Anyone interested on a winter ride in L.P. MICHIGAN? Also see previous post. :-D

TigerTwo-

I would be interested if I could get there. Maybe we should post on a general forum as the ins and outs of winter riding are less about the Tiger and more about the attitude.

Cheers,
Fred

I'd be interested too but it would be a six hour haul. An hour to work and back in the winter is one thing, but six hours out and back is another. I would not want to make that trip solo. I like Fred's idea. Maybe there would be some other Triumph (or Tiger) riders in my area that have enough screws loose to make the trip also.

I would be interested too, it's not a long ride. The trip around the bottom of the lake can be dicey in the winter. What would be the route?

I take the 90/94 (northwest tollway) down to Indiana via the "Skyway".

Continue on 94 eastbound through Indiana on into Michigan.

Pick up 196 east turns north into Michigan. Straight up to Grand Rapids.

The Lake effect is nasty. I've found it to go out as far as Grand Rapids/Lowell (about one-hour east of Lake Michigan!

I think a January/February ride would be probable. Unless one swings out and circumnavigates the effect (about 75 miles away from the lake at all times.

We could meet in any of the surrounding states as well.

I'm open for suggestions.

I was tied up at work yesterday, I'll try to call today. As for the route. I take the Skyway into Indiana and 94 into Michigan. Another way that I've taken is the ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon. Granted it's $85.00, but it's still fun if it runs this late in the season.

Sorry, I didn't read the post 'til today!

Hope we can ride together sometime.
