been awhile since this was up top , so heres an update for you lucky sods that are going .
Thank you for getting the word out to the Packs for the upcoming Kootenay Raid. I would appreciate it if you could send an update and a reminder out to the Packs and Hinckley Triumph owners. We are currently working on an 8.5†x 11†Poster which can be printed off and posted in the shops.
Also, thank you to those who have registered to date. The response has been good.
You will notice, on the Itinerary attached, that the Poker Run and Show ‘n Shine have been added to the list.
The Poker Run will cover about 300Km and will take in some mighty fine roads and scenery with ample time to take in the sites and have lunch.
The Show ‘n Shine will take place later on Saturday afternoon to allow the Poker Run Participants to join in on the Show ‘n Shine. The Classes will be: Best Trumpet Overall; Best Classic; Best Cruiser; Best Urban Sport; and Best Sport Tourer.
