Hey Bitten,
I think it would be great to have a tour and invite the Great Lakes Area riders. Many people from Ontario can get over here easily enough through Port Huron or Detroit and then we head north on the I-75 corridor. Folks from Ohio, and Indiana could join up that way too. We could head to towards the UP stay the night in Mackinac City, (which I love) then head for the Lake Superior Shoreline drive, what a beautiful drive that is. Not sure which way you would be coming in to meet from Minnesota but for us heading back we could take the southern route of the UP along Lake Michigan for the way home. You'd probably be coming over through Ironwood. You could bring a group over from your direction toward Mackinac and if you came over via the southern route, when we headed out for the Lake Superior drive that would be your trek home. This is all speculative right now of course. We have to take time into consideration as well, everyone doesn't have a week off to wonder around the lovely upper peninsula, possibly including us. But if we picked a long weekend and planned a midway point such as Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, we could spend some time there and maybe head up to the Soo Locks for a day. When we are done, you any anyone that came from your area could head back west and any southerns and myself could head south. I'm just throwing thoughts out there tight now, but as we get closer to trying to close in on the real thing, I will get with you. I will also post this in the Canadian, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin forums when we get more set on an idea and some dates. Do you have anything in mind? I'll talk to you soon.
