Yeah I was wondering about the other riders thing too since I have a friend with a bandit that lives right in the middle of that area.

Hey,

Thanks for initiating this event.

Something in the Lansing area on Aug 12 might be cool--especially in that area's more rural sections.  I like the various parameters you listed. They seem reasonable.

Hope we can firm something up.

July 29th looks like it works for two of us...anybody else?

It's sounding like July 29th is gaining favor.  The 30th would also be good.  Hate to lock anybody out, especially AJ -- maybe the July29th weekend works for you too?  If not, maybe we do it again on Labor Day weekend -- I mean the hard work of root planning seems done and if the roads are great, I'll all for a Do-Over.

Meeting in Mason was my first guess (we had to start somewhere), but we can meet at any of the corner locations and still ride the circuit.  If Mason has a Meijer then it should be easy to spot -- those places are huge -- and they typically have a coffee shop that we can gather at.  Someone can look up the exit off of 127?

As for other bikes, sure, bring'em on.  We shouldn't discriminate.

The exit for the meijers in Mason is Kipp Rd. I don't think that it has an exit number. If you're coming from the north turn left off the exit and it's on the other side of the overpass on your right.

July 29th and the 30th are out for me.... I have to work.  But go rigt ahoead with this date if it is when the most people can participate.  I've been working this job long enough that I miss out on a lot of things, so I am used to it.

Hey, then keep the Labor Day weekend open, AJ.  If we do July 29th and like the roads, we'll plan for another even that fits your schedule.  Maybe even a third in Late September or Early October -- a Fall Colours ride. 

im excited that more then just a 2 person ride is evolving into somthing cool...

abronco1 needs to get his but in here...havent seen him in a while in fact he was the one that went for our two bike meet...lol

just tell me what day and time.    see y'all

Ok I know there are more ppl from MI here...anybody else interested in going?

Okay folks -- get the word out.

Here's what we have so far:

WHEN: Saturday, July 29th, meeting at 10:00 am.  (Plan your departure time accordingly.)

WHERE: Meijer Superstore, Cafe area, 550 Hull Rd, Mason, south-east off of the East Kipp Road exit of US127.

ROUTE: See Proposal in Reply #16 of this thread.

If it is an obvious bad weather day, we call it off by 8:00 am Eastern Time by posting in this thread.  Would have to be solid rain predicted for the area for the morning.  If the prediction is for Isolated Thunderstorms, we attempt to meet and if the weather goes bad by or after, we decide at Meijer's whether to go or not.  If it gets bad during the route, hey, that's motorcycling...

Okay, who's in for this arrangement? 

1) Sarah (st8racin)

ok im in,lets ride.

for those that cant follow instructions

1. Str8racin (Sarah)
2. Denman

Thanks AJ.  Sorry you can't make this trip (next one for sure).  You seems to have a natural tendency to force order.  I may not be able to manage this crowd on my own.

I would prefer that if we have a ride on Labor Day weekend it be on Sunday.  I work nights so Saturday would be near impossible to make unless I switched work days with someone.

Sunday?  I think we can arrange that.   

RVert...I'm not really in that area but I think Silverback is pretty close so he might be able to help you out.

1) Sarah (st8racin)
2) Rusty (my friend with a bandit 600, if he doesn't have to work)
3) Denman
