Michigan Kappa Club Annual “2013 End of Summer” Cruise – Sunday 10-20-2013 Noon-5 p.m.
________________________________________
Come Join the Kappa's on the Annual “2013 End of Summer” Cruise, hosted by the Doc’s (Radio and X-Ray).
A beautiful 125 mile ride from Plymouth, MI to Dexter, MI. Lots of winding, tree-lined roads. About one-third of the route is new roads as compared to prior years! Expect Autumn Colors. The ride will proceed along the Huron River and through the Waterloo Recreation Area.
Ride will proceed rain or shine, top up or top down. If snow, call for update!
The ride will be of the parade/caravan type. Turn-by-turn directions will be provided. Two scheduled 15 minute breaks will occur during the ride.
The ride will conclude at Aubree’s Grill in Dexter, MI about 4:30 p.m. A menu can be viewed online at Home | Aubree's. The shared private function room has been reserved and the general menu will be available. Names will be drawn at dinner for prizes.
If any non-MKC members wish to join the ride, please E-mail Jim at [email protected] to ensure restaurant accommodations, door prizes and enough written materials.
Driving Directions to the Point of Origin:
Plymouth Township Park
46640 Ann Arbor Trail
Plymouth, MI 48170
From Westbound M-14: Exit 18 - Beck Road
Turn left (South) and proceed 1.5 mi to Ann Arbor Trail (Traffic Light) where you will turn left and then proceed 0.5 miles to Plymouth Township Park. Turn left to enter the park. (The site of origin of many of Turbo Mike's rides.)
From Eastbound M-14: Exit 18 - Beck Road
Turn right (South) and proceed 1.2 mi to Ann Arbor Trail (Traffic Light) where you will turn left and then proceed 0.5 miles to Plymouth Township Park. Turn left to enter the park. (The site of origin of many of Turbo Mike's rides.)
I know many have had difficulty finding the Park in the past due to GPS units taking you to a non-existent location. If your GPS allows, you may enter the following Latitude and Longitude points.
Latitude:
42.367173 or 42 Hrs, 22 min, 1.8228 secs.
Longitude:
-83.500605 or (-)83 Hrs, 30 min, 2.1774 secs.
There WILL be bathroom facilities at the point of origin. A McDonalds restaurant and Shell Gas station are located North of the freeway at exit 18, within 0.8 miles, at Five mile road.
RUN GUIDELINES:
1. Arrive BEFORE Noon, with a FULL tank, and an EMPTY bladder.
2. Use your turn signal so everyone in the caravan can anticipate the turns.
3. Stay in close proximity to the car ahead, so no one gets separated from the group.
4. Two-way radios will be used. About ten loaner radios are available for use by those who need one.
5. The speed limit will be observed (and occasionally adhered to, particularly in town or congested/residential areas.)
6. Collector points will follow any instances where we may momentarily become separated.
7. Solo drivers are invited to drive mid-pack, so as to be less dependent on written directions.
8. A Waiver of Liability will be available for your signature prior to receiving your "Directions Packet".
9. Organizer Cell numbers for any concerns prior to or during the ride: Jim-734.612.5400 Carter-248.231.1031
