2022 Michigan meetup

[3bs]

team/tribe/dudes and dudettes

so how do you all feel about a Michigan meetup this year? same place as originally proposed (southwest Michigan) pre covid, same routes, same ideas. date yet undecided. I am doing my charity ride early October, my wife's sisters will be here sometime around July 4 so absent directions or restrictions from my wife the calendar looks pretty open.

the old thread:

https://forum.cruzbike.com/threads/...august-6-9-2020-benton-harbor-michigan.13108/


please indicate your interest and preferred month.

@super slim,

I hear you, but my schedule’s mostly filled. I do invite others to join in on the BRAG and the BRAT.

 

[woodguy]

Yes, I remember the planning you did @3bs for a Michigan event, only to have Covid cancel it. I would be interested in coming across from Wisconsin. Looks like the best for me would be August. Hope it comes together.

I live and ride in West Michigan and would be interested depending on the date and route.

Thank you for bringing this back into view. I am absolutely interested. I am unavailable mid-August but available the remainder, though border can always complicate things.

@JOSEPHWEISSERT
Where do you ride?

@JOSEPHWEISSERT
Where do you ride?

Anywhere from south of Holland to Muskegon and east to Grand Rapids. What about you?

 

[castlerobber]

I have a ride scheduled the first Saturday of August, but other than that pretty flexible.

 

[CruzLike]

Still interested.

Now retired. Time is flexible. Though it will cost double because my wife will call her friends and plan her vacation while I'm gone.

I'll follow this thread.

 

[3bs]

okay so i am back.

how about later july? early august? feedback please? coloma KOA still is a good center of action, and we can do a lot of interesting riding in a couple days.

It looks like a meet-up is a bust for this summer unless...
Anyway, Cruzbike writes: "We’re hoping to do it again next year! Our tentative plan for 2023 is to do the Michigan Shorelines West Ride which usually starts the first weekend of August." Save the date! Note this year the tour starts Saturday August 6, (first riding day on Sunday). Expect 2023 to start August 5.

I would be willing to host a one day ride on the Pete Marquette out of Sanford if anyone is interested. We could do a one day or two day overnight on the trail. I am open Sept. 10-11 to do it. Let me know if anyone is interested.
