Beyond Cruise to the mountains!

[Team_Mclaren]

I didnt find anything about any cruise anywhere lately, so im postin this up to seed some interests!

Will anyone be interested in a cruise somewhere to the mountains for some pics or BBQ or something? may be banff or K country. Sometime around end of Aug?

If u got any suggestion or interested plz post here, now remember, we expect every member to behave during the cruise/event. noth stupid with driving and such! i think this should be a great event before everyone goes back to school / work.

thx
Vince

UPDATE!

This is gonna be on Aug 22, location is elbow falls, more info to come

[Hakkola]

I'm up for it, as long as I know the date and time a couple weeks in advance, and this date can not change. If that happens I have no excuse not to come.

[Skyline_Addict]

I think banff would be fun.

Maybe we could hit the hot springs! So long as the ladies are up for it. :D :bigpimp:

[Skyline_Addict]

Maybe we could even integrate some sort of a hiking/mountain biking event into this? Depending on what people feel like doing, of course. Just making some suggestions for what we can do once we reach our destination. :D

[GTS Jeff]

i will be in calgary for awhile in august, so yea if the date is right, id be in.

[illeagle]

I'm in, The biking thing sounds good. Just like Hakkola said, Set a date, and people will come..

[Team_Mclaren]

thats it??? no interest?:dunno:

[clifton122]

I am able to go as long as it is not the long weekend.

[7thgenvic]

make a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! end of aug is bad as many people are going back to school! well i guess just the uni kids like myself!! sounds like a good time tho!

[supaj87GTS]

Ill be there Also Set a Date Im down

Mountain biking would be fun also Im always biking by myself...time to test out my new Fork WEeeeeee......

[illeagle]

August 7th?

[93PGT]

Try and get a day on the weekend...that would be best for me. I work during the week... :(

[Team_Mclaren]

so u guys just want a date? like no guagin interest and all that shit???

well anyone got any places in mind!!!

[dirty_magic]

id be in, if im in Calgary. Itd have to be later August though, give me some time to plan a vacation, and do the 22hour drive from here to Calgary.

[CelicaST-162]

What about a cruise out to Waiparous, or Elbow Falls? Make a date on the weekend!

[Team_Mclaren]

ok, date would be either

Aug 22
Aug 29

both are sundays~!!! i think 22 is better as people will start leaving for school by the 29

... or we can do it on the sat of 21 or 28.....

one of those days!!!!!!
now people IDEAS!!!!!!:clap:

[yohan4ws]

Aug 21/22 ... I got hockey on the sunday but saturday sounds great! ...

Elbow falls is a nice drive ..

that and im out of town every weekend exept that one :D

[Skyline_Addict]

yep, as long as it's ok the weekend!

let's decide the destination now!

[CelicaST-162]

If we go to Waiparous...I just might do a little off road demonstration for you guys!:thumbsup:

[Phats]

This sounds like fun Vince, I will be there for sure.

who's the half?

[illeagle]

Those dates, sound good. Hopfully the car is still running lol.. Banff?

[freakin]

I'd be in for this. As long as it's a weekend and I have at least a week's notice, I should be fine. Aug. 22 seems like a good date to me.

Waiparous would be fun, but there's no way in hell I'm taking my car down that road.

The mountain biking sounds like a good idea as well. If we end up going to Elbow Falls, then we can use the trails in that area. Hell, if we can get some trucks involved, we can even shuttle up Moose mountain (assuming the road is still open, haven't been there for a couple years).

[tulit]

If there is biking, im so there!

:werd:

[yohan4ws]

the 21st is best for me, my last hockey game (and championship game) is on the 22nd... I finish at 1pm..

and yeah, no way im taking my car on that road to waiprus.

[k_dawg]

I'd be in if I'm still in calgary during those dates. :)

[Seanith]

Might be interested :thumbsup:

[Team_Mclaren]

i dont think Waiparous is a good idea as many of ours cars are lowered..

so Elbow falls??? i heard it pretty nice there, never been there myself...

and as for biking u mean mountain biking?

[AccordTypeR]

Im in, i just got my car so a cruise sounds like a good idea, the 22nd also seems like a good date!

[CelicaST-162]

aww come on, live a little...:D :whipped:

[illeagle]

22nd sounds good. So Elbow falls? My car *should* be back togeather again. It's undergoing surgery, my intake manifold gasket had a bad seal (crease/cut in the gasket) on one of the intake channels, and one in the coolant channel..(fel-pro SUX) hopefully parts are available for me..This time OEM *bites nails*

the yellow lines are where the crease/cuts were

[BigDL]

Elbow falls is a nice little drive, and its rather beauteful out there :)

[k_dawg]

I agree elbow falls is a beautiful place, lots of things to do there and lots of great places for pictures and things. so is the date the 22nd?

[ryder_23]

Vince, count me in...i'm sure i could bring a few other people along too...cruise and a little bbq / photo op would be nice, maybe ben will come out and take pictures :dunno:

As for the biking, how we suppose to bring bikes along in our cars?

[JAYMEZ]

somethin after the 28th damnit!! lol , im in south america

[BigDL]

Hey if im in town i would like to join up with you guys on this nice little drive, and ryder if im avaliable i have like 2 different car racks that strap down to your trunk :P else find someone with a truck heheh.

[Team_Mclaren]

so i guess its set! 22nd -- elbow falls

i'll get some details later, like where to meet and things to do etc...!:thumbsup:

[illeagle]

my BBQ won't fit in the car... will there be places to cook? or does someone have to bring a BBQ? I've never been there, anyone been to elbow falls before? BTW: i'm gonna bring my bike if it'll fit in the trunk The trails look sweet...


- Who's gonna bring the girl?
















