I am starting this thread as not to muddy up 5PYD3R's thread for an August ride.

As I stated in the other thread, Sat. July 28th would be good for me. That being said, Hell is a little far for a one day trip for me and the wife. Frankenmuth is out.

If you all wanted to head west toward Battle Creek that would fit me better. I don't want to interfere with your plans Steve to see Hell or Frankenmuth, so if you chose Hell I would probably throw the Spyder in the trailer and drop off in Jackson. There is no way I'm going to ride the Spyder down Semi Boulevard, aka I-94, with the cheese graters along the side of the road. And to take back roads would just take way to long to get there.

I'll keep my eye on this thread to see want the plans are and make my decision by Friday based off of what the final decision is. Hell does look like a nice area to ride.

You could take I196 & I96 instead of 94. Fewer semis and only a few miles further.

Well it sounds like we are getting some interest in this Hellacious meet and eat.

Any suggestions on a good time to meet up? Maybe around 12:30 to 1:00 for lunch and see what happens from there?

I'll work on that Larry.

Maybe something during the Paw Paw Wine and Harvest Festival. We can ride around the countryside and smell the grapes.

You're right...long drive to come over and back without spending a nite somewhere...If you want to come over for the Hell ride you guys are welcome to our spare bedroom. Seems like hell is it...Look forward to seeing everybody.

Paw Paw to Hell is only 112 miles. Then 112 miles back = 225 miles round trip. That's a long ride for a day?

Huh?

My wife doesn't like expressways so I avoid them as much as possible, especially I-94. Therefore the 112 miles becomes about 125 at almost 3 hours. Another possible 2 hours of riding after we meet up and you are looking at a total of 8 hours maybe more.

Now I know to you that doesn't seem like much and it's not, on a good day. But for reasons I don't want to get into right now, Connie and I are not going to be on that bike for eight hours Saturday.

But it's all good. We'll just trailer it a ways and ride the Spyder the rest of the way.

Dan, are you going to make it to Hell on Saturday? You should come.

Not sure if I'll make it due to other plans. ..... But might be able to move some things around.

Spyder Steve is in Lansing. Ruby is not letting him out of her sight and demands constant petting from him! Crazy dog.

I think we'll be getting to Hell around noon tomorrow.
