I was born and raised at Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Canada. I am now living in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. It would be really awesome to find some other clockers within a reasonable distance and get together for some OC sessions. The nearest, I think, I've seen sofar would be about 20 hr drive from here.:blink:

Nice. Punx you are kinda lucky. You have so many benchers within driving distance. I know they might not be super close, but still. Damn I wish somebody else around here benched. Since we all belong to more than one forum. Does anybody have a buddy located in NC?

It only seems more expensive because of the exchange rate. If I convert CAN$ to US$ the prices are comparable.
