Check out the Michigan forum for a couple of rides I am planning. We are looking at a ride through the Tunnel of Tree, tentatively scheduled for Mother's Day weekend and then a ride in Hell MI on the Sunday for Memorial Day weekend. It looks like HDXBones, Roaddog and Smylinacha are coming to MI for that ride. I wanted to invite any spyder ryders from neighboring states that might be interested to please join us.

Where is the tunnel of trees?

It is part of M-199, paralleling the shoreline of Lake Michigan. I have traveled this route by motorcycle, and it really is beautiful:

Okay, here it is. On May 8th, Brian and I will be riding north and camping somewhere in Mackinaw City. We plan to ride to Harbor Springs on Sat. where we will meet with any other riders that are interested in riding through the Tunnel of Trees and the Wilderness Park north to Mackinaw City. We will plan on meeting in the parking lot of the Marina on Bay St, just east of State. They have a pretty good size parking lot and it is easy access in and out. Around 12:30 we can have lunch and after lunch, start north through The Tunnel and the Park into Mackinaw City. Here is the route Tunnel of Trees and Wilderness Park from Harbor Springs to Mackinaw City (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Harbor+Springs,+MI&daddr=N+Lake+Shore+Dr%2FMI-119+to:45.626524,-85.067139+to:N+Lake+Shore+Dr+to:N+Lake+Shore+Dr+to :McCleary+Rd+to:Linsley+Rd+to:Straits+View+Dr+to:M ackinaw+City,+MI&hl=en&geocode=%3BFbBFtwIddkft-g%3B%3BFWzouAId0Wvv-g%3BFZhVuQIdWLXv-g%3BFZ-HuQIdOAPx-g%3BFYyvuQIdt7vw-g%3BFQgfugId47Tx-g%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=11&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7&dirflg=ht&sll=45.538219,-85.003881&sspn=0.226047,0.597382&ie=UTF8&ll=45.726315,-84.747849&spn=0.225289,0.597382&z=11)
