Just wondering..... though I know it's early, if there'll be an attempt at a 2008 Canadian Ride this year. I know last year's was cancelled, and that was a real shame. I think the biggest problem was lack of co-operation with the weather.
My suggestion..... start planning earlier this year, so people can figure out thier schedule.
As always, (for the last 3 years) I'm gonna suggest Elliot Lake for the Canadian ride if there is one. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to help out this year as my schedule appears to be pretty hectic..... but I could point people in the right direction. I know there's been some rides in the Cochrane area, and no doubt, it's nice to ride a "4 lane highway", but my personal opinion is that winding, hilly, trails are more fun..... that's my only reason for chosing Elliot Lake. On top of that, the 2000 lakes within a 200 km. radius means lots of "play time" as do the hundreds of Km's of powerlines for the powder lovers. And... Elliot Lake is only a "day trip" away from Cochrane anyways.....
Regardless of where the ride is (if there is one) I hope we're able to make this happen this year.
