Michigan RTE, July 14th, Cross Village

[sleazy rider]

Yup, it's that time of the year.  An annual trek to the north for a traditional Polish lunch.

1PM on Saturday, July 14th.  I have no excuses to use anymore.   New tires on the bike, no work schedule, nada.

Be there!  

(I'll probably ride up Friday and camp at CycleMoore somewhere.)

[sammyseaman]

If the wifey doesn't have me scheduled for something that day count me in  

[Stripes]

If we finish the job on Friday & we're not working Sturday, you can count me in! Sounds fun!

[G]

I'm thinking may bee stay at houghton lake at my cabin and ride up sat  eat and end up at houghton lake . I have plenty of beds available if interrested

[Mr.Awesome]

Crap..... just checked the calender and we have a commitment that day. Have ridden the tunnel O trees but have never stopped at Leggs. Looks like an interesting place. Have a pierogi for me.

[Shadowfax]

Coming back from Dallas that week

  Sacrilege!

I might be out as well  

[wibornz]

I should be in death valley that day.

I wish.  

OTOH, I'll probably be on the other coast shortly after this lunch run.  

[CLAY]

Yes, because you might be at Drummond Island with me.    Knowing this, we might swing back for a lunch...

[chefc14]

Since Leggs Inn is only 20 miles from my house I'll try to swing by. I don't see anything on my calendar at this point but I never know when wifey is going to add something.

[the drummer]

I'd like to join the fun if I'm not out "tugging a barge" around Lk.Mich.! Fun roads up these parts!

[sleazy rider]

Woohoo!  Got a new(er) guy!  

Welcome to the fun of ride to eats.  Hope you can make it, but I do understand the making money thing.

Troof....

[Gat]

I really want to hit Legs Inn (which I will before fall) but that Saturday is our company picnic and they have go-carts  

[bassjones]

Hmmm.... That'd make for a LONG day, but doable... Unfortunately, my wife is having neck surgery June 27 and will still be recovering at that point, which means I can't be that far from home...

This ride sounds like a good time. It will give me chance to meet some of my fellow riders. Hey G is your offer open to the new guy and his wife (who has never been to Houghton lake) or we will go see our friends Steve and Shirley at Cycle-Moore's always a good time there!

[G]

Yep u can stay it looks like I'm going up on Friday night u r more than welcome

[Stripes]

Shoot... I can't do this. I forgot that TheRedOnesAreFaster & I are going to the Iron Maiden Concert in Sarnia that day... Cheers

[G]

G, My wife and I are really looking forward to next weekends ride, its been awhile since we have taken a bike trip together. She bought me this bike for my birthday this past May and we have had a blast making it our own. So needless to say you can count us in for Friday night and eating at the Leggs Inn will be a first for us. We've been by there many times and have even eaten at the cafe just to the south so this will make our trip to Cross Village complete!

[mxvet57]

Soooooooooo is this still on?  

[sleazy rider]

C'mon up and see me off to the Cabot Trail.    Hell yeah, we're eatin' high on the hog Saturday.

[mxvet57]

I have a plan.

[turbojim]

I have a plan too and that's to be there! Besides my wife is so excited to go that even rain won't stop us  

[OU812]

Soooooooooo is this still on?  

So when do we need to leave?
I take it the FJR is back!

[olsonm3915]

Since I had such a great time with some of you folks at Cycle-Moore exactly a year ago, I'm going to drag my son with me to this meet, no doubt he'll be on the KLR650 and I'll probably take the FJR.


 

[Cablebandit]

Drat...can't find a dog sitter....

[chefc14]

I've never met any of you so I'll just say look for the fat guy with the skeleton on his windshield. I'll be riding a Kawasaki Concours.

[mxvet57]

I'm leaving Thursday morning. Don't want to be late you know.

I'll be riding north through Wisconsin to Manistique Mi. I got a room for Thursday and Friday. Friday I'll be touring the east side of the UP. I'll be going to Big Springs, Pictured Rocks, Of coarse H58, (i have plenty of tire plugs just in case) Tahquamenon falls, White fish point, And if i have enough time the Soo Locks, and back to Manistique.

Saturday I'll take a flower sifting ride on US2 along the lake. With a stop at Rock Cut bridge and just for the hell of it, The Mystery Spot. Then Cross the mighty Mac and stop in Mackinaw city. Then to Cross Village for some fine Polish food.

For a nice bit of curvies, take the Cut River by pass road. They black topped it when the bridge was rebuilt a couple of years ago. It's only about 3/4 mile east of the bridge if you miss it coming from the west.

Be safe

[Reddog*]

Trouble is the cut river road is still all posted at 35 through the curves.

[G]

The soup is always good at the little resturaunt on the west side of the bridge by she deture.and on a side note job searching sucks

[Ack535]

Sorry guys,can't make it.

[sleazy rider]

G, Saturday night is ON.  I'll pack my flask for sitting around the campfire at CycleMoore.  The bags are going on the bike momentarily.

[sammyseaman]

   Summers are too damn short for me to be missing these things  

[CLAY]

Our view from Drummond Island tonight:
 
Looks like the three of us are IN for Saturday.  

[sleazy rider]

45 minutes and counting to launch.  First up, COFFEE!!!

[chefc14]

It was good meeting those who attended. I'll be looking forward to the next RTE event, hopefully in the center of the state. I'd like to get a few more miles in than the 50 I did this time for the round trip.

[sleazy rider]

   just walked in the door.  Damn its hot out there today.  Nice 750 mile weekend.    Big thanks to G for the accommodations last night and the morning coffee.  Would you adopt me?  

The Spot was working too.

[olsonm3915]

Ed and I just got back about 1/2 hour ago. 1200 mile 3 day weekend for us. It was good to meet everyone, and we had fun on H58, North Lake Shore Drive and South Lake Shore Drive from Legs Inn to Harbor Springs. The heavens opened up on us yesterday about 100 miles from our destination so we were both pretty well soaked.

Gotta recuperate for a while until I can have that much fun again.
 

[turbojim]

Well my wife and I sure are glad we got to meet everyone what a great day and many thanks to G for the accommodation Friday night. Saturday night we ended up in Hilman at Thunder Bay resort a very nice place more like a condo than a motel room and only $70 bucks for the night. Looking forward to the next time. Now I need to get that picture tag cause I found some really great tags on our way home!

[CLAY]

Proof it happened:

Man, the tunnel of trees is a blast.  We rode it three times.  

By the way- I just noticed how you edited yourself out of that one G!
