RideND · Jun 22, 2004

I do, I do. If you can just swing up to ND before hitting Canada I'm in.

Acadian · Jun 22, 2004

Hours of enjoyment Whistler will bring you = priceless!! :thumb:

RideND · Jun 22, 2004

I know. It would be a dream to go to Whistler but I dont have the money to fly to Seattle and then to Whistler.

(Someday Whistler I will come and conquer thee.)

ghettogt76 · Jun 22, 2004

I plan to be up there on the 14th I beleive. I'm already going with my family, but I need people to ride with!! Maybe we can plan something out.

DamienC · Jun 23, 2004

We've got a group of about 7 coming to Whistler from the DC area between July 8-17. If you see an Asian guy riding a Scream with a Chrissy Snow headbadge, that's me...

mobius · Jun 23, 2004

Re the title...who the hell DOESN'T want to go to whistler?!

JoeRay · Jun 23, 2004

No, don't do this to me. Its -3 outside, winter and I'm 12 nights into a 21 night stint on shift work.

Of course I'd love to go but......

Yanick · Jun 23, 2004

I'm going last week of august, I'm so excited!!!!

JoeRay · Jun 23, 2004

Summer in US and Canada, Winter in Australia; its one of those north hemisphere south hemisphere things.

Work for two weeks then have whole week off, seems fair sorta. Just doing a long block this time cause someone quit and I have to be onsite. Doesn't mean I have to work though!

BurlyShirley · Jun 23, 2004

If you guys could wait until the 13th, Id gladly go along...

Spunger · Jun 23, 2004

If ya didn't live so far away I'd be gold for it. That's not bad $1000 for all because it was like $1500+ just to fly there for around the same time. That's just one long drive....

Gonz · Jun 23, 2004

... driving all the way from Cali ... I know Whistler is good, but considering how far you are driving, is it Whistler better than DH places closer to your home ? -Gonz (Seattle)

CBJ · Jun 23, 2004

Can't wait to get my car and build up my list of road trips but whistler is a little bit to far away so it will be Delta transport.

Spunger · Jun 23, 2004

I'm thinkin about it still. You guys are leaving the day I am headed up to San Fransisco as a getaway with my girlfriend (I know I know). I thought about putting some road tires on the truck instead of swampers and heading up north for some riding. I think my truck would do fine, just not a road trip with swampers on it.

I'm leaving my current job July 2nd, and plan on catching up on some riding here and there when I can. Whistler is still an option. I wish I had my girlfriends Honda Civic to drive, I'd take road trips if I got more than 400 miles out of $60 in gas. N* might be as far as I make it this summer.

You never know though, I might have some $$$ comming that I don't know about, which will be nice and then trip here I come!

ThePriceSeliger · Jun 23, 2004

I will be there July 15-19 riding and if anyone wants to meet up... PM me

as long as you get there...it doesn't matter how, have you been before?

Two times last year but that was with my HT as the DH bike was in transit from Europe so this year July 8-12 it will be with the 222, full face and Shuttle suit.

ghettogt76 · Jun 23, 2004

I'll send you a PM Sean...

Keep me posted man. I have to do a first come first serve kinda thing but if you can pull it off, lemme know.

Hey, I had a trip planned for up there around that general time. If it coincides, want to caravan? I'd be starting from Santa Cruz too, but we would be staying at the northern most hostel there. Forget the name, some funny name, its where Ive gone the last couple times. $12 US a night with cable table, your own bathroom, and a good chance of foreign coeds. Are you doing the whole drive in 1 shot? Stopping off anywhere?

If your 4Runner can handle it, I'd be doing some wheeling up around there (Great Stuff!) as well. Ive still got to figure out how to carry 3 or 4 bikes because a roof rack dont work on my car and my spare tire is sort of in the way of a reciever hitch rack.

CraigH · Jun 24, 2004

Maybe see you up there!

Shoestring Lodge?

OGRipper · Jun 24, 2004

Not sure what you're planning or how old you guys are, but if you coordinate it so you spend the night anywhere near Portland, you MUST go to the Acropolis.

Do you like beer?

Do you like beef?

Do you like dem hot, friendly, nekkid womens?

Like 50 beers on tap, $12 gi-normous T-bones, and the cutest peelers ever. :thumb:

I know this is a family board, and I'm not much of a strip club kind of guy, but this has to be the ultimate spot for a road trip layover. Just bring some extra cash, you might be tempted to blow your whole budget in there!!

BTW, I drove up from SF last year, then flew this year, so I can compare. It was kind of a wash. Flying is faster, so that's the way to go if you don't have much time, but it was more expensive (esp with a car rental to get around up there), and when you drive it's easier to bring what you need. Plus when you fly you miss the Acropolis.

who wants to set up a road trip to the acropolis?

Roasted · Jun 24, 2004

Hahaha....ok I will keep an eye out

mobius · Jun 24, 2004

Roasted how far is pemberton from whistler? Is it good riding or any other local trails better? The riding in dropin looked real nice and me and a few of our group i know won't be riding the bike park everyday.

[EDIT:] Woop also, Intense 909 or Kenda Nevegal?

Roasted · Jun 24, 2004

I like the nevegal. But I don't have experience with the other. Pemberton riding is different than whistler. Haven't been there but the trails are longer and steeper than our valley trails.

The nice thing about this corridor is the different in riding. If you are up for a road trip hit Squamish, Whistler mountain and pemberton (30-45min I think btw). 3 different terrains and riding.

If you want lots of info on pemberton, pm shootr, he lives there
