Hey Marc, Thanks again for setting this up! It was really nice to meet you and the the others that came out. You couldn't have asked for nicer weekend. The weather was perfect, the roads were fantastic and the company was great. Got a chance to ride a lot of Riv's in different sizes which for me

It's less than a week away now, the long term weather forecast makes it look like a perfect weekend for cycling and I expect about 10 from the responses I have gotten. We are looking forward to it and welcome any late comers to join in if you are withing range. We'll be meeting in the Day Us

Re: [RBW] Re: Country Bike Rally in Michigan 2015

Based on the replies I have had, I reserved two campsites at Yankee Springs for the weekend of 9/25-27. One is reserved for Sunday as well in case anybody besides me needs to stay an extra day. There are 5 of us camping for sure with a couple more possible. The campsites can accommodate one

I got back from last week's ride along the Michigan lake shore. I will be waiting until later in the week to make reservations for the rally on the 25th of Sept. So far I have only received 2 confirmations in the mail. According to the responses I've had, I expect 10-12 for the weekend. $20

It's not that bad. If you are racing, it is really challenging, but I intend to avoid some of the really testy sandy climbs that make it tough. I literally lived on the course for 15 years and these are the roads I used to use to go the grocery store and Walmart. I actually couldn't believe

[RBW] Re: Country Bike Rally in Michigan 2015

I was going to suggest that to anybody who shows up Friday. The trail is not far away and a good ride, it can be negotiated on 40-50 mm tires and will be a good diversion to anybody with a little time to kill. Marc On Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at 9:04:38 AM UTC-4, Palmer wrote: > > Hi Marc, >

Time is drawing near, so I thought it best to give this a boost to remind everybody. It will be held Sept. 25 through 27th. We will be staying at the Yankee Springs modern campground outside Middleville, Mi. I will be taking a committed head count in late August to reserve the necessary sites
