WeSTOC 24 - T-Shirts. Get your T-Shirts! Plus Alberta beer and spirits for every taste.
It's hard to believe that in just 13 short weeks WeSTOC 24 will be history and we will all have great memories of the fantastic Alberta scenery and riding we will have enjoyed with all of our old and new friends.
Don't let WeSTOC memories fade away. Order a T-Shirt as a constant reminder of the wonderful event. Order deadline for T-Shirts is May 22, 2019 at 9 PM PDT. https://westoc.org/gear
DO NOT DRINK AND RIDE!
I also know that some people like to have a beverage when they are out and about - hopefully not until the riding day is over. For those people who want to sample some local beer, wine, or spirits here are a few establishments you may wish to check out. Not all of them are open all the time but if they sound interesting you could contact them and perhaps make arrangements to pay them a visit, buy some products, have lunch, or take a tour. OR, you'll know local products when you see them in a liquor store (in Alberta ALL Beer is sold in Liquor Stores. There are specialty wine and spirit stores as well).
DO NOT DRINK AND RIDE!
NOTE - Canadian Beer ranges from 4% to over 7% Alcohol. You've been warned!
