Default Vancouver to Squamish Sea to Sky Hwy drive tomorrow am...

A heads up for Bob's Breakfasta Club Vancouver Squamish drive tomorrow am. We meet at the Caulfield mall parking lot for cafe at 6:00am. Then leave for the run at 6:30. Back for breakfast at the Tomahawk @ 8am. Great people. Great cars. Great drive. Watch out for Chopper 1.

I've enjoyed going on this run a few times when in Vancouver. It is always a spirited drive with wonderful scenery.

Just curious: it has always been on Saturday mornings in the past. Is this a special Sunday run?

Holy cripes. I'm cryin in my soup, jealous, here in Chicago.
Lake Shore Drive is great, but the Sea to Sky...
.... one of the most spectacular, grand drives possible.
Good luck to you all. Enjoy the day in style.

Usually Saturdays but yesterday was a bike race with 8000 bikes up the Sea to Sky. Thus the shift... Can you make it?

I've only done that drive once, before the highway was complete...In a snow storm.
It must be amazing now that it's all highway and free from white stuff.

I will have to show up unannounced after I get the 959. Mark my words...

Can't wait either because I know it will be a rip-snorting jolly-good time.

Is there map of the run?

I'll be up from Seattle to Vancouver in a few weeks to watch the Sounders-Whitecaps match and will be there for the entire weekend (drive up Friday, game Sat Evening, and leave Sunday), so being able to do a good drive would be of interest, but I know nothing about what is where re Vancouver.

You should definitely go if you can. These guys like to drive in a very spirited manner (but not dangerously). It is a lot of fun and a great group of people.
