Alberta group ride

Let me know when you get about. I am feeling sick(of work)and may have to get some fresh air starting Thursday.
-
-
So what is happening then? Where are you guys meeting, still going hard Saturday? Still trying to figure out logistics.
-
We are trying to meet on Thursday morning.
-
I know Nova Scotia is a long ways away from you guys but it is on your side of the border. We have some friends that call N.S. home in the summer and they just bought a Sling after seeing ours last fall at the night race in Bristol. I told them about the forum and he said they would check it out so hopefully we will hear from them soon. Oh and he said they were leaving theirs stock ... Brahahaha yeah right, we'll see about that.
-
Have fun guys! Remember me if you're around the Edmonton area!
-
Wow the Alberta Group ride was a great success. After 6 months of planning we had a great turn out me and @Canoehead. I think if we give it a year in advance then we may have 3 Slings next year. I think we should plan a US invasion. Calgary to St. Mary's to Yellowstone to Rapid City but set a date now. Maybe the week of Aug. 7th and we can go to Sturgis also? or the last week in June so we can celebrate our 150th
birthday. Any ideas or thoughts. -
Where did you guys go? I was still hoping to join on the Saturday...
-
We left on Thursday, stayed over night in Edson. Headed back on Friday and split up at Entwistle when I went south. I would have went longer but it looked like Saturday may have been wet(fairweather rider). More reason to put up a solid day months in advance and just do it.

Hey guys sorry I couldn't join you, been off recouping from surgery and just lurking on the forum.Sounds like you had a blast.
Just a small heads up re: next years plans.
@Slingshot Garage, @SundreSlingQueen, and myself have had a meeting about organizing a Alberta event for next year.
It's in preliminary stages but looking around the July 8/9 weekend in Sundre Alberta. Potentially followed by a group trip to SlingShot in the Rockies 2017, for those that are interested. That event is currently slated for July 12 to 16 2017.
We are currently working on some things and hope to get some solid info out before the end of the year. If succesfull maybe make this into a annual event . -
Count me in, I'm maxflex!
-
Sounds good. Haven't planned next summer holidays yet so it will be in the running. Unlike @Canoehead I am not very flexible. I can hardly touch me toes but I am losing weight for winter holidays. Maybe next year I will get the cockpit weight down to 450lbs.

-
I lost a little weight and had to go to the doctor because I noticed a
largegrowth between my legs. I can see a bit more of my toes now. -
I thought that turned out to be your Slingshot?
-
Can't wait to see this come together. My wife & I were thinking of hitting the Rockies next year. If we can time it with these events, so much the better!
-
Apparently our ride with @Stairgod was timed very well. This explains exactly why!
