Anything missed, anything new, or just something you want to let others know about, post a reply and I'll add it into the list.

Thank you and hope to meet up with more in the new year.

FYI
Check back, as I update the above information from time-to-time, without adding a new post.

As for a new post, here is the latest I just got.

Hi All,

Here it is one more time – the details for the joint Chapter A and Chapter C Canada Day weekend ride (June 29 to July 1).  There are still a few rooms available at the Cashmere Motel - $89/night (USD).  Call the motel directly and let them know you are with the Gold Wing group. (509) 782-3522.

We will be riding down Saturday morning – meet at the Blaine Chevron on H Street at 8:00.  Kickstands up at 8:30.  We will be meeting up with Chapter C members at the Home Town Café in Sedro Wooley for breakfast, then proceeding to Cashmere over the Cascade Highway 20 to Winthrop and down to Cashmere.  The following day we will ride through some beautiful mountain scenery to Ellensberg, down along the Yakima River canyon to Yakima, and back up along the Columbia River to Wenatchee and Cashmere.  On Monday, we ride home via Highway 2 to Monroe and up Hwy 9 back home.

Giselle and I look forward to seeing some of you on this ride.

Dave & Giselle

This weekend, the GWRRA Vancouver Chapter have filled up 100 Mile House for a Rally. Seems I missed the messages on it.

There is over $1000 worth of prices (?).

I forgot to mention, the Duffey Lake Loop is this Sat. I'm not going to do it  , can't for too many reasons.

But at this time, I think I'm going to plan on doing it Sat Aug 24. Will post later. 7-8 am start, will be at least 12 hours.
