Open to all CLSB, newbs welcome.
Ride to the Stray Dog Restaurant in New Buffalo, Mich
Sat, Jun 19th
Pace will be flow of traffic +10. May kick it up a little in some parts, may double back if a road is worth it. Regardless I will slow down and wait for the entire group to catch up before changing directions.
This is for no reason other than a relaxing ride to get good food and meet new people.
All times are approx, depending on traffic, however I will not leave before a stated stands up time. Time will be determined by the great Verizon Wireless :laughing:
Since part of the trip is toll road, please ensure you have your IPASS set up correctly. If you intend to pay coins for tolls please let me know before we leave and the group will wait for you on the other side of the toll booth. If you intend to cover your plate or ride the center line I don't want to know about it.

Dest: Stray Dog Bar & Grill

Return trip time depends on when we decide to leave, and route is tentatively the reverse of the way we take out there unless majority people want to just take 80/94 back. Should be back before sunset as some people (myself included) have plans for later that evening.

I ask that if you want to join the ride, please let me know which meet spot you will be joining us at so I can have an idea of how many people to expect.

IF I make it I will meet up at the first meet up spot seeing how it is the closest

North Side Meet: Mobil Gas Station
Touhy and River Road by entrance to 294

And since I have never met any of you before is there any special spot at the gas station we are going to meet so i don't have to walk up to ever biker I see and ask if there from this website

If I don't have to work I will be at the South Side spot. I will know my work schedule tomorrow.

Unless I'm the only one that would be there. Then i'll take a page out of uncle bug's book and meet you crackers where 80 dumps into 94 by Torrance as you fly by.

<Insert Shellys "Word" smily here>

I'll be on a white '96 YZF with a blue mohawk on my helmet. Depending on weather I might be wearing my Safety First perf jacket with black riding pants.

I usually look for the dudes wearing helmets. I'm sure there won't be ton of bikers waiting there. You'll find us easy enough.

Hey, we can't all text on that fancy iPhone and ride at the same time.:laughing:

...actually, now that I think of it... I can, I just got that RAM mount for my phone/GPS...but I can totally text and ride now!
And shortly thereafter, hit a car, or tree, or curb. So probably not.

If you bought an Iphone instead of EVO you wouldn't have to buy extra ram (yea I know you meant ram mount for your bike)
