Title: May Cruise Question
Post by: kirin on February 21, 2006, 08:23:53 PM
Hey Guys,
I'm thinking of bringing back Spring fling. Possibly a cruise sometime during late april/ early may. Just interested as to if anyone would be interested?

Just do it, if you make it happen people will come. Instead of fishing for interest, just plan it, post it and hope for the best, whats the worst that could happen? You show up in your ford ranger and no one knows who you are?

First you have to locate 2 screws and 2 nuts that fit.  Then offer up the tag to the location where you want to attach it.  Insert one screw in one hole and install the nut.  Then insert the other screw and it's nut.  Ensure the plate is straight, then tighten the nuts.  Righty tighty, lefty loosey.  Repeat for the other tag.
If you need help deciding what tools to use, just ask.

fuk ambleside  , those speed bumps are the size of mountains !!!

what about the church in north van , it's right next to the highway (taylor way exit, i think)
it's got a big parking lot and conects straight to the highway so there's no lights , so no one gets stuck at a light and left behind.

i can put up a map.

The sea to sky route which has been done in the past isn't 6 hours. Its more like an hour.

B Ambleside isn't that bad and the route i have doesn't have that many lights and theres way around it....

Only problem I see with starting a cruise at a church on a Sunday (I hope the cruise is on a sunday, more people can attend) is most churches seem to have some sort of function that day :P

Clark I'm just checking it and its looking good.
Russ no problem my pleasure
I think Ambleside is the perfect location and no intent to create a holy mess out of someones parking lot.
