Here is the plan:
Saturday, June 23rd.
10:00 a.m. departure from the Casino Parking Lot
First planned stop will be the Tim Hortons at the south end of Quesnel. We will wait there for stragglers and to re-group.
12:00 tentative departure from Tim Hortons
Re-Group at the Fas Gas at Sun Valley. Once we have re-grouped we will be escorted into Likely. All on pavement.
The first stop in Likely will be the Pub (what else).
After libations, we can mosey over to the Lundblom Cabin which is very close.
Free time/rides do whatever until the BBQ. I have Fast One as a committed volunteer for cooking. The BBQ will be sponsored by the Club.
On Sunday the plan is breakfast at the restaurant. I have been encouraged by the owners to make reservations or at least give them the heads up. I will do that. We plan to have coffee available for early risers, and ask that they persevere until we can all go to breakfast together. Breakfast is on your own dime.
The ride out should more or less be the same, but obviously if some members want to take off somewhere else no one is stopping them. We are encouraging a group ride return for both the comfort of any stragglers and for commeraderie.
Friday, June 22 in the evening there will be a truck and trailer at Brian's at 1650 Elm Street (250) 561-1982. We can load camping gear and whatever you don't want to tie to your bike. I have carried some big loads on a bike, but never a lawn chair or a cooler. It might be wise to label your gear; many lawn chairs and coolers look the same.
For booze and ice we are encouraging local shopping. You can buy beer and stuff at the General Store in Likely. Booze is on your own dime.
Fast One, Kaziff and I are on the food committee and will be making purchases on the Friday. I have made arrangements to leave work early. We are planning on purchasing for 30 people. Steaks, salads potatoes etc. and all the paper plates and goofy plastic cutlery will be provided. For the BBQ you only need to bring your appetite and favourite beverage.
If there were other plans that came up that were missed, please chime in here.
This will be a fun event. While it is to memorialize Bob's 5th year since his passing, it is also about having fun.
Peace & Grease, Dennis
