2005 Manitoba TY Ride - Information Needed


Brian and BVer, I have changed my reservations and booked a room at the Super 8 starting Monday night. It looks the drive from Minneapolis is about 7 hours and will probably leave around noon on Monday. See you Monday night if you are around, otherwise Tuesday morning.
 
We should arrive before 4pm on Wednesday and ready to ride a bit if that works for anyone.

Hopefully the ice is thick there with all the RX 1 tons. Just don't pack up too much???
 
suisse how fast do you drive? It should take you about 8 1/2 hours to do that trip, unless you travel at 85mph. I'll pm you with my phone number give me a call Monday when you get in and we will get things setup for Tuesday. ;)!

Matt if you still have my numbers give me a call when you get in. If you don't let me know and I will get them to you again.
Brian, I have both your home and mobile numbers. I will give you and BVER a call during the day on Monday to let you know how I am progressing towards Beausejour so you aren't stuck all day. Yahoo Maps says it should take just under 8 hours. The unknown is the amount of time it will take to get through Customs. Sometimes it is 5 minutes and other times it is an hour or two.

Prairie Dog, you obviously have a lot of free time on your hands. :D
 
I second that Suisse Sledder actually way to much time on his hands. He actually forgot one very unique Canadian trademark.

You can wite your full name in the snow with out stopping the stream once.
Your old lady drops chow and crosses all the T's and dots all the I's with very neat and tight streamed lines with quick start and stops. The quality Canadian ladies pratices this to develop their ahem inner control muscles. lol
 
obviously have a lot of free time on your hands.

I want to get you used to our customs here in Canada so you feel more comfortable. We are a strange bunch you know. Except Swiss, I'd like to know where you got your hands on some prairie oysters?

Were they still twitching? That's when they're the best. :Rockon:
