OK, here are the Official Plans.
We will be meeting at Lougheed Mall at 9:00 AM. :shock: I know this is early but this is a long cruise so we want to start early. Jeff is working on getting Security to close a section of the parking lot for us. We will leave Lougheed Mall at 10:00 sharp. From the Mall we will cruise to McDonalds in Maple Ridge via United Blvd/Mary Hill Bypass/Lougheed Hwy. I expect this section to take us around 45 minutes. We will group up again at the McDonalds. I would hope to leave McDonalds around 11:00 AM. When we leave McDonalds we will go North on 228 St until Dewdney Trunk Rd. About 15km down Dewdney, Travis will take over the lead and take us down some twisty roads into Mission. (I tried these roads and they are great). We will meet up again at the Chevron in Mission. I would think we would be there between 11:30 – 12:30. I know that some members will be meeting us at Chevron. We will leave Chevron, and take some more twisty roads (Again, I tried these are they are fun) which will take us back to Lougheed and on our way to Harrison. I expect to be in Harrison around 1:30. We will take an hour or so break in Harrison for Lunch. Some of you mentioned having a BBQ and others opted for a restaurant. I would hope to leave Harrison around 3:00 and head up to Hop and ultimately the Hope Side. The maps below only show us going to Hope as I did not know the exact GPS coordinates for the Slide. It is only 18km out of Hope so not that far. I think that we should be at the Slide around 3:30 to 4:00.
Please keep in mind, the times are not exact, nor do we have to follow them to a tee, it just allows the people that are meeting us at different points of the cruise to know when to expect us.

I think that I covered everything. If not, I will add it as the date gets closer.
This was my first ‘real’ meet last year and it was great. I hope that this year is even better.
