What's your route and date of travel to Chicago?

[dltang]

Thought I would start a new thread for people to list their route of travel to the BRP event and the date and time they are leaving. This way, if there are other SpyderLovers that want to try to arrange a meet up for the ride, they can have some idea of who is headed their way.

We are leaving at 0800 on June 25th, we are meeting up with some Ontario SpyderLovers at the I-69 and Belsay Rd exit. We will be stopping at I-94 in Lawrence MI at approx 1100. From there we head to Merrillvill Portillos for lunch with the Indiana crowd and BajaRon at approx 1300. Then on to Libertyville it is.

Pretty much the same for us... although I would prefer taking 12 from 69 over to New Buffalo. 12 is a nice 2 lane to ride...plenty of little towns on the way... not as fast as 94 but much more scenic and less traffic stress!

Dan, you and Mike are leaving Thursday though, right? Mike is leaving from Lansing and meeting with Dan in Battle Creek if I am not mistaken. They are meeting with TAJohn, from Cleveland Ohio, somewhere along the way as well, I believe.

Plans are still pretty loose at this point.. will firm things up as we get closer. I'd like to hit the road Thursday morning and have a nice ryde for the day.....

Will have to check with the others...

[Roadkill]

+Please keep posting itinerary. Catching up to others inbound along the way is a possibility.

Attached is my general route, though, and as you can see, I also have some time on my hands outbound.

Ride on.

Hey Scotty--- you might want to consider taking 294 up around Chicago instead of 90/94...nojoke

While still hectic, it's not as crazy until you merge back with 90 near O'hare.

Time of day is EVERYTHING in Chicagoland --- Best time (other than late night) during the day to go on either route is from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm.

Anything before 10 or especially after 3 and traffic is nuts.

Someguy and I are leaving from the Marshall Shell @ 10:00 tomorrow. Taking 69 down to 12 - then 12 across the state to the lake--- then picking up 90/94--- then on to 294 and up to Libertyville.

Staying away from the loop altogether!

Should be in Libertyville mid-afternoon.:thumbup:

You might have some luck NW of Toledo in an area called Sylvania, OH. There are a pretty fair number of motels along US-23, south of the Michigan border and not terribly far north of the OH Turnpike. Good Travels! :thumbup:
