Tunnel of Trees Ride Oct 11-13 (MI)

[Indyron]

Friday is a get together dinner for all interested, Saturday is the ride to Legs Inn (about 35 miles from motel) through the Tunnel of Trees. We'll leave the motel around 11. After that folks can decide where to go next. Some may want to go to the Bridge others elsewhere. Sunday is open to return or maybe a ride south (we summer in Lewiston and can lead an enjoyable ride to there.)This is very informal and casual get together. I've contacted the Days Inn and they are holding 10 rooms, 2 queen rooms for $88 and 8 king for $91. There number is 231-348-3900. the rooms will be held till October 1. Call them direct to make your reservation. Mention the Spyder Group.

I'll check with the motel on Oct 1 an post who is coming. If you plan on riding but not staying at motel let me know. Thanks! Ron

Saturday and Sunday is Charlevoix's Fall Festival with more than 100 exhibitors in downtown Charlevoix. I'll guide a scenic ride to Charlevoix from Legs Inn after lunch. The festival is awesome, we've attended several years and is not to be missed!

From Harbor Springs, MI (north of Petoskey where the motel is) to the Legs Inn at Cross Village. On the map it is South and North Shore Rd. (M-119).

I am hoping to join the group for dinner on Friday, if I can get the day off of work. If not, I will meet up with you at the Leggs Inn on Saturday.

Ron, thank you for putting this ride together, the wife and I enjoyed the company, and met many new friends. "Pure Michigan" once again outdid herself! Would really enjoy a ride across the "Big Mac" next summer. Thanks Again Frank & Mary Ellen

Another "thanks" to Ron for this weekend. I had a good time. Some Girl would have really liked it, but she already had other plans.

It was a chilly ride home (all back roads). I got a few drops of rain here and there, but not enough to warrant rain gear. After a while of riding south I was in the sun with very few clouds.

Next time I'm riding Number Two. It's way more comfortable on the longer rides. But it was fun being the loudest Spyder in the group!

[Rando]

Oops! Your right! I corrected my posts.
