2014 Northern Michigan Adventure Rally

Let's do this.

June 20-22.

Fire roads, ORV trails, and lots of sand.

Location - Thompsonville MI - Campsite TBD. Hopefully Wild Bill is open to hosting us. We'll leave this open for now - I'll start making calls.

Let me know if you're in.

Beer will be provided by Wolverine Brewing of Ann Arbor.

If there is anyone I would want to be there, it is you Doug.

Done deal!

Who is that fat-old guy trying to kickstart his bike?

Do you fellas need a token yooper on this misadventure?

I just got the bike out of the basement today and put 90 miles on it. This event was always lots of fun but I have prior engagements on that weekend. If you decided to move it to the weekend before or after I would certainly be in but that weekend is a no go for me.

Good times in the sand there!

Yoopers are always needed

Nice - riding season I'd finally here. I don't expect this event to be the badass party that Ryan puts on. Just riding and having good times in the evenings.

In terms of a date, I just chose a weekend that works for a group of friends.

I'd propose that this be a multi-weekend event where people show up when it's convenient for them.

My summer is all booked up, lets ride in january.
l have obligations to my dirtbike...
thats my priority

I can tell you're not married...

The Tiger hates the sand and makes me look like an idiot when we go thru it!!!

Never again, WTF was I thinking?

Any suggestions on a campground? I'm thinking a State Forest Campground like Schecks: http://www.michigandnr.com/parksandtrails/Details.aspx?id=583&type=SFCG

A good standby is Wild Bill's since it is definitely connected to the trail system.

Cycle Moore in Interlochen is pretty nice for the price.

Looks good. I'm in Hawaii now, so I'll call them next week when I'm back to find out if they are connected to the trail system.

Thanks - acs

I'm out; heading to Black Hills, SD with the family.

Not true, here is what they say.
Our motorcycle campground has plenty of room for your tent, camper, fifth-wheel, RV or motor home. No matter how big the motorcycle event, or your rig, you can count on having room for your needs.

So it looks like my prior engagements are no longer valid!
As far as trail systems close to Cycle-Moore there are a lot of great 2-tracks within a couple miles in multiple directions. The closest single track is about 20 miles away.
I do not think the late night hooligan rides thru the campground would fly here. If that is the experience you are looking for you better stay at Betsie river canoe and campground.
GLDS has hosted events from Cycle-Moore and has a few routes available for easy adventuring by roll chart or GPS (must be a member for access).
