8 TH Annual Cruise Michigan (gap year) Event - Saturday October 11 th

[TCEd]

All,
As most of you know due to career training and a move @Ocho77 could not host this years gathering but we need to keep this annual event going so I'm putting this out for everyone to consider.

1. We could do a get together in the Grand Rapids area similar to what was done back in April at Archival Brewery. Meet at a brewery in the afternoon, food & beverages along with cruiser talk. Simple, easy just show up.

2. Meet somewhere in the Baldwin/Big Rapids/Cadillac area and do some two track driving followed by a bar/brewery meetup. I would need help with finding a route for the two track driving. Should be fall color season.

Thoughts ?
Ed

I like the idea of the two tracking, but I don’t know which hunting season are on at specific times.

I have the 4-5th booked for me as well.

I am tied up with a wedding on the 11th sadly.

I would be down to do some 2 tracks up north Ed!

Thanks for putting something together Ed! Unfortunately we'll be traveling then, so can't make it. Hope to see everyone at the next one.

 

[Ocho77]

Ed, thanks for putting this out there. I think we are able to make that date in October. We could also meet up in Traverse City, if that's easier for anyone/everyone. We will be moving to Alpena, so Cadillac is fine as well.
Looking forward to whoever can make it!

Some years back I met with @ElviMcCoy and a couple others at the M-72 trailhead near Bear Lake to run two tracks and ended the day near Camp Grayling. We got a lot of good miles in.

That sounds perfect!

That ride was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I would get away with goofing off the same way if my wife joins me next time.

I'm in! It would be my first year participating. I would be down for either grand rapids or up north, but would love to do a 2 track

Just throwing this out there, the Evart trail system has some gnarly stuff on it for the LP, and is pretty densely spaced making it a lot of fun in a small area.

Downside is you're gonna get mud and probably pinstripes.

We use it for camping in late fall when we want something close to home.

Heyoooooo! Would love to gather again for Cruise Michigan. But, the 11th, I have a gig in Lake Leelanau from 130-3pm with the Broom Closet boys out of GR. It’s the summer street fest. So unless you do a trail run up here..... I cannot make. I think I saw TCEd the other day?? We tend to get a lot of honks and waves running around in our 40+ y/o daily drivers.

 

[Danger Cruiser]

I would be in for either option

I sold the 40 back in October, just wasn't using it enough. Bought a 100 in February and is constantly in use. Oddly I sold the 40 to a guy in Austin, Tx and also found the 100 there.
