my route, to edmonton after jasper then down to calgary is 1,100 kms dead on. google says 13.5 hrs no stopping

 

I think there's a road that connects Jasper to red deer. It might be quicker to take that back?

 

it is the same distance exactly from jasper to red deer, as it is to calgary. but you are right, hwy 11 goes from in between jasper and banff to red deer. it would be faster for the calgary guys to go from jasper to banff, to calgary and for the edmonton guys to go from jasper to edmonton. it looks like the faster way home from jasper for anyone is to head directly to your respective city.

 

i only been in that area once and i cant remember, but is jasper before or after banff?

 

iirc jasper is like 265ish km north of banff..? and there is no gas stations in between them lol. they arent really before or after each other. i think the turn off is around the lake louise area and it goes direct to jasper.

 

jasper is north of banff so i would say after...

I won't be able to make this cruise, as I have a lacrosse game that afternoon, too bad. Would be nice, although I am goin to Golden may 27-29 for a bach party.. Gonna be crazy

 

**** golden dude. hit up white fish. u wont regret it.

 

**** your lacrosse game its one of many. there is only going to be one cruise. skip the lacrosse and show some loyalty to the club please. (learning about non-nationalist loyalties in social right now lol)

but jasper is 289 kms north of banff. the only town in between i believe is lake louise. it is 60 kms from banff. so there would be a 230 kms stretch of no gas bars.

 

skippin lax... not my style lol

We are goin to golden for a camping/whitewater rafting trip.. should be alright, a bunch of my buddies have gone to whitefish to snowboard over new years, but i havent gone, gf doesnt do that sorta thing and well, cant exactly leave her for new years... Wouldnt be the smartest lol

Sorry for the threadjack there mark... mentioned i was goin to golden a couple weeks later just cause maybe i can get a few decent pics in then...

 

Well if i bring my bike, thats really pushing it, i have a 5L gas can that i can fill up and put in someones car if i get to low before we hit banff/lake louise

 

that would work.

 

i dont really care man!!!!!

 

any reason why this was planned for a sunday and not a saturday? Just wondering cuz i never even thought about work on that monday. If i go up saturday and crash at someones place for the cruise on sunday, thats all fine and dandy, but cruising around sunday and then still gotta make the 400km ride back to edmonton is going to be a killer, not to mention ill have PT at 8am monday morning which is usally a 10km run...lol.

 

coz i work sat.... is a start...

 

ah, cool

 

I am tottaly in !!!

 

what day? and how will we all communicate? if one of us gets pulled over?

Im sure the RCs will be like wtf.... and start pulling randoms over!

with there be a car count and every couple of hours will meet at a gas station or landmark to recount?

 

as long as no one acts like a retard, there shouldnt be any reason why the cops would pull anyone over.

 

We use walkie talkies to talk we have done it before on other big cruises it works good!!

AND IM IN 4 SURE!!!!

 

jody ill come by future shop or give u a call when the time gets near and make plans to get up there.

 

I can carry gasoline if you'd like SRT-10. I'll strap it down in the trunk. I'm also picking up one of those "Go-hero" HD cameras that stick to the side of your car and stuff, so hopefully get some good videos.

Joel

 

^^ go-pro? i would carry gas too if need be. i can carry anything anyone else cant. ill probably only have food, and drinks

 

its a sick ass little video camera. HD and best thing... NO WIND NOISE!!!!! in your videos. comes with numerous mounts so u can suction cup it to your car or attach it to your head rest. and its only a couple hundred bucks.

joel check kijiji theres soooo many for sale on there.

 

Don't forget waterproof and widescreen .

I'll e-mail a few people on there. I think it would be really neat to have though. I want it for the track too.

Joel

 

track would be cool
