• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Official Updated 3 Great Lakes in 3 Great Days Ride

Joe and I will meet you at Nord. When we went to Birch Run last week I noticed that the Mt. Morris Rd. exit on I75 was or is closing. Will that affect us? We will be coming from I69 to I75.

Right now from I-69 & I-75 you should not be affected. The bridge going west was closed but has since reopened. When you get off the exit at Mt. Morris Rd. just turn right and just past the gas station/truck stop turn right on Exchange Drive. Nord Ride is down less than 1/4 mile on your right.

Jim that is so cool. Can't wait to meet you all again too. So where are you staying on Thursday night. I have a few other out of towners that are looking for where to stay and wondered what others were doing.

Ken made the reservations, I believe it is called the Tradewinds.

I know you are staying at the Tradewinds in St. Ignace. Ken told me that was recommended after some of the others were sold out. I hear it is just down the road from where we are staying. I was wondering about the night before you meet us at Nord Ride. Will you just be riding in that morning or are you staying somewhere near or in Flint?
 
We'll be coming in the night before. No reservations yet. Waiting to see where others are staying.
Looking forward to it. I hope it's not as hot as it is now. :gaah:
 
Ready to head north

Ms. Deb
I am planning to be near Nord Thursday night so I am ready and waiting 9am Friday morning.
I am clueless about where to stay------but someone will have better plans then I have. Just let me know where everyone is staying and I'll call for resevations.

This ride cannot come soon enough-------
Its my guess before heading home Sunday we will be making plans to get together again soon.

Is anyone coming from Minnesota or Wisconsin? Butch might let me swipe his spyder so I can go (he can't get the time off) and it would be nice to meet up with someone coming across from this way.
 
Places to stay on Thursday night.

There are a number of choices of places to stay on Thursday night if you are staying over near Flint before the meet up on Friday morning. Just north of I-69 and off the Miller Rd Exit on I-75 is a Comfort Inn, Super 8 and Red Roof Inn. For a little bit nicer places, just south of I-69 on the I-75/23 exchange at Hill Rd or Gateway Center, you have a Holiday Inn, Residence Inn and Marriott. If you want to continue east of Flint on I-69 about 6 miles from our house is a Comfort Inn in Davison MI and we could all ride up to Nord Ride together. This Comfort Inn is just north off of Exit 145 on I-69. This Comfort Inn has better reviews than the one in Flint and has plenty of places around it to eat as well. If I was going to pick one, I think I would lean toward the Comfort Inn in Davison. There is a Baymont on I-75 off Pierson Rd. I don't know a lot about this hotel but the area is a bet iffy. You don't want to be on the east side of the expressway exit at night over there, that is for sure. If you stay on the west side, you should be okay and there are some places to eat there as well. A little further south of I-69 just off I-75 at the Holly Rd. exit there are two decent places also. Here you will find a Holiday Inn Express and another Comfort Inn. This is about 8 miles the other direction from our house with easy access to the expressway. Just let us know where everyone is staying and we can try to get together for dinner on Thursday night if it works out. We did tell Gene afterall that we need to get him a real Coney Dog.

I think you should call Kelly and get her to go with you.

Also, if anyone needs a place to stay either Thursday or Sunday night you are more than welcome to stay with us. We are only about 2 hours from the starting point for Friday morning.
 
Thanks for the offer, but I most likely will come across the UP along Lake Michigan then join you at the bridge (I'd cross it twice!) if all goes well. I did think about checking with Kelly, maybe I will. I'll keep you posted.
 
Hi Deb,
Joan and I will be in Harrison, Michigan prior to the weekend and plan on leaving from there to meet at Mackinaw City. Do you have a planned meeting place there. We will be running up US-127 from Harrison, so if anyone is coming that way and wants to join up, lets us know. It's going to be fun:2excited:

Bob, I plan on being in the parking lot on the south east side of the bridge between 3:30 and 4:00 so that we can all cross over together. Can't wait to see you two again and looking forward to seeing Damion too.

I just made reservations at the Comfort Inn in Davison on Lapeer RD. I hope that is the right one.
I hope others who are coming in Thursday evening will join us.
