[Deleted member 3748]

The date for this year's ride is set for Sept. 30. Last year's ride was on the same weekend as opening day for bow season and attendance was down a bit. I'll add to this post as more information comes out. Hope to see you there!

Here's the thread from last year. Michigan - Trek the Mighty Mac - 10/1/2016

I just sent an email and asked how we can register as a group for this year's crossing, which gets us lined up towards the front and allows us to hang a banner. @Hondasxs may want to provide a banner or we can make our own for the Michigan Regulators! I know @Remington will be there, and I will be there. How about @trigger , @utvmi , @906UP , @aprils_fool , @skidooby , @Plumber32 , @Nascar ?

Sounds like a grand idea there Piston.

I'll say....maybe.... that is opening day of the deer-archery season

it is? They made that mistake last year and attendance was down. They have it earlier this year to avoid that mistake. But apparently not early enough.

Opening day of bow season is October 1. I'm a bow hunter but I have all the way till November 14 to get out there more than enough times. So I think I can miss the first two days. Are used to go to those days but it's too damn hot anymore

I'll be there. Should I be reserving a room now or what? And where exactly?

That's good news. People can ride Saturday and hunt Sunday.

We'll be staying in St. Ignace and probably the same hotel as last year. They have a nice, big parking lot. The rooms haven't been updated in decades but it's right on the water. I'll get the info from my old lady and post it later.

wooooo. Maybe 6 is enough for a group. The lady said she's going to find out how many and get back to me.

There's technically 3 in our group, 1 Pioneer, 1 Yamaha & 1 Can-AM. Unless my wife decides to ride in the DONKEY.....lol

Looks like we have a convoy.....

I might be able to talk a friend into going as well but he's riding a Polaris.....he'll have to be in the back

Hey.
Would love to support you guys. I would be glad to cover the cost of a co-branded banner with HondaSxS and the Michigan Regulators.
Just let me know how I can help. Thanks.

That's awesome @Hondasxs ! First let me find out how many machines it takes to make a group. I can easily find banner makers. We can't fly flags on our machines during the ride, but we can hang the banner where we're parked and get several hours of display time.

I brought two Polaris guys on our last ride. I don't think @Remington and @trigger are too mad at me.

This is where we stayed last year and we just made reservations for the 29th and 30th. We stay on the Penthouse level... no joke.

This is a photo looking out of the penthouse suite. The rooms go all the way through so each room opens on to the water.
