Now if there had only been leaves on the road to blame MJ.

Derek, yes the planned route would go through there. If you go back a couple of pages Old School posted a map of the proposed route.

Based on team 5 discussions, it's looking like GZ will be in buffalo on the13th. The lizard is going back in a box and headed to Ottawa pending coordinator approval.

At the rate GZ is moving along, it's looking like he may not be in MI for a couple of weeks.  Is the MI crew planning on meeting up to do the Tunnel of Trees when GZ gets here or has everything been scheduled for this weekend?

I've ridden that stretch of road several times on my bicycle- would be great fun on the CB.

Hey Derek,

Here is the propose Michigan Monster Ride for 013!  http://goo.gl/maps/kZAgN

Ride a little of it or ride it all!
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Thanks OldSchool.  Looks like a fun ride.  Not sure that I can swing 4 days, but I'd at least like to meet up with you guys in Tawas and ride to TC.   

I've got most weekends free, but we're kicking off a couple of huge projects in a couple of weeks that will rule my life for the remainder of the construction season.  Hope GZ doesn't take too long to get here.

How long will it take for GZ to reach Ottawa via mail? Just thinking you may have time in the next couple of days to show GZ around Boston, and still get him to Larry in time? ;D

Larry has proposed riding to Port Dover on the 13th for a big bike event there, before meeting up with Tripps.

So the deal with GZ ON my end is that he will be shipped to Larry in Ottawa for Wednesday. Larry will take him closer to Buffalo when he lives for his ride on Thursday.

Sweet!! Keep the beasty moving!!

Tripps, Bekken, Cleavland Guys: if the Buffalo handoff happens on the 13th, can the handoff at the OH/PA boarder happen that day or will there need to be some time between handoffs?  After Bekken, then I think he'll be headed to Detroit via Toledo.  Any Toledo riders want in on this or will it be up to Artsqu & Dave to meet up with Bekken?

Larecords has something going on that day, so I won't be getting him til later in the day on the 13th. 14th I am busy, Sunday the 15th I am open. If something changes and I get him early, it would be possible.

Slowly but surely. So are we thinking that the Michigan Adventure will start on the 21st?

Are there any Ohio riders that can ride on Friday to meet Tripps half-way? If so, and Larry does the hand-off to him mid-morning, GZ could be in MI as early as Saturday?
