1st Anual Vancouver FZ6 Meet?

[VEGASRIDER]

Can you believe it that I'm thinking of going? I would like to beat the heat and I'm just trying to figure out an excuse to get out of town. It would be nice if it was more than a day ride, more like a weekend type of event.

Apparantly I have the kidneys of a 75yr old, with about 34% kidney function currently remaining. I have had more Dr. appointments and blood tests done in the last month than in my entire life and they will be continuing all summer/fall long. Combine this with a 6month old, a new job and having to attend several weddings, including being a best man in one of them, my summer "free time" just got chewed up in a hurry.

So I've been having to do a lot of re-adjustments in my life and the relatively simple act of getting away for a weekend ride just isn't really going to fit my current schedule.

I appologise to all involved as it is not my style to bail on things, especially things I start.

I am hoping someone from the mainland can pick up where this left off.

I'm so sorry to hear about your medical issues, mate....these things are unpredictable and (often) inevitable in our lives. It seems nobody gets through this life experience scott-free.
My best wishes to you, Boneman.
I'm scheduled for some serious lower spine surgery at VGH on August 5th, so my summer has gone for a dumper. I was hoping it wouldn't be until September or October, but there we are.
So, I'm also out of the FZ6 ride.....hopefully next year we'll all get to do this again.

Thanks for your well wishes OneTrack and Dennis! Much appreciated. It's an adjustment for me becoming a "patient". I'm not used to being the one needing assistance and support...more used to being the one giving it. I'm positive though and this is just my 'sack of hammers' that I got saddled with to carry around for the rest of my life. The way I look at it, there are a heck of a lot of people out there who have to endue 100x's more hardship than I do just to get through each day. So I'm still pretty darn lucky!

Although I have reached the stage in my life were going to the doctor is now not as 'care free' as it used to be and there is now always the fear of more 'bad news'. Always figured that would start around age 65.....

Who knows, if things go well with this meet, perhaps a little one in the fall? If not, I will be at next years for sure! Might even try an Island meet!!

Me and a buddy were thinkin' of takin a ride up towards Whistler/Pemberton on Sunday the 30th weather permitting. Anyone is welcome to come. Didnt hink this meet was going to happen so I never really made plans for it. Whistler isnt written in stone, but I just rode to Harrison a few weeks ago and was wantin' to go another route. Anyways, hope some of you can make it out for a ride on Sunday. Take care.