- We need a cook

[Seanith]

Girls aren't good at bbq'ing myron. Didn't you know that? :dunno: :rofl:

[EK 2.0]

[JAYMEZ]

[RiceCake]

[Team_Mclaren]

ok, so have anyone actually been there???? how do u get there? we need some place to meet up before we all cruise down there! any ideas? is there a place like a BBQ there that we can cook? or do we have to build our own fire or bring our own BBQ kinda thing??? anyone has any idea at all?

You get to elbow falls by following 22x west. I'd suggest meeting somewhere in the south, like Revy in Shawnessey so that the group doesn't get split up driving through town.

You can also take Glenmore west to Highway 8, then head towards Bragg Creek, then off to 22x.

I the route would depend on where people want to meet up before heading down.

I'm pretty sure there's small fire pits simmilar to what you'd find in Fish Creek out there. It's been a while since I've actually walked around there. But there is a big ass parking lot, so worse case scenario, we set up the BBQ's there.

[freakin]

Are people still interested in taking the mountain bikes out there?

[A2VR6]

As for BBQ's why doesnt someone just bring a portable BBQ... you know those small ass ones that run on propane that people take to camping. I have one but it takes a pretty long time to cook food.

[90TurboLude]

Yo i might be up for this, ive never met any of you folks so it should be fun! i have a mini bbq, (hibacci i think its called) and yeah.. keep me informed.

-mike

[k_dawg]

Elbow falls has lots of sites where there are bbq's up there so basically all you need to bring is your own food and something to start a fire and we should be eating in no time. lol

We can all just meet somewhere in bragg creek and go from there...i mean everyone is coming from diff sides of the city.

Yes, their are alot of places you can stop and use bbq pits, i also have a mini coal bbq i can bring up

[Skyline_Addict]

excellent, this should be a great turnout.

[Team_Mclaren]

alright, so just in case people who has a min BBQ just bring that.

and i still perfer if we meet up first then cruise down together with like 20+ cars! well, its call a cruise for a reason right?:D just somewhere close to the edge of city a road where u kinda HAVE to take to get there....

i'll get a new thread goin soon, as soon as we get the meeting location and some other stuff sort out.

[illeagle]

I'll try to stuff my mountain bike in the back seat... hopefully it fits after i cut her down to 5 pieces.. and they say 4 door sedans suck...:rolleyes:

got room for another bike??? haha
we shall discuss this later!

[A2VR6]

mountain bike? Shit gotta take the minivan then.

[JAYMEZ]

*Cough* Change date to later!! *COUGH*

[FoRn420]

approx. how far is it? km or time wise???

[Heckler]

About half an hour to 45 mins from southwest Calgary.

[Team_Mclaren]

alright, the only important thing left to decide is a location where we can all meet??? i have no clue since i live up north.... any ideas??

and for people who has wakly takies... BRING THEM!!!

[illeagle]

meet at the shawnwssy superstore parking lot, just off mcleod trail.. or somewhere close to it...:dunno:

[BigBearWest]

I might come. but i know my car will be the worst car in the cruise.

would it not be better to meet in westhill seeing how you are going to bragg creek

[qrankz]

Mind if I join in? It'll be my 1st beyond meet I guess.

As for meeting spot, shawnessy would be a good spot. Home Depot in Shawnessy or the Coliseum.

[freakin]

Why not have 2 meeting spots? One for the north people and one for the south. Or just do what we did for the Integra meet. Half of the people met at one spot, then went the next to pick everyone else up.

That, or have 2 groups taking different routes and meeting up at Elbow Falls.

[Team_Mclaren]

well, the idea is to have one huge group of people all dirving down right?:D

i wouldnt mind meeting with people in the north first, then go to the south meeting spot together, im sure me and a few north people are gonna meet up together first. so just need a south/main meeting spot.

and people, my car looks like shit too, so just coe out haha

[freakin]

I realize that....but it seems like people can't decide on a meeting place.

Why don't we just use the upper parking lot of Chinook. Everyone seems to know where that is, it's relatively central and not that far out of the way. Afterwards we just take Glenmore straight on to HWY8.

Nice and easy, just need a meeting time.

The problem with that is people will get seperated driving across the city due to lights and crap..

I think there should be a North and South meeting spot, then a meet at bragg creek at a specific time and place.

[finboy]

i might be in

I think thats a very good point, someone should find a meeting place around city limits so that everyone that is going meets there, then we all cruise out to elbow falls. That way, no one gets left behind!

[freakin]

That's why the Revy in Shawnessy is a good meeting place. No lights, just head straight on to 22x and head west.

I've made my suggestions.....I'll just wait and see what's decided on. I'll meet where-ever.

[FoRn420]

I agree with shawnessy ... still a long way for me but its better than up in the north lol :P
and as to cars looking like crap, this coming from..

BigBearWest

What I drive: 91/Honda/Civic

Team_Mclaren

What I drive: 92 mx3 gs


sure beats my corsica lol!!!

[Team_Mclaren]

alright, so we'll have a north and south meeting spot, the north people will meet up to get to the south spot, then we'll head on together, hows that sound?

south would be Home Depot in Shawnessy
north would be deerfoot mall? (or suggestions?)

and what time?
i suggest:

north would be 10:20
south would be 11:00

that way we have around half an hour to get down there, north would be leaving at 10:30

[freakin]

CRAP, I just realized that I wrote Revy, when I meant Home Depot!!

South Meet should be at HOME DEPOT . :thumbsup:

[Seanith]

North should meet in signal hill.. i know its S.W, but its better for easier access, or they can meet in cochrane and drive the other way to bragg creek..

[Team_Mclaren]

Originally posted by ~$eanith~

but i figure that we can just take deerfoot all the way down to 22x then meet at everyone else at HomeDepot.

plz let me know what u think ASAP, im working on the official thread
