I would go for a late september because i will have the money and time then.

You just need photo ID and a birth certificate to get through the border.

I have a passport so i'm good to go. Set the date so i can put it on the calendar.

Well, I can't make it May 17/18 (PN race), May 31/June 1 (Idaho City 100 - tentative), June 21/22 (Corner Grass in Alberta), June 28/29 (Monkeywrench in Lytton), July 26/27 (Grizzly ISDE), August ~20th to mid-September (ISDE in Greece and maybe Romaniacs), September 21 (3 Worlds CC in Kamloops) and October 5 (Tree Hugger in Castlegar).

So, what weekends don't work for other people?

I propose September 26-28 as a tentative date for this ride. The weather will have hopefully cooled off and given us some moisture so trail conditions should be good. What do you guys think?

The date will never be good for everyone so just set it.

That date sounds good to me.

Just noticed this post.
I may be able to swing this date, no races that weekend. Don't know if I can get the time off to drive 6 + hours and 550 miles from my place. A very busy and expensive year for me.... unsure.

I'll pick you up on the way.

The only issue with September 26-28 is there's an Okanagan Hare Scrambles Series race that weekend which may effect getting local riders. I'm not doing that series this year so it works fine for me.

d2w, cactusreid, what's your guys opinion?

Nothing on okanagan trail riders about any events that weekend so that is a plus. I will certainly be attending regardless of date.

The hare scramble is on the 28th (Sunday) in naramata, but hopefully shouldn't affect too many. Especially for Saturday riding! :D
