Bill Petry Memorial Ride: There will be a memorial ride on August 29, 2010. Bill Petry and friends have a traditional ride from Lansing to the Middleton Diner on the Sunday prior to Dalmac.
This is an 80 mile round trip, with a lunch stop at the Middleton Diner, in Middleton, MI. Riders will leave at 9:30 from the parking lot in Old Town near the Brenke Fish Ladder at the intersection of Turner St. and Grand River. Turner St. ends there. Public parking is usually available.
If you are not interested in an 80 mile ride, there will be a 28 mile ride, meeting the riders from Lansing in Maple Rapids. This ride will leave from The Emerald Golf Course at 11:00. Parking is available to us at the very south end of the parking lot, closest to Maple Rapids Rd. To get there take US 127 north of St. Johns, to Maple Rapids Rd, about 6 miles north after the freeway becomes a 4 lane divided highway. Turn left (west) on Maple Rapids Rd. Parking is on the right (north) about 1/4 mile from the intersection of US 127 & Maple Rapids Rd. We should meet the riders from Lansing around 11:30 in Maple Rapids and continue to Middleton together.
Route guides will be available at both starting locations. Please arrive early enough to be on you bike at the starting times. This ride is not supported by any organization, or individual.
