just about an hour straight south. I will be hopefully in Calgary about the last week of July. Hopefully can meet up with some of you .

Just seeing my post from about a month ago. Well, with about a foot of snow falling in the past week we are no closer to seeing bare ground than we were in February! WTF???
