Calgary Community Breakfast Meeting

[Ekke]

The Calgary community is planning a get together for breakfast Sunday, November 2 in Bragg Creek. Let me know if you can make it out to share travel stories and I'll make a reservation for the right number of people!

Ekke,
Just finished read your Africa travels on your website. Amazing stuff.
Wish I could attend - another time, possibly during the summer.

I'll try to make it, Ekke. However, I just moved to Canmore and I'm starting a new job (with erratic schedule). If I'm not working I'll be there.

[Ekke]

I hope you can make it Jeremy, we haven't seen each other in a while with a bunch of adventures for both of us in between!

I've got 5 to 10 people confirmed or semi-confirmed for breakfast this coming Sunday, November 2, 2008. If you think you can make it out please let me know (reply to this thread or send me a PM) so that I can let Dave's Pizza know how many people to expect. Thanks!

Ekke,

Thanks for setting this up, it was good to see everyone.

I must say, I was a little surprised to find out that Dave's Pizza not in Black Diamond... I was so looking forward to seeing "Dave's Pizza in Black Diamond"....

Anyhow, could have saved a bit of travel actually reading the email which clearly indicated Dave's Pizza is in Bragg Creek.

Look forward to the next meeting, tho I suppose it will likely be snow-covered by then. Sure was a great day for a ride

Hello, I'm new to this site, am located in Regina, Saskatchewan, and would like to chat to like minded travelers, I have recently upgraded to a '08 BMW GSA and would like to make contacts and start finding some western Canada travels for next spring and summer.

Audrey and I really enjoyed the breakfast last weekend. From the feedback of those that attended and those that couldn't make it we should probably do this again.

How frequently would a breakfast get together make sense? Monthly? Every two months? Monthly in the Winter to keep the travel fires burning and skip July & August?

Personally I like Dave's Pizza as a location but what do others think?

Here is a photo of the attendees:

Ekke,
that was a great 1st meeting, we really enjoyed it. The location was good and the company was excellent. Thanks to both you and Audrey for coordinating the event, we look forward to our next meeting,

Great meeting gang! We should do another one in December or January at the same location.

I am also very interested in attending a breakfast meeting if there are more to come. I'm very early in the stages of planning a South America ride and would love to pick the brains of some local riders.Cheers,Andy

Hello everyone, I also think that another breakfast should be done, possibly in the city if everyone is up to it.

[Ekke]

I've chatted with the owners of Dave's Pizza and they would be delighted to have us come for breakfast again.

10:00 a.m., Sunday February 1 at Dave's Pizza in Bragg Creek.

I'll send out a note to the Calgary Community and cc anyone else who might be interested. Please either post on this thread or send me an e-mail if you can make so that I can let the restaurant know the approximate numbers.

Ekke....is this still on? If so, I'll certainly aim to make it down.
