It was great timing as I will also use some of the info on HWY 97 for my return route.
Nope....haven't seen it....but great minds think alike.... Can't wait to make the run up through there....should be a fantastic ride.

Kris,

Has there been mention of attendees bringing door prizes?

I don't think we mentioned that specifically, but for sure, anyone wishing to bring a small door prize are welcome and encouraged to do so...!!!

Just throwing this out there for some of you BC and WA riders who will be heading west after the rally. There's a new motorcycle museum that just opened this spring and it sounds pretty cool. They are located along the TransCanada between Salmon Arm and Chase.

From what I've read on another forum it sounds like this guy has a pretty impressive collection of old bikes.

Even if you don't like old bikes just the cinnamon rolls in their cafe probably make it worth the stop!

Just a reminder to be sure and bring a filled out waiver form to the Rally and place a filled out ICE form into the right-side saddlebag pouch on your bike. They can both be found at the link below....

Looking forward to seeing everyone there....!

We left southern Ontario Saturday morning and 1470 kms later are in Thunder Bay Sunday with only another 400 klicks to get out of Ontario. Bigger than Texas!
Great ride so far, gotta love that ride across the top of Superior, keeping it under 800 a day or I get irritating squeaky noises from the pillion.
ETA Canmore is Wed noonish.
See ya soon.
