A note from
Grand Rapids Road Ryders
July 2007
Here are some dates coming up, which may be of interest to you. Look them over, jot them down in your calendar, ask questions if need be, plan to join us for some.
.. July 14th – 20th This is almost right upon us, if you haven’t planned on this already, it may be too late, but contact Bob Tasior (Rtaz) ASAP, maybe you can still just aboard. This is their 2nd Lake Superior Ride – sure to be great. Unfortunately, I cannot make it. This will be wrapping all around this gigantic lake, views and scenery like you can not believe.
.. July 21st An All-Day Saturday ride around the Lake St Clair (lying between Detroit and Canada). Tony and the SE Chapter are running this one, so if you can’t make the week-long ride above, here is an outstanding one-day ride. I do plan to go on this, never been there – no idea of what to expect, but looks really nice. Half the trip IS THRU Canada, so please bring your passport, or picture ID and birth certificate – they WILL BE needed.
I plan to leave GR at 7 am on July 21st, to meet up with the SE Chapter folks at 10 am, sure would be great to have a few from the GR area join me on this day trip. I will be leaving from Bob Evans Restaurant (M-6 and Kalamazoo Ave exit) at 7 am sharp (need to, to get to our meeting point in Detroit at 10 am), I will be getting there a little early, probably grab some breakfast and coffee – join me here as well, always enjoy your company.
.. August 11th GR Road Ryders Dinner Ride, will be taking off at 4 pm for a couple hour ride, then a nice relaxing and laughter-filled dinner with friends – YOU be there !!
.. August 17th – 19th Midnight Ride and U.P. Tour This is turning into one outstanding event … somewhere around 70-80 ‘wild and crazy’ folks show up for this. We leave early on Friday morning (7 – ish) to meet up with the Tri-City chapter, then take a leisurely ride up to and over the bridge. Stop for a nice lunch, check into our hotel for the night, great dinner together with friends – eventually hit the sack. Then we get up in time to watch the 10,000 riders come into St Ignace after riding all night, then we have breakfast all refreshed and all, then head up into the U.P. for all day great riding.
***** And then on Saturday night …. Whoooo eeeeeeeee – if you haven’t been there before, hold onto your hats !! And THAT is a pun, my friend – because hats are a big part of this “NORTHERN MARDI GRAS” festival. You just gotta be there to understand. Rooms are filling up fast, we’re staying at the Thunderbird Inn in St Ignace. Call (906) 643-8900 to make reservations, but do it soon !
.. August 25th There will be a lot more INFORMATION on this in the near future, but please start to make plans for this day. We are planning on the GR Road Ryders “METRO POKER CRUISE”. This is going to be so very cool, use the link below to the 28th Metro Cruise site. This is their 3rd annual, last year they drew over 8,000 vintage and classic cars, 175,000 people – just waaaayyy outta sight.

We are planning our POKER RIDE, to coincide with this Metro Cruise, will be an all day event. Will be starting at 11:00 a.m., will run our poker route, with lots of fun and NEW ideas here – CA$H to be won. We’ll be ending up with a big ‘burger & brat BBQ’ in the afternoon. This will be about 2 blocks from 28th Street and all the wild and outstanding action of the Metro Cruise. Hotel INFO will be available on the site, we have a spot for you to ‘pitch a tent and camp overnight’ if you choose. But you’ll want to stay the night, because hot rods & classic vehicles & trucks & big engines burnin’ tires – all will be going on thru the evening, and YOU WILL WANT TO BE THERE.
More Info will be coming, but mark your calendars
Later all,
