Michigan

[Telesque]

I'm from (more or less) Lansing Michigan, and down for day rides, events, shows, whatever.

If you're looking for someone to put some miles on with, I'd be happy to ride. :D Always looking for new interesting places to see, and always happy to learn something from another rider.

Maybe once we get enough MI's here, we can have our own little TMW meet. :laughing:

I'm in Oakland county. Ocassionally I search for events within the area online. There ae a few coming up, but many of them are rides which either start and end at the same location or ride to another location not to far away from the starting point. I stopped doing the rides but will attend if it's for a good cause and if there are many vendors. I've yet ot hit a poker run and hear they are fun. I'm keeping an eye out for those. If you ever come to this side of town and want a riding partner, let me know. I know there are more Michiganders on the board. They just aren't speaking up.

Somewhere not too far from St. Johns. ;) I work in north side of Lansing.

For those interested in the NHL, or just interested in a long ride or a getaway for a few days, I plan on travelling to the Traverse City area for the training of the Red Wings, which starts Sept. 11th, if my plans fall into play, that is. I will most likely camp out at the state park near Interlochen depending on weather or unless i find some outstanding rates for motels. Anyway, no plans are definite yet but anyone willing to go is more than welcome. I'm in Oakland county to provide an idea of where my routing will start.

I'll be in Michigan sometime in either mid-August or in September. When I finally decide on when, I'll let y'all know, and maybe we can get in a ride then.

Cheers,
Loonette

p.s. Meanie - where in Oakland County are you? I lived for a while in Rochester (that's where Scan and I lived when we met). I'm just curious.

Royal Oak.

That'd be great. How long you staying? Let me know when you get into town.

I'll be in Metro Detroit/Holly area this Saturday till Tuesday. Long weekend away from home. Visiting a few friends, but I have left a lot of time open for riding.

Well, no takers on this yet, but if you see this post and it is during this weekend you can send Loonette a PM and she can call me out in the world on my cell phone. And if you see a green ZRX with a green helmet stop and say hi.

Well, I would take you up on the offer but as of this morning (Sunday) it is thundering and lightning and the rain is expected to last all day as well as into Tuesday.

It actually rained a little on Sunday morning (ok, it rained a lot, but not for a long time). I rode most of Sunday from 2pm to 10pm - no rain all day. Monday I rode from 2pm until about 7pm - no rain. Tuesday I rode home after 3pm. Rode through some rain coming through Ohio, and it rained a lot around lunch time. It was great to get out on my bike so much. I'll let it be known again next time I come up.

Ah, Royal Oak - home of the Detroit Zoo, the Metro Times, and (if it's still there) Incognito. I used to love shopping at Incognito when I was a teenager. Always wanted to live in Royal Oak because it's one of the more funky towns in the area.

I'm still trying to work something out for September. Maybe Labor Day weekend or perhaps the weekend of the 17th. I'll let you know when I get my marbles together enough to actually say "when". I liked the idea of Labor Day because I might like to go to the Hamtramck Festival (just for nostalgia's sake - well, and a couple of jello shots perhaps). Again, I'll let you know.

Cheers,
Loonette

Incognito is still there as well as many other new businesses surrounding it and more being added north and south on Main.

Currently, if plans stay on track, I'll be in NC during the Labor day weekend holiday and still tentatively planning the Traverse City area trip the weekend of Sept. 10th, depending on weather. Other than the NC trip, any time you come up and need a riding buddy for the day, let me know. Ocassionally a few other friends and I, will ride together also. Therefore, maybe we can make a day of something somewhere. Just let me know anytime.

Perhaps we could gather some Michigan/Ohio riders and plan small trips, get togethers, rallies, etc on ocassion. Anyone from these areas want to chime in to participate or with input/suggestions, please do.
