Official Updated 3 Great Lakes in 3 Great Days Ride

[NancysToy]

Dear DandB
Just 37 days to go:
I just read that the Mackinaw Bridge can with stand 150 MPH winds----
I was wondering if I should bring my own tie down straps.
I bet Scottie already plans to bring enough for everyone.

Sorry, if we make it, the tie-downs will be for Nancy, so she doesn't chicken out and hitchhike home before she has to cross the bridge.

I've got a reservation at the Cedar Motel for this event if anybody needs a room...Another one that I can't make because I'll be recovering <hopefully> from my bypass that's being done in July...This really sucks but gotta get the plumbing fixed if I'm gonna be doing any riding in the future..Send me an PM and I'll call the Cedar and confirm the room transfer...Meanwhile I'll sit back and pout that I can't attend any of these great events this summer:gaah:

I can't wait to cross The Bridge on my Spyder. I have been over that bridge many times but never on a motorcycle.

Here's a look at crossing in the winter. Sometimes you can see and sometimes not so much.

Larry, so sorry you can't make the ride, but your health comes first. Take care of yourself and we will pray for a complete and quick recovery.

Later this week I will be posting a tentative ride and stop route from Nord Ride parking lot in Mt Morris, MI to the Mackinaw Bridge. This is the Lake Huron ride up to the Bridge and will include a couple of stops to pick people up along the way. I am going to do my best to time this with gas stops and will take into account people that are driving the RT.

As of right now my wife, Nancy, and I are planning on attending this event. Will be making reservations tomorrow for somwhere near Flint and then at that the Northernaire or the Pines. What do I need to do to be registered for this Ryde and is there a reg. cost? Looking forward to it.....looks like a Great Time.

So happy to have you join us. No, there is no registration fee. This is just a vacation and a ride with friends. I will add you to the updated list. If you are coming through Canada toward Flint on I-69 through Port Huron, there is a Comfort Inn just east of Flint in a town called Davison. It is about 6-7 miles from our place and you could meet us for the ride Friday morning on the way to Nord Ride. If you are coming up from the south, there are a few choices on the I-75 Corridor. If you get off on Holly Rd just south of Flint by Genesys Hospital, there is an AmerInn and a Holiday Inn Express. North of Flint, just off Miller Rd. on Austin Parkway there are about 3 different places, I will have to look to see which ones are there. Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.

I added my wife. I wasn't sure she was going but she is in as long as Joe doesn't talk about riding in cold weather with heated gear.

I am not sure of our plans yet as we are taking our vacation the week after the ride and we may be staying in the UP for a couple of extra days to do a little sight seeing. I want to see some of the places I always visit in winter to see what it looks like not covered in snow.

They will look a lot taller. :roflblack:

Glad to hear she is joining us. I really think this is going to be a nice time.

Aug. 12th is sneaking up on us quickly everyone. I was wondering if I could get a shout out from everyone that is planning on meeting us at Nord Ride for the start of this ride. I don't want to leave anyone behind and if I know who is planning on being there, we are more likely to prevent that from happening. I would like to plan the meetup for 0900 so that we can be on the road promptly at 0930. We will be picking up Jason as we drive by M46 & M83 intersection. We will be picking up Kim as we drive by Beaver & M-13 intersection. These will not be true stops, just pick ups. We will stop for a quick lunch and fuel in Tawas where we will also pick up Buck and his wife. I plan on stopping at the Subway but there is a Burger King and McDonalds within a mile of the Subway as well as fuel. Would like to keep this stop to 1/2 hour. There will be a couple of scenic stops along the way for photo ops as well. Would like to be to the south east side of the Bridge by 1530-1600 to meet any other SpyderLovers that want to all cross the Big Mac together. Please give us til 1600 as a group ride on side roads always seems to take a little longer. If any one has any questions, please just PM or give me a call. I can't wait everyone.

Hi Deb,

Ken Tompkins and my wife and I will be joining you at Nord Ride for the start of the ride at 9 A.M. or before. Looking forward to that weekend.....can't wait.
