I would strongly suggest the Vancouver group meet somewhere in Coquitlam and then drive out to Maple Ridge Value Village. In the past the Valley group has driven out to the Value Village parking lot on Dewdney Trunk or near it(someone who lives closer to there should confirm this). I have pictures of a part of the group there from 2 years ago, if anyone needs them to confirm its the right one. We then meet up with the bigger pack from Van etc and then the whole gaggle of us drives out the back way to Mission. That is a nice part of the trip and shouldn't be missed. Over a dam, lots of twisty roads, nice stuff.
It may be on Hiway 7 NEAR Dewdney Trunk, but I am not sure. I don't lead that part hehe.
Chevron at McCallum as a valley starting point is great, 8:30, good time.
Also, try to be there BY 8:30, we can wait a bit but if we say we will wait, it ends up being like an hour and a half at each meeting place and we do more standing around than actual driving. It gets a bit tedious, so try to be on time if at all possible.
Now, I would suggest maybe that the trip for us to go to the Value Village in Maple Ridge will take us about 45m in or so, so maybe those leaving from Coquitlam can leave a bit later? Thier drive may only take 15min to half an hour, depending on the route and traffic etc.
