So the cancelling on AutoUnion will not keep us down! Every year we as a club organize an event for charity. So what things do we like to do?? Being a car club, cruising in our cars through the gorgeous Rocky Mountains seems like a perfect fit. Couple the cruising and mountains with Pubs, beer, german food, etc... and we have a complete set of prerequisites to the making of an epic weekend!!
We will meet up Saturday August 9th at 9 in the morning. Drivers meeting at 10AM at the south parking lot of McMahon Stadium off University Drive. We will take Highway 1A to Canmore, switch over to Highway 1 then Bow Valley Parkway to Highway 93 all the way to Radium. I would like to maybe plan a a dinner at the German Restaurant there and then go over to a pub or pubs, depending on the amount of people we get. Everyone will have to handle their own accommodations for the night to sleep off the festivities. Next day everyone heads back to their respective homes.
This is a charity event, not sure which one at this time. Previous years we've supported the Central Alberta chapter of Ronald McDonald Foundation. I am open to changing it up to other charities, ones for kids hopefully
The idea would be to have a three different tiers for donations:
$10 to do the cruise
$20 cruise and sticker
$30 cruise, sticker and shirt
Since this is a cruise for charity I have no issues at all with non europeans coming along but the cruise would be a just that, a cruise, not a race. I did the Leavenworth Cruise in 2013 and they had well over 1000 cars driving out to Leavenworth. Stopped on the side of the road I saw three separate accidents, so don't drive like idiots! I cannot stress this enough, the routes we will be taking are for sightseeing and enjoying the mountains, depending on the amount of cars we get to sign up this could be an epic trip for everyone involved.
