AB Banff cruise June 30th 2013

myself and a few other car guys in Calgary are planning a Banff cruise on June 30th.

the plan is to drive out there via highway 22/40/742 its a nice canyon road the drive time is ~2.5-3 hours depending on conditions.

the plan thus far is
meet at Sobeys McKenzie Town 10:30 am
depart for banff 11:00 am
arrive in Banff ~2:00pm

grab lunch, shop, w/e then head back (i dont expect a big convoy going back but im sure you can find someone else heading back at the same time)

I dont think I've met anyone on this forum yet, but I'm certainly interested to and to get to know some good twisty roads.

im going to push the event back a month or so, the route was through longview ect the roads are pretty bad there and ive heard that even in the mountains there are a lot of mudslides and stuff from the rain, no need to risk it for a drive.

Oops, missed that this was being pushed back. Will probably be on vacation then, but couldn't have gone this weekend anyway, since I'm a little tapped due to not getting paid (employer still shut down due to flood damage).

Wow, this is really tempting to join if you guys go. I was hoping for a drive out to Banff next summer... but time permitting I might join you guys! Although, I'll be going to Japan for most of August. If you guys go next year, count me in!
