Memorial Day (USA) is May 26 and Canada Day is Tuesday, July 1. As noted in the Winnipeg Road Meet thread, a few of us will be in Des Moines June 11-13. Place your votes now!

I voted for the later days to ensure separation from other long trips, because I would love to attend this.

Voted for earlier due to possible conflict with the Springfield, IL meet.

Either is fine with me, but June 21 would be my 27th birthday. I would either need to ride with someone or get a plane ticket, though.

And you're up in the Montreal area?  Although I'm driving out to Winnipeg for this, can't swing up there on my way out or back.

I'm in the Québec City area, so I'm a bit more out of the way.

300 km is a bit, yes.

Anyways, I could realistically take VIA Rail up to downtown Montréal if needed.

I meant to note that Fathers Day is June 15, which I'm sure is an impact on June 14 attempting to win this. (I had noted it for a company baseball outing, but missed it here. My apologies.) Keeping an eye but right now we've got two dates fighting for the lead. So get out and vote!

June 7th is currently winning. Anyone else?

Hearing none - June 7th wins. My goal is to at least get a lunch place and a route set, and then transfer this to someone definitely attending to make sure it runs smoothly. I do not think it will be a large group, so I would expect a normal lunch table size (say 6 people) without a reservation.
