Howdy folks: I am planning a ride from Lubbock, TX to Brighton, MI beginning on 24-July (possibly the 25th depending on weather). I will depart Lubbock around 4am ride East to Wichita Falls, then hop on I-44 north to I-35, continue up through Wichita, KS and probably stop in Emporia, KS (about 1/2 between Wichita and Kansas City) for the evening. 25-July: Next day I will continue up I-35 up through Des Moines where I will pick up I-80 and continue East until arriving in Davinport, IA, where I will be staying the night. (A good friend of mine lives there, and they are not too far out of the way). 26-July: Leaving Davinport, I will then be able to take my time to putter across Northern Illinois to end up in Spring Grove, IL or Gurnee. I will be there for 1-2 days visiting my newest nephew (who is about 3 weeks old) and Also give my neice her first motorcycle ride! 28 or 29 -July: Depart Spring Grove/Gurnee and head for Brighton, MI via I-94 (probably take the Tri-state (294) around chicago - but we'll see when I get there). I'll stay on I-94 Until Battle Creek, where I'll shoot up I-69 to Lansing (With a stop in Mason to drop off my passenger) Then on to Brighton. I will be in Brighton, Walled Lake, Clarkston, Mason, Jonesville and various other places for that week. I will start my ride back to Texas sometime between the 4th and the 8th. I'm hoping to be able to stop in Marble Falls, AR for a day or 2 of the rally, but I am not sure what my schedule is going to be like while I'm up in Michigan (I will be with some family that is only doing so-so and they are the main purpose of my trip. So depending on what happens, I may or may not swing through AR). As for the details of my return trip, I have not decided. It will largly depend on how much time I will have to come back. I may go south through Nashville (visit some more family) then putter on over to Marble Falls, or I may need to just take the most direct route possible home... We'll see -- I'll be taking it a day at a time. ANYWAYS, I wouldn't argue with some company through various parts if you wanted to meet up or whatever just let me know. Hope to see you all in August at the Hub! Gdspeed - Rick M.
