Schedule
Thursday June 7th
No group events, arrival date for some members.
Friday June 8th 9:00am to close
No group events scheduled but we will have an assembly area in the parking lot.
Saturday
10:00am - Group ride; assemble on the beach and then we'll ride for about an hour to an hour and a half. We'll start with a slow group ride, just a cruise around the dunes. And then circle back around to the beach after a lap or two and split it up.
12:00pm - BBQ down on the beach. Group Picture to immediately follow Lunch Approximate time of 1:30pm but subject to change.
Afternoon - Ride with other members, or go out by yourself. Staging area will be the same. Times vary according to need.
Yamaha Demo Days (at the dunes) and West Michigan Sand Dragway Races (a few miles away from the dunes) will be going on during the day.
Sunday
No group events, most will be headed home.
I'll find some way to make our group stand out this year so that the assembly areas are easy to find. More details on that as it develops.

:wtf: you're breaking my heart :(
been planned for years....
good buddy too
:confused:
dang
so, lets change the weekend.. it ain't set in stone
Had a thread up on RF for two months...where were you?
What weekend would you suggest...the weekend after labor day? the weekend before july 4? may, when it's too cold? July when it's too hot and the hotel prices double?
-dogs, buns, grill, utensils for grill are covered. I think LowSbody said he will have another grill also.
As far as which weekend, it makes no difference to me....
what is RF?
that site still alive?
Demo Days and WMSD race on June 9-10...considering switching dates. Please chime in if this will alter your ability to attend and do so quickly, as this needs to be nailed down very very soon.
DAmn I was going to go this year. But the Walden rally gets priority.... I can't go to 2 rallys the same weekend. Maybe back 2 back, but not the same

Thanks, good to hear.
Booked my hotel this evening.
Later this month I'll be taking names down for attendance purposes and laying out the food. Those of you who are attending please start thinking about what you might want to bring along for the group lunch.
scheduled my "daddy weekend" around it..
I should be good to go..
not sure if I will be staying the night or just driving in for the day..
I guess it depends on who all is staying..
post up bitches!
Ok, who's coming? Gotta get close to a head count so we can start planning the food.
Well then I guess I'll ask the RF peeps, maybe they'll respond to me.
I will be there, not sure if I will be riding solo or not yet...but I will make it for sure.

I think someone might have done that already, unless I'm missing it somewhere now. Let me know.
Updated the Attendee List :)

Picked up a K&N Banner to hang from the canopies, should make it easier to spot us on the beach.
Chime in guys, gotta plan for the event and we need to know how many will be in attendance.
