I've got that July weekend marked in my schedule, but it depends on what's happening at work. I don't get to pick my times off like the staff can. I need to work for someone else for a while.

I poke into southeastern BC fairly often - good riding! The stretch from Creston to Crawford Bay ferry and on through to Kaslo is considered among the best in the province.
Sorry all for hijacking your thread. I also look forward to perhaps a cheaper way of going to a belt.
