ragtop69gs Posted September 20, 2011 #26 Posted September 20, 2011 Ok Joe & I worked out a route to & from the Ludington & Mainitee area. We're currently checking out hotels for the two towns looking for a decent deal. Trip is being planned for Oct 8th & 9th. We'll switch to Oct 15-16 if weather is bad. Leaving Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening using mostly country roads to avoid freeways as much as possible. It'll should be under 300 miles / 6+ hours with breaks and lunch each way & using a different route each way to boot. We'll pick a meet spot for Saturday morning once we see who is all going, trying to locate it for the best of all attending. What we need now is a head count on who plans on going so we might be able to book a block of rooms at reasonable rates. I'll run a ongoing head count here--- 1. Joe 2. Joyce & I Thanks, Larry 2 here
KarlS Posted September 20, 2011 #27 Posted September 20, 2011 Nice area, every once in a while I like to ride up to Hardy Dam and the Newaygo, White Cloud areas in the Maniatee National Forest. Like I said I'm in for at least the 8th. Sending you a PM Larry.

DarrinGT Posted September 22, 2011 #40 Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for the Invite Larry, PM Sent. As it turns out we are planning a ride that weekend as well with 4 other couples. We will be staying just north of you guys in Frankfort Area and plan on covering the inroads of the Leenlenau Peninsula. I sent Larry my cell number we might be able to cross paths and say HI. I'll keep watching this thread to see what your route may be. We will be riding with the following bikes: Silver Honda VTX with matching Fairing, Burgundy VTX with a windshield, Burgundy 06 Goldwing, Black 02 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad with a Harley Fairing, and my bike,....see pic,.. Looking forward to it and hope that our paths will cross at some time.
Carbon_One Posted September 22, 2011 #41 Posted September 22, 2011 Ok hotel will be Days Inn in Ludington. We have blocked 10 rooms under Venture Riders group at $42 + tax per room. Each attendee will have to call in the reservation at 231-843-2233. Also if a cancellation is needed you can cancel up to 24 hrs before being charged. Oh one more thing the reservations need to be in by Oct 1st for this rate. Come on folks it won't get any better then this.
