Monthly Update May 2024

Greetings HOG Family,

I think it is official that our riding season has begun. (Finally!) This month we start our weekly Lunch Rides on Tuesdays and have some other amazing rides this month, including a GREAT Ride and a Points of Interest Ride that is planned very well for all types of riders. At our Social Event this month, the 2024 Riding Challenge will be revealed and handed out to those interested.

Points of Interest Ride

Garvin is leading this ride and here is what he has to say about it:

We’ll be taking mostly 2 lane back roads. I have pre-ridden the route and was pleased to find that 95% of the roads are freshly resurfaced and super smooth. We’ll be stopping midway to stretch our legs and/or top off the tanks, then continuing on to Downtown Midland, where we will visit the “Tridge”. This will be our main stop and we will also take some time here to have a bite to eat. There are several different types of restaurants to choose from in a very short walking distance. There’s literally something for everyone here.

After regrouping, we will then continue on to the Old Tyme Gas Station, the Hippie Tree, and then the Mini Mac bridge. I would suggest bringing a kickstand puck if you have one as there will possibly be some gravel to deal with at one or two of the locations. We also will have a bandana for riders to sign that we will be hanging on the hippie tree.

Please note that the Chapter Ride officially ENDS at the Mini Mac Bridge, but Jen and I will be heading home with our midway stop being in Frankenmuth, and anyone is welcome to come along with us.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Garvin (or a Chapter Officer for Garvin’s info).
