Sunday is probably out for us, but I might be able to talk Geri into a ride on Saturday. I would prefer the Wells (Town & Country) or Hidden Lake Gardens ... or both. The Gardens might be nice ride after lunch at the Wells. I'll talk to the boss about Saturday. If Sunday is best for the majority don't worry - I've gotten in a lot (too much) of riding the past few days anyway! lol

Count Joan and me in. We think Dan's idea will work for us. Town & Country, lunch at Wells and then Hidden Lake Gardens. Randy, want to meet and ride out together ? If so let us know when and where to meet. I'm going to see if a friend will be able join us.

My pancreas is still trying to recover from a long weekend of road food and eating off schedule. We'll have to pass...at least on the lunch part. We'll play the riding part by ear. Never visited Hidden Lake Gardens.

This time of year Hidden Lake Gardens is just beautiful. It's on Route 50 near the town of Tipton. Admission is $3 per person.

Me and my wife would love to go (Sun). We have to get a sitter so if we could fine out what everybody would like to do it would help .I like the lunch in cement city and than the gardens, but that just me. Again if I could a where and when it would help. Thanks Rick and Jan

Bonnie missed out on Gizzard City both times this year so it looks like that is where we will be headed, her request. Not sure of the day or time yet.

I recommend lunch in Cement City and then the Gardens but someone else will need to take the lead on this one. Sorry!

Well, decide on a day - if it's Saturday then Geri and I will join the group for lunch and I'll be glad to lead the way over to Hidden Lake Gardens. (If the group goes on Sunday I'm sure Geri and I can find someplace to take the Spyder on Saturday. lol) HLG isn't too far from the Wells. I guess we also need a time to meet for lunch ... :)

Hi all,
We would love to join you but Friday we are heading to Midland from Athens to see our son. The plan is to ride around Midland, Saginaw, and Bay City on Saturday. If we make it home Sat night great, if not then we will be home Sunday. The Gardens sound like a great Ride. Perhaps we will go to the gardens Sunday afternoon. Thanks.

I'd definitely be up for Artesian Wells and the gardens (whatever they are!) on Sunday. I can't make it on Saturday.

So we need somebody to make a decision on which day and which place?

Ok, a plan is coming together. We will be at the Artesian Wells for lunch right around noon, maybe a bit earlier, on Saturday. Bob and Joan will be meeting with Geri and me at the Meijer's parking lot on AA-Saline Road at 10:30 am to find some pretty roads to the Wells. Anyone who would like to join us just let us know. Otherwise look for us at the Wells.

Chime in if you want to meet us at the Wells Saturday so we know what size table to get for lunch. From the Wells we'll go to Hidden Lake Gardens, which is very near Tipton on Route 50. Then we will be finding our way home. Many nice roads for that, too!

I'll check in at the Wells on both days to see what's going on...I only live 15 miles from it so Spydie won't even be warmed up before I get there...I'll see ya's...those who are showing...:)

Hi all,
I hope you had a great day at the gardens. Emily and I are thinking of going tomorrow. Can you drive through them. The map shows black top roads, so I would imagine you can. Thanks.

Yes, you can drive through, and there are a number of parking places along the way.

Thanks. I think we are going in the morning and then to a Chile cook-off and bike show in Plymouth Michigan. Looks like only an hour away from Tipton by way of US 12.

US-12 is beautiful right now. It was full of bikes today.
