2012 Silver Lake Raptor Rally - June 8-10 - Mears, Michigan

[Mad Dog]

As usual, all are welcome.  Families and friends, Yamahas, Hondas, even Polaris' and pickup trucks.

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.

[Hefe]

so, lets change the weekend.. it ain't set in stone

[Mad Dog]

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?

[Langford]

-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....

[Hefe]

what is RF?

that site still alive?

[Mad Dog]

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.
