If we're not going to get going in Brandon until just before noon, I will probably just drive out Sunday morning!
Those are Saturday times, I'm sure that the sunday time in the morning

I was just going by what was posted on the WORE site. I'm fine with earlier as well.

The 9 o clock departure from Winnipeg should be good. We will be shooting for rolling out of Brandon and heading west for noon exactly. Usually never happens right on the dot but we will see what happens. Wont take us too long to get out there, air down and start wheeling. With WOT and the evening trail it will be a good day of wheeling.
And these meet up times are for Saturday only. Come Sunday we wont be as lazy as we were the beginning of July. I am thinking for Sunday we should have a 9 meet up time that way we can get started shortly after and do the trails. How does that sound?

Hey Bob, what time do you figure you will be heading to Brandon Saturday? Depending on the time, you will be able to hook up with us when we are on the trail in the evening. Just a thought.......

Yeah that is all correct. We will most likely be done wheeling by the time you get to Brandon. Chances are though we will still be up when you are coming into Brandon though, so if you wanted to we could still meet up. We will have to see once the time comes.
