Hello All.
It has been a challenge this year to get things done in a timely fashion, after a change in the executive roaster at a time when events would normally be planned for the year already. But we did not want to have a season without Viper fun. So without further adieu we bring you the 2016 schedule. I hope a lot of us can still prioritize some time with great cars and company.
June 18, 2016 EDIT Do to logistics I had to switch this event. Promise we will figure out a way to get an AutoX set up next year. New Event!! Single day road trip. Members meet in Red Deer at Gasoline Alley 8-8:45am. Fueled and ready to depart at 9am. Head out Highway 11 and follow David Thompson Highway all the way to Lake Louise. Lunch break there. Continue on to Banff and through, turning off onto Bow Valley Parkway. Bow Valley to Chochrane where we will head up Highway 22 back to Red Deer. Had a member offer his home up for a BBQ location, if that is still on the table then it will be a BBQ to finish off the day in Red Deer.
The David Thompson Highway is supposed to be very scenic and fun. As well as very empty and..........................lightly patrolled. Should be a great drive with a few photo op spots along the way. Drive time for the route is 6 hours and 53 minutes according to Google. Depending on pace we should be close to a 5pm arrival back in Red Deer.
July 1-4, 2016 Cruise part of the Selkirk Loop. This is supposed to be an amazing and scenic drive. Plan is to start in Calgary for a centralized meeting location in Alberta. Cruise to Waterton National Park where we can hopefully find a nice photo op spot. Carry on to Kalispell, Montana where we spend the night. I have 5 rooms under my name at Americas Best Value Inn in Kalispell for July 1. First come first serve on those, so RSVP to me ASAP if you would like one of them. 2 queen bed rooms was all that was available. Cost is $176.61CAD for the night, taxes and fees included.
July 2. Cars fuelled and ready to depart around 8-9am. Cruise from Kalispell to Spokane. Once again I have 5 rooms at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Spokane. 12415E Mission Ave. All King rooms. $199.42CAD cost for the night.
July 3. Cars fuelled and ready to depart around 8-9am. Cruise from Spokane to Kelowna, BC. 5 rooms at the Super 8 in West Kelowna. 1655 Westgate Rd. Rooms are 2 queen bed again. $175.14CAD plus tax
If any BC members head up to start off with us in Calgary that would be lovely, and for those that do your trip will end in Kelowna if you choose. Anyone from Alberta will carry on to Calgary on July 4. Nothing organized for that day, feel free to leave and cruise at your own leisure. But if anyone wants to travel back as a group through the beautiful mountains I'm sure a few of us will be more than happy to.
Dinner plans will announce on the trip. RSVP's would be great so we can figure out roughly what we need for reservations.
August 12-14, 2016. Revelstoke, BC. Everyone can meet in Revelstoke. Nice halfway point for both east and west members. Should be meeting earlier in the day on Friday. Some plans and attractions we can hit over the weekend;
-Great Cedars Boardwalk
-Drive to Nakusp for lunch
-Drive to Sicamous for lunch. There is a nice little ice cream shop on the main drag we can invade.
-Gondola ride
-Meadows in the Sky Parkway Cruise
Bring cameras for this event!!
5 rooms reserved for this as well for both nights. First come first serve again. $159+tax. 2 Queen beds
This is a first time for me planning any sort of events. So constructive criticism is always welcome if you would like to contact me directly. My door is always open. This is going to be the first of what I hope will be many great Viper summers that get better each year. I want to apologize for the lateness of these plans, I really had no intention to take this task on this year. So if it sucks royally this year, just remember, it can only get better!! ��
