Great Lakes Tour July 29-Aug 16 +/- 2-4 days

Postby kwando723 » Fri Feb 13, 2015 12:44 am

Riders,

I plan on leaving the DC area to attend a wedding in the suburbs of Chicago and after the wedding (Aug 2nd), I'm planning a Great Lakes tour with a few of my friends from Chicago. I will be leaving DC on July 29th, spending a night at a fellow GS riders home in Cleveland, and visiting family & friends in the Chicagoland area. The ride will be mainly on tarmac due to friends having non-gs bikes. Feel free to let me know if you want to join the ride or parts of it. Thanks

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

I've done a similar trip on a bike, twice, and then a car. Fantastic sites and wonderful people. If you want any advice, please let me know. I have visited all the locations you show. Here are a few photos:
