[Phoenix Rider]

Drinking coffee out of my Q107 cup, sweetened with Maple syrup from Granby, QC. Having fun watching Olympic Hockey. End of 2nd period. I see Price making a few incredible saves (he sure can jump for a big guy). Lunquist seems busy. I see why Crosby is called the best player in the world.
Spring is here in GA. Rode yesterday, temps in high 60s. Some Green grass, a few blooming jonquils and early tree blossoms. I will ride again today, but not before this game is over. Exciting! Those Canadians are moving and banging like they are all full of Maple Syrup. The anouncers have good eyes and name recall, following (even anticipating); impressive to me.

Cheer! Go Canada1 (ride later)

Thanks Brent. Proud moment for all Canadians. Go easy on that Maple Syrup Brother. Your stock must be getting low. You don't want to run out.

April fools room rented

No joke. I plan to be there, arriving on the 26th, leaving on the 30th. May trailer in depending on extended weather forecast. Swinging back through Chicago to see my sister and then up into central Wisconsin to see my mother before heading back to western Colorado. Stopping in South Bend, Indiana, on the way out to visit my son. I expect the entire trip will be 5-6K miles.

Thanks for booking Jerry. I look forward to meeting you. If you do decide to trailer you bike, there is plenty of space to store your trailer too.

Hi Jerry,
If there is a trailer involved I hope it is the little one you pull behind the bike Either way it will be good to see you.
In planning your route try to avoid crossing Toronto in rush hour or Fridays
which can be both frustratingly slow and nerve wracking.

Route Plan

Hi Phil since I have had this pat year off with rotator cuff surgery both shoulders I had lots of time to plan the routes which have been planed for months now(I have been back to work for the last 2 weeks) I have what I call computer riding them lets me see gas stops and road conditions just waiting for the snow to leave and have a little nicer weather to actually go test run them.Resturants are picked waiting for people to sign on so I can call them with a head count and what time we should be there for Lunch also stop at them when the route test ride is done. WILL POST THEM AFTER THAT.As of today 9 rooms booked with a head count of 18 as far as T-shirts the only person to purchase one is EARLg if sales do not pick up I will cancel t-shirts and caps for this year.

I hope this is enough update for you Looking forward to seeing everyone at this years rally.

[Jerry]

far as T-shirts the only person to purchase one is EARLg

Canadian Visitor Medical Insurance

I put this on the calendar Wayne, but may be headed out West again around that time.
Will need to split a room, but can't yet commit. What a predicament!

Also, there is a problem of no health insurance coverage at the moment for Canada. What do folks here do if they have that problem? I like getting north a few times a year and this is a big problem.

I just booked some medical insurance with CAA for the XS South East rally at Iron Horse. They told me that visitors to Canada can purchase medical coverage from them for about $10 per day. it provides $150,000.00 in coverage in each of several catagories.
The web site is www.caasco.com/caatravelinsurance look for "Visitor To Canada" and supply your birthdate and what dates you will be in Canada.
you can buy the insurance right on the site.
