COC - Edworthy to Chestermere Return (Slow Pace - 16km/hour avg) We set off for a fantastic day with high spirits and great weather conditions and we were not disappointed. We soon split into a fast group with Lori taking charge (thanks Lori!). We had equal numbers - 6 in the fast group, and 6 in my group. The fast group did wait for us at several junctions, but we got our wires crossed going into Ogden and ended up with my pokey group going around the fast group as they waited for us in a spot that we never passed. So we got to wait for them at Glenmore Inn before we all met up again. The second leg of our journey out, from Glenmore Inn to Chestermere, saw us with a flat tire needing to be changed in the pokey group, so by the time we made it to Chestermere, four of the fast group were ready to head back into town. We bid them adieu and then continued into Chestermere to the little park to enjoy our lunch. After lunch we meandered back to town, climbing a few "wind hills" as we went. Four more split off again, leaving just Brent, Lynn, Mike and I in the "official" group (ie. the one with the coordinator in it), and woe to the others because we stopped for a lemonade break with lemonade provided by a couple of young trail-side entrepreneurs, and at The Barley Mill in Eau Claire for a beer on the patio. A few more "wind hills" greeted us on our last few kms back to Edworthy, but we felt great and happy to have done the trip! Thanks to all who came out, to Lori for helping with route selection and fast group, and to Robin for managing the radio communication on the fast group end for the first half of the trip. -- Rhonda |

CCC - "Politically Incorrect Two" Themed Music Appreciation Night
YAY!! It's back... the second annual Politically Incorrect Themed MAN. Woohoo!! Arrive anytime from 6:30PM for introductions and to get settled in. I plan to begin by 7:00 pm. We should have two CDs of approximately 80 minutes of music each (12 people times 12 minutes of music). We will have a round-robin for each person to introduce their music and then we’ll listen. The atmosphere will be casual and there will be a "formal" break between CDs. Politically Incorrect Music is music with "politically incorrect" content by virtue of either the language used or the subject matter. We'll be sitting or laying around the living room while we listen. Bring a pillow or cushion for maximum comfiness if you like to lay on the floor. Everyone must contribute 8-12 minutes of music for the evening. This evening's theme is Politically Incorrect Music and for "this" MAN you must submit music that fits your interpretation of this theme. Since this is a POLITICALLY INCORRECT music night, please DO NOT register for it if you are easily offended! There is a kitty who helps me host this event. If you have allergies, this may not be the event for you. |
