I think we can all kind of play by ear once we leave or the night before. End goal is get a good ride in, great scenery, and accommodate all parties as much as possible. Can't make everyone fully happy but finding a happy medium that is a good compromise for all.

 

Well, if we end up going from Ludington on the SS Badger we would be in Manitowoc area right around noon CT. Not sure where that would put you guys for a meet up location, but if we end up staying the night closer to the ferry instead of leaving the house at 5am, I'd definitely like to stay near Ludington vs. Muskegon (unless we stay at my wife's brothers' place in Grand Rapids). Still in the air and lots of time to figure it out, but it would be nice to ride in with a couple others.

 

Sly,
Thanks for all your efforts. This should be a great ride with some great guys that we all finally get to put name to face. I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks again.

 

id have no problem meeting you in manitowoc at noon

 

Then about 170 or so miles to near me and we head south. Or we can meet up south someplace. I agree with riding in together even if it takes a little flexibility.

Thanks T for putting all this together and everyone for offering routes. Looking forward to going with the flow. The less planning the better IMO

 

Thanks Sly
We have talked about this a few times I'm the past.
I'm glad the reality is finally becoming a reality. It is going to nice to meet up with a few members from here that I have meet already and to meet MORE members.
The response has been overwhelming to this meet up.
I hope that Savana is ready for this group because it looks like it is going to be one hell of a GOOD TIME.

If there is anyone going that is from the southwest area of Chicago or coming thru that area let me know and we can find a meeting spot and ride together.

 

T ???? LOL
Nice to put traction to a idea. Expect a great time and nice riding to be had by all. Hopefully we do not get ran out of town before we can spend the night LOL

 

One of my three options is staying the night somewhere near the Michigan/Indiana/Illinois border and then head over to Savanna. If we do that we plan to ride over to Holland, MI and then ride the coast down to wherever we call home for the night. From there we would head south from Michigan City, pick up 30 to avoid Chicago (either way we will be heading home this way). There is also a chance of heading west from Milwaukee if we take the ferry from Muskegon, not sure how far off that would be from you.


Going to make a decision here in the next few weeks.
