Revelstoke 900 Ride - March 3,4,5 2011

[94fordguy]

Sounds good to me! Thanks for taking the reigns on this one Seth

haha, no problem Dan, super easy to set up/edit in polls and such. I just want to make sure that if this is gonna happen that it keeps moving along.

Once we get the dates figured out, then someone will need to take up the planning for accomodations, etc.... Hopefully someone more familiar with the area

Depending on what dates are chosen, I might not even be able to make it...we'll see.

 

[94fordguy]

Well our days are picked.... looks like we should be planning for a 3 day trip with riding days on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

I will now reset the poll and we can now vote on which weekend we would like it to be held on. As many of the comments seemed to favor the month of March, I will post a poll accordingly with possible March dates and leave it open for 2 weeks.

Here is proof of the previous poll.

Ok, apparently it is not possible to edit a poll and make it so everyone can vote again. In that case I have opened a new poll in a new thread and linked it below.

Dates Poll for Revy 900 ride 2011

Please do not post in that thread, let's keep all discussion contained in THIS thread

Thanks

The poll is set to automatically close on Saturday October 23rd.

Did not vote, because any of the dates in the poll are ok for me, get voting boys!

 

[Danbot]

Only 4 votes on Revy date in the poll.... get voting guys! The sooner we tie this up, the better chances for a large group.

Hay guys! Well I made her back over good to see this post Revy's is a short drive for me and March is an awsome time to hit the mountain! Count me in The 900 will be ready to Rip.

 

[Danbot]

I know it seems far away guys, but get your votes in on the date poll for this trip so you have a say. Lets make it happen!

 

[94fordguy]

Poll closes in roughly 36 hours... get the votes in guys


Trying to get the dates figured soon so there is plenty of time for guys to book vacation time.

Thanks

 

[94fordguy]

Well with an underwhelming turn out of 7 votes... the first weekend of March gets it.

Unless you want to re-open it to see if we can at least hit 10 votes it looks like we are all picked.

ttt
looking forward to this like it's next weekend!!

 

[94fordguy]

So I suppose we better continue the planning details.

Whats the plan for lodging? Would someone relatively familiar with the area care to volunteer to take the planning shoes?

We need to finalize a lodge or motel to plan for, etc...


Suggestions, Volunteers?


With event dates of the 3rd,4th,5th, I think we will need to plan for having folks arrive there on the afternoon/night of Wed the 2nd, and leaving Sunday Morning the 6th.

TTT

Anyone want to co-ordinate or should we all plan to book lodging individually?

 

[Danbot]

Ive never been there, otherwise I'd probably volunteer.

I guess a big decision would be if we want to try and get in at Glacier Lodge as a group, or just grab hotel rooms in town.
I'm fine either way, Glacier Lodge sure sounds nice, but at about $70 a head it's a bit more expensive.

Maybe if some of you guys planning to make this trip could chime in and voice your opinion on lodging options then we can sort out the details. It would be nice either way to make reservations early.

 

[94fordguy]

I know Glacier House was mentioned as you don't have to trailer, and I have stayed there before. Nice looking place, convenient bar (pub) in the basement, but SPENDY. Better for a party group as you can reserve your own cabin within walking distance of the main lodge. I have read a few bad reviews although our stay was perfectly fine, no complaints. Parking was kinda tight though, but not a huge issue as you don't have to trailer to the trail head.

The last time I was to Revy for Mountain Mania 3 last year we stayed at the DAYS INN just across the bridge in town, literally 3 minutes from the Boulder Mountain snow-park, and a very new building with a nicely accessible parking lot for lots of 4-place trailers to fit with EASE. Rates were VERY reasonable if I remember correctly.

There are a couple restaurants within walking/stumbling distance as well.
Zala's - pizza & italin style food/bar if I remember correctly, right next door
Dennys - it's Dennys, lol, about 2 blocks away
There's also a Shell station for fresh fuel close by also.

yeh man sad to say but i hav enever been there either..no one to go there with

i would be more then willing to help run the deal but i cannot 100% garuantee me going till the weke before...i am off that sun-mon-tues anyways, but the airforce owns my A$$ so they can make other plans for me at the last minute if they wanted to. ya dig!

but if it was me...i am there to sled...drink, eat...so i could care less if i slept in some strangers house (on my back of coarse), it can be the biggest dump and i would be happy...i would rather spend money on sled parts and beer then where i sleep and eat.

hope that helps, lol
