Do you guys remember this thread (http://bb.nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=92412&highlight=year+itch) that I started a while ago? I can't remember if people figured it out or not but Jonny.Zee, last years Ripper Queen (scroll way down to the last pic/caption) (http://www.nsmb.com/community/triplecrown2_07_06.php), is moving back to Toronto for <an undetermined period> for family and personal reasons. The shore is definitely losing a valuable community member!

This was his reaction upon hearing that he has to move away:

Yep! Stunned!

Anyways, let's have a send-off for Jon at North Shore Bike Shop (http://www.northshorebikeshop.com/5.html) on Thursday, May 17 from 7:30 pm to whenever.

Also, I'm going to be presenting Jeremy Power his NEW BIKE at this party! Going to really work hard on getting everything together early next week so this can happen! Jeremy, make sure you put this one in your calendar. Also, I would very much like all the contributors to be present so we can thank you all individually!

In addition, this can serve as a North Shore Bike Shop Grand Opening for those who have not checked out the shop yet, this will be a great opportunity to do so.

EVERYONE is invited! To my dear competitors, please attend! This is not a business function - it is social - and being held here at the shop because my wife and I both work on the shore until 8:30 or 9:00, so to host a party at our house at SFU is just not practical. Plus I've wanted to meet you guys and introduce myself anyways!


DETAILS

WHAT: The party will be a byob potluck - I'll have snacks, pop, and the like, but everyone please bring something consumable and your own booze - we'll have tables set up for the food and lots of standing and mingling room! The Jeremy Power Bike Giveaway will be happening at around 8:30 pm. The great thing about a Potluck is that no matter how many people attend, there will be enough (but not too much) food and beverage for everyone!

WHERE: North Shore Bike Shop, 134 16th St W, North Vancouver

WHEN: Thursday May 17,7:30 pm and onwards

WHO: Everyone! It doesn't matter if you like the shop or don't! Come out and thank Jeremy for his contributions to the shore and say bye to Jonny.Zee!

WHY: for PARTYING! To say bye to a good friend, to welcome back (to riding) a good friend, to check out North Shore Bike Shop, to celebrate the return of the good weather, so many reasons to come out and party!

HOW: however you can! 16th is covered in free parking with tonnes of spaces on weekday evenings, HUGE covered patio and lots of store space (Standing room mostly)


Further bulletins as events warrant...

So sad to hear.


Ill always think fondly of the first time I met Johnee. 18 inches of powder on baker ................... and raining to the top. one slushy run and we called it a day. Also fun times in the whirly bird.

Ill try to be there.

You'll have to change your name to Jay Z. when you get here. It's urban in T Dot.

If you haven't guessed, I was transplanted to Toronto too. Grew up in Van all my life. Moved to Ottawa in 2003 (where the riding scene is incredible - rivals the Shore easily) and now I'm in Toronto (for love).

Jay Z. if you want to go for a ride in Toronto, fire me an email anytime: axl@asilvertouch.com. There is lots of fun riding to be had here.

Looks like there will be some door/draw prizes. I'll think of some fun way to give them away. Will update tomorrow...

I'll try to delay my drive home and cruze by for a farewell drink.

Looking forward to seeing the new shop.

Matt, It is great you have found the time, with start up of the new business, to organize the bike for Jeremy!

Ya, I was in picking up some seat posts today and I almost took it when Matt's back was turned but it was too small for me. Love the colour!!

Good times last night.
Matt, did you make sure that Dan left, he was camoflaged pretty good with the back wall and was eyeing up the bikes, he is kind of shifty too :)

Thanks for Hosting Matt.
