MI Cruzbike retreat 2020 - August 6-9, 2020 Benton Harbor Michigan

[3bs]

so the last of the non local yeses is subject to border issues, which i do not think will be any different since we are ticking up in reported cases.

i think it is probably time to call it off for this year.

lets hope for better luck next year.

i guess i will have to go to work those weekdays now....

You could just ride whichever of the awesome routes you described while filming so we can virtually retreat.

We could each pull a trailer with a sign that says MI 2020 Cruzbike Retreat - Covid style.

You could ship one of your bikes to the border nearest to each of us. We could pick it up and return home on it. The combined tour would be “YOUR 2020 3bs-bikes Retreat”ing —- or would that be when they returned to your museum er.. garage of wonders.

Shall we book a weekend now?

cue mournful bagpipe music. Fade to narrator stuck in a feedback loop between cancelled Cruzbike retreat events and the use of “unprecedented” an unprecedented redundantly repetitive number of times.

Did I mention Brother is one of my favorite bands?

and currently in the group that is riding with me three guys are riding my bikes LOL

this year has been a mixed bag for sure, but, things have been worse.

the routes will still be here. I will still be here. So will the KOA. So will most of the eateries and watering holes.

Speaking of Wisconsin, First time I saw them was at summer fest Milwaukee.

I’m thinking about y’all. Today I did a nice long solo ride. Wishing for better times.

They on the way, just don't know the delivery date LoL.

Did a morning breakfast ride. Looped up and around paw paw lake. Breakfast in Coloma.

Hopefully next year you guys can come and play

3bs, the MI event may be rescheduled for next year? If so I'll put that in my calendar right now.

Mathew, is the blue "brainbox" on your V20 a Radical Designs model? The seat it's on is not the stock Cruzbike seat, yes?

Thanks!

Yes, I've been using the Solo Aero Narrow for a few months. It's not as convenient as my Arkel TailRider on a rack was, but it's probably much more aerodynamic. I modified the bag by taking off the water bottle holder and sewing in double sided hook-and-pile tape instead of the mesh. It makes it hold much better to the Thor seat. You may also notice I modified tubes (that slide into the stock headrest clamp/holes) to form a support for the bag, lights, & camera.
If you're wondering about the Scosche BoomBottle, it's strapped onto aluminum bolted to the Adem Headrest.

Coincidentally, Facebook reminded me of my fun with the Shoreline West Tour up the west coast of Michigan three years ago. I love that tour.

 

[benphyr]

Missing y’all. Wish we were exhausted from a long weekend of riding with all our bad puns and dad jokes.

 

[3bs]

rescheduled? yes. of course. naturally i would suggest the same location, (enlightened self interest) and as for the date, that is a bit unclear. there is a very long ride several of my friends are planning that if it comes to pass i may try and go. they do not have a date yet, so i don't have a date to avoid yet. but rest assured you all could come here pretty much any weekend from may to November and there is plenty to do and see. if anyone wants to make a small scouting trip this fall, feel free.

 

[3bs]

i just thought i should put these pictures up for you guys to remind you why you all want to come next year to the Michigan ride. the v is my neighbors new bike. thanks to the v20 clearance sale.

Last year I looked forward to this ride. What is the forecast for this year? August is just around the corner.

 

[benphyr]

I’m in IF I can cross the border.
