Anyone Going to Cross Provincials???

[flav]

Its on Sunday November 3rd at Albion Hills which isnt too far from here. Im not planning on racing but im down to go and be a rowdy cross spectator.

If anyone is intending on going and wants some company in there car post up and we`ll arrange something.

[andrewm]

I'm down. Will you bring the Bacon or shall I?

[Leslie]

I've never been, so I think this would be an awesome time!
I'm up for it if there's more room!!

[flav]

Bacon is on me! Now that I think about it, it would be fun to watch the race then do a ride there as the trails are raaaaaaaaaad.

Ride Albion? I'm in!

[gillianhairys]

I'd be down to go if there's room! My boyfriend will be here so ill have a ride there (and someone else could come too), except that he's not coming back to Guelph after, so myself and anyone else in the car would need a ride back in another car... completely unhelpful i realize  

[flav]

We`ll jut throw you on the roof Gillian But for realz, if anyone else wants to partake in this rad adventure and has a vehicle we could really use it!

So far we have Mcwynne driving there and back and he has room for 3 bikes and 4 ppl...(me, Mcwynne, leslie and ralitza so far)

[inara]

You guys have a time in mind? I was thinking about going out for a ride that afternoon. It would be great to have some company (and finally go for my first UGC ride of the season .... better late than never!!). Unfortunately I don't help the driving situation much since I'll be coming in from Orangeville...

oh also if there's an interest we can stop at my place after for a hottub or sauna, get the chill out of everyone's bones

[Laura Biancolin]

Hey so i can come! with the mini van if needed so that fits about 4P 4B

[Leslie]

So, I think it's in the best interest of the group to take you up on your offer, Inara! lol, that sounds rad!

[Ralitza]

Yay Laura!!
And Inara, I don't know you but I already like you haha
that sounds amazing.

Hahaha! Rookie party was apparently a success.... you've already met me at least twice, but were perhaps too in the cabbage to remember? lol
(*edit* whoa the forum automatically changes bad words now?? man do i wish we had that a couple years ago... would have prevented a rather embarrassing ice cream machine incident and I could have looked my TA in the eye for the rest of the semester lol)


Anyone have an idea of a departure time? And if the ride is happening before or after the heckling of the racers? I've got a couple horses to ride tomorrow as well so I need a plan so I can fit everything in and so I don't have to go straight to the barn after and disappoint some ladies here..... I mean you're welcome to jump in the hottub without me but you'll have to brave your way past my cat..... the dogs won't be a problem in comparison....

[gillianhairys]

I now have a ride both ways, and could potentially take one other person depending on what time everyone's planning to leave

[caitlinlouise]

Hey guys, I've never been to Albion before - is there room for 1p/1b with anyone? What time are you leaving?

[flav]

OK so looks like we have some interest in this ride. Inara, we will be riding after the 1pm race hopefully we can be on the trail around 2:30.

Your offer is very tempting, but if word hasnt gotten around yet, the Guelph boys have had some adventures this weekend! (particularly in kingston) I think Mcwynne needs to get back at a reasonable time tomorrow to study for a midterm so we will play it by ear.

[flav]

As for rides heres what I can see so far. We will be leaving at 11am tomorrow to be there for noon. Can everyone meet at the Second Cup parking lot at 10:45am and we`ll organize from there?

Cars: 10p 10b
Mcwynne 4p 4b
Laura 4p 4b
Gillian Car 2p 2b depending on departure

Riders: 7p 7b
Myself 1p 1b
Mcwynne 1p 1b
Ralitza 1p 1b
Leslie 1p 1b
Caitlin 1p 1b
Gillian 1p 1b
Laura 1p 1b

[inara]

sounds perfect, I might not make it to watch the race so if you guys start riding before then it would be great if someone could shoot me a text (five19-8three1-3five80) and I'll meet up with you wherever you are in the park

[adrianchao]

Hey, I might see you guys there! A friend of a friend is racing on Sunday. Mind if I join in on the mountain biking?

I'll be getting off in and riding from Bolton. Would it be possible to grab me on the way up?

EDIT: Nevermind, the Bolton bus doesn't run at all on the weekends. I'll be going back to my original plans of staying at home, eating chocolate and watching movies.

[caitlinlouise]

Hey Inara - I'm a half decent experienced horseback rider (15+ years of hunter/jumper & dressage, but irregularly for the last 5), if you happen to need any help exercising, although if they don't belong to you, I assume they're expecting you to be the one doing it and not some person you've never seen ride! Figured I'd throw it out there!

[allison]

Hey! Can I still go to this? 1p1b?

[allison]

Hey! Can I still go to this? 1p1b?

[flav]

Allison, show up tomorrow morning at 10:45 there should be room for you

[allison]

Sweeeet!

[allison]

Actually I think I have way too much shit to get done to be able to come.

[Pete D]

Thanks for the cheers at the CX race today you Guelph people
