Great Lakes

[101stpathfinder]

Just returned from my first 100CCC and started thinking "Where to next ?" I would like to do the 4 individual

Great Lakes rides. Has anyone done this? Is it possible to do all 4, one every other day and do them on a

weeks vacation? What is the best time of the summer for a Florida rider with limited gear? What farkles ?

Any advice would be welcomed. I will wait for a sponsored Great Lakes Gold Ride but the individual rides

I want to start planning.

I know of group that did it on their sport bikes.... It's all about time management...

As for what to wear.... warm multi layers , GPS would help and maybe extra lights... for northern Ontario nights...can you say forest rats.... and bullwinkles

The MTF hosted a ride in 2004 called the "Poker Run From Hell" that did exactly that in 5 days. Details can be found here:

Sounds like a fun ride.
