I am coming to Calgary tonight May 18, I should be checking in to the hotel by 8-9 PM. If any of you Calgary guys want to meet up and go for a coffee I will be staying at the Best Western Village Park Inn off of 16th & Crowchild by the Foothills Hospital.

Hotel Phone# is 289-0241 and ask for John Savignac

Welcome to Calgary John!

Are you in Calgary just for the 1 night?

Mike.

I have to attend the MS Clinic at the Footills Hospital. Yes I'm only in town for one night. I am taking part in a trial for a new drug (I'm a guinee pig). I have be in Calgary at least twice per month for the trial. I've been there a few times but this my second while on the bike so I figured why not meet up.

Give the hotel a call if any of you are up to coffee tonight and we'll meet up.

Best of luck to you in the trail. What could the new drug do for you?

I will see what I can do as I'm on the very opposite side of the city from your hotel and you get in so late. But at the very least I will give you a call at your hotel and say Hi.

Mike.

I have what they call "Primary Progressive MS" and what they are hoping this drug will do is halt or at the least slow the progression as much as possible.

I will be leaving Bow Island ( 1/2 hr out of Medicine Hat ) at about 4pm and it is a 350 km trip so I will try not to stop to often for breaks. I may arrive as soon as 7:30ish. I will use the computer in the lobby as soon as I get in and post it here.

Hi John,

We hope you are just late getting into Calgary as it is 9pm and you are still not at your hotel.

We were (Sunshine229 and I) going to come on by and pay you a visit, wish you well and welcome you, but unfortunately, you are not there yet. We do hope everything is fine and wish you the best tomorrow.

You are such a great guy, it was great talking to you on the phone. Sorry we all couldn't meet up this time, but I hear you are coming back to Calgary again...

Great to hear that you are still riding regardless! Way to go.

Best wishes and good luck tomorrow, I hope it all goes well.

Mike

Thanks guys, I got to the hotel shortly after 9 pm cuz the wife was late getting home and didn't leave home till 5:30. And would you believe it murphy's law struck again, the computer in the lobby was down so I could not even post that I arrived. It was good to talk to you mike ( the creator of this wonderful site) and I will make every effort to get into Calgary early next time to meet you all. My next appt. is on June 29 and I will post another thread with more notice before I go.

As for the ride..... getting to Calgary was a great ride and my radar saved my butt a couple times but getting home today was just nasty. 60km side winds all the way home and it really really sucked (radar not needed 100kph

. I found a nice little pocket behind a rig till he turned

. But all is well.

Talk to you all soon
