FVT 2011 Notes:
I have updated the times to refect the 30 minute delay added to the meet this year.... plz PM me if you feel this times are not accurate and it will take longer or shorter... These are estimates by me... and i may be off a bit. I have decided to make the the meeting place in maple ridge a VERY short stop. We will still stop at Value Village parking lot to pick up any people waiting there, but will be departing almost imeadiatly, so if you plan on joining there please be ready to go at 10-10:15 when we drive through. If u need to phone me i will have my cell phone (604 613 8336)
-BCIT is the starting point and all members are encouraged to start there if they can.
There will be 2 other places to hook up with the tour later (Mission Chevron and Harrison for lunch)
WE WILL BE STOPPING AT MAPLE RIDGE THIS YEAR, but only for a VERY short while to pick up anyone waiting at Value Village parking lot.
The Chilliwack ppl that want to will starting from chilliwack so if anyone wants to cruise with john, carmen, chel?, and brett) to BCIT the route will be as follows. Anyone from chilliwack can meet me us the Safeway parking lot on Luckakuck way @ 6:45AM. We will leave there at 7:00am sharp and make out way to the Mcallum rd chevron in abbotsford @ around 7:30. We will leave chevron at 7:45 to make the 8:45ish meeting time @ BCIT. I think this time line seems correct but please PM me so i can adjust it if needed be.
BCIT:
ARRIVE:8:30-9:00 +/-
LEAVE:9:15 @ the latest
MAPLE RIDGE:
ARIVE 10:00-10:15
LEAVE 10:00-10:15 (we wont be sitting around for long, so anyone planning on meeting here please be ready to join in at 10ish when we stop in quickly.
MISSION CHEVRON:
ARRIVE:10:30-10:45 +/-
LEAVE :11:00
This is a good pit stop place. Repairs (I've done that!), fuel, coffee, bathroom.
This is also a good alternate meeting location if you can't start at BCIT.
TRAVEL TO HARRISON HOT SPRINGS LUNCH AREA FROM HERE:
60 KMS
ALLOWED 1.25 HOURS
ALLOWED ONE 5 MINUTE STOP FOR REGROUPING JUST OUTSIDE MISSION.
HARRISON LAKE LUNCH STOP:

LEAVE: 1:45 +/-
TRAVEL TO HOPE SLIDE FINALE:
60 KMS
ALLOWED 1 HOUR
ARRIVE: 2:45
DURATION :1 hour
MEET OVER AT AROUND 3:45... everyone then can make there way back to wherever they came from!!
***THREE PLACES TO PAY ATTENTION***:
1. On the Lougheed Hwy between BCIT and Mission, there is 2 turns (or more) for Dewdney Trunk Rd.
One right after the Pitt River bridge, and, the next one.
DO NOT take the one right after the Pitt River Bridge. Its the next one you want! Its clear
if you have the map (you have printed it out right?)
2. Watch for the interchange from Lougheed Hwy to Hwy 1 after leaving Harrison. We have gone the
wrong way more then once!!
3. Watch for the interchange after travelling through Hope, and getting back on Hwy 1.
The HWY 3 exit sneaks up, and we have missed it and headed to the Coquihala more then once!
Volunteers and radios needed:
1. We need a volunteer to take lead on the trip, and one to be the tail and follow the rest of the group. This way there is a leader, and a followup car to pickup stragglers and break downs. *A middle person would be nice also.
2. If anyone have FRS Radios please be bring them. I will bring two if possible, but the more the better for communication. Communication is the key to keeping the group together during the tour.
Please PM me if you would like to volunteer yourself to be one of the leaders or the one behind.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing all new and old members this year.
PS. If I am able to join this tour with a member this maybe my last official BCDSM meet, as I do not own a DSM anymore.
