Hi guys and gals,

Highway 40 in Kananaskis Country opens on June 15 (or thereabouts, depending on snow levels), but it would be a great excuse to go for a bit of a run. There are a couple of options we can work out, such as an early morning meetup (Delta Hotel in K country? Numpty's restaurant near Calaway Park? Dead Mans Flats?) do the drive, stopping for the occasional photo op (there is likely still snow at the Highwood Pass) and then grab lunch http://www.caymanclub.net/images/smilies/beer1.gif in Turner Valley/Black Diamond/wherever.
For those that don't know this excellent route: Highwood Pass, The Canadian Rockies

Show of hands anyone who might be interested? While this is the Cayman Club I would vote to let Boxcars come along as well, otherwise I'll have to sit on the side of the road and watch

Cheers,
Craig

Maybe, its father's day right? Might make it hard for some people to turn up.

Good point - depends on how you spend fathers day. If the run started early enough we should be back in the city by noon, but the alternate option is wait until next weekend? The pass should be open by then - never any guarantee's that it opens on *the* day...

The 15th would be difficult for me (two little kids at home), following sunday has much more potential!

Sounds very interesting! 21/22 would work best for myself. That's if you would allow 'flatlander' Edmontonians come along!

I'd be interested in the 22nd if it's a go. I have PCA (Edmonton) Club events on Friday night and all day Saturday this coming weekend so this Sunday might be a bit much for a Fathers day Weekend.

Ok - let's aim for Sunday, 22 June - no holidays that I can tell, and the pass will likely be open.

As far as allowing 'flatlanders' along, well, I guess thats OK, as long as you don't mind some altitude and corners If you've not been on this stretch of road I'm sure you'll enjoy it - smooth, sweeping corners, excellent views (bring a camera, keep eyes open for wildlife). Open to suggestions as to meeting places and times - Highway 1 Humpty's would work, or anywhere along Hwy1/16th Ave heading West. Anyone have preferences for time? Meet at 09:00? Earlier? Later?
Cheers,
Craig

I'm in for the 22nd

Just an idea, people who said they want to go... maybe send everyone a PM on th 20th or 21st? I could do it if I remember.

Doc, I saw a yellow Cayman on 17th today at around 2:30, was that you?

Nope. I was up at Crowfoot Crossing looking for lunch!

Is this cruise happening? Lets decide what time and whre to meet up! I invited a friend too.

I’ll have to pass; I have decided to install my new Softronic Race Plenum this coming weekend. I’ve been staring at it for the past three weeks and haven’t had the time to install it. I have a DE day at Race City on July 4th so I would like to try the new SRP out on the track. I don’t really care about Dyno stats; I want to see what the upgrade will do compared to stock set-up on the track.

Have a good run, keep the shiny side up.

Sorry to hear you can't make it Polar Porsche.Weather is looking reasonably good. At least Racecity is in pretty good shape right now!

Kor, there is definitely a group going out from my neighbourhood. Meeting at 9:00 am on Sunday the 22nd. I am trying to arrange a sitter for my kids to make it. A bunch of guys I have been out with before-sounds like a couple of Ferrari's, a Lambo, Viper, ZO6's, 911 turbos and some sport bikes. Should make for an interesting drive!

We/they are meeting in Discovery Ridge (next to Elbow Valley) at the coffee shop at the bottom of the hill, only little commercial strip in the community. Usually head out Hwy 8 then south and do the Hwy 40 loop, maybe stop for a bite in K-country.

I hope to be there, hope some other Cayman Clubbers can make it too!

Excellent - maybe post a maplink to the little strip mall? I didn't know there was one in the area...
