The forecast for Saturday seems reasonable, I'm proposing a ride to Beaver Mines for lunch. South on hwy 22, about 5km west on 3, then south on the 507 which is also the Castle Ski resort road. We can stop in Beaver Mines for a bite to eat, then come home through Pincher Creek, then take the #3 east till we hit the #2 north back home.
Didn't manage to meetup with anyone else. But I did have some breakfast at the flying J, then rode a couple hundred Km. When I got to High River I was starting to get pelted with ice crystals so I turned east toward vulcan, made a loop and came home.

I won't make it guys. Managed lunch in Canmore and a ride around Banff today instead.

Ok, sounds good Bruce, see you a 9:00 at the flying J for breakfast. If the roads are dry I'll be on the bike and will take the long way home, maybe through Idus - Carsland - cross the river - Okotoks overpass - back home. That will be enough on a 3 degree day.

I will meet you for breakfast even if it snows and I am in a car. A guy has to have a good breakfast.

ok, so the forecast is a moving target. Let's watch it for another day then figure out a plan. I'm not interested in riding for 4 or 5 hours in freezing temps when it's snowing or raining. 8-o
Maybe we can set the start time back an hour and do a shorter run, but lets wait till tomorrow to see what the weatherman is saying.
Right now I'm thinking meet at the flying J at 10:00 go in the resturant for a coffee and figure it out.
Anyone tentatively in for that?

It's looking like that front is coming sooner than they expected. The weather map shows the front to the north and west. South and South-East of Calgary look clear, at least no percipitation, but cool, for saturday. We could shorten the ride, maybe do Vulcan instead.

Pretty hard to pin down the weather early this time of year.
I'd love to get out some more too.
This Saturday doesn't look so good, right now.
Looks worse as the week goes on, unfortunately..

There must be someone out there interested in a ride on Saturday. Forecast is still clear south of town for Saturday, temps will be cool +9 in Pincher Crk.
We can shorten it, or modify the route. Comon gang, lets get out another time while we can before the snow flies. :-)
