Re: Mid-Michigan
Yeah Michigan. I live in Lapeer, a group of us from work drove up to Castaways in Bay City a few weeks back for a tuesday bike night. Pretty fun group, a few harleys, a few rockets, even a trike. I've been meaning to take a ride around the thumb all summer but haven't yet.

Re: Mid-Michigan
I have not stopped into Castaway's since I got the bike but I know the couple of times that I've been by there on Tuesdays they usually fill the parking lot up. If you ever want to go on that ride thru the Thumb let me know, I would be like to do that too. My dad and I and maybe my brother plan on going on a day trip in the next few weeks. We all get days off during the week.

Re: Mid-Michigan
Being originally from Marquette, MI (The UP)...........and my parents now live in Petoskey, MI. I may be coming up through Michigan sometime before the summer is over. I'll let you guys know if I pass on buy to possibly meet up.

Re: Mid-Michigan
Me and some friends from work did this route last Saturday - going counterclockwise from Lapeer (to PH first) It was pretty fun and not really twisty except for the bit of backroad we did when we got off the highway before Port Huron. It's starting to get a touch chilly off the lake though, so I was glad to be wearing my leather. I recommend you check out that lakeshore before it gets too cold.

Re: Mid-Michigan
Thanks for the tip. Not sure if I will be able to go on any long rides the rest of the year but this is one I will do next year for sure.

Re: Mid-Michigan
Some of us on the forum are talking about doing a short tour around Michigan next spring some time. We havent really started making any definite plans yet. I would be willing to listen to any ideas/suggestions for a 2-3 day trip. I guy from work suggested that if I am going to go for a couple day trip to head over to the west coast of the state.

Re: Mid-Michigan
I'm kinda bummed that I live in the Northwest corner of the lower peninsula. A group ride sounds like a lot of fun.

Re: Mid-Michigan
I wouldn't be against heading up that way or meeting somewhere in between and going farther. I would like to found out how many people would be interested and than try and figure out a route to take.
