June 16th - 19/20th

Glad to hear Jeremy. I know you were frustrated with the voucher deal last year.  We just need to make sure everyone is accounted for and gets a voucher.  It gets a little hectic, like it did last year, but as long as we all look out for each other, we can make sure no one gets left behind.

It means we need a base plan.

Last year was quite a bit busier than normal because it was "heroes on the dunes"  weekend.

So this is what I have started based on suggestions of others to help coordinate and get the group a little more organized. Everyone hoped to help get some more time as a group. Thanks Marc and Jamie for your input. Any other thoughts to add or suggestions?


 

Silver Lake .ORG Roundup   2016

Where:
Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Mears MI.
Most are staying at Silver Sands Hotel
Camping and Other Hotel locations also available
Meet ups and campfires at night at Marc’s (silverlake250r) cabin. Located directly next to Silver Lake Hotel

When:
June 16-19 2016
Early birds are meeting at the Silver Sands Hotel at 9am on Thursday the 16th.

Meet Ups:
Parking Vouchers: You can get them early on Friday Morning for the weekend. Gathering 4 guys in one vehicle is allowed to get 4 separate vouchers. Timing for this would be important. If you miss the early vouchers you need to go on the waiting list. That sucks.
Parking Together: It would be nice to get everyone to get in line around the same time. This may be a logistical nightmare. However, if we can pull it off it would be worth it. Reason being is that the parking lot is now filled like a concert venue parking. You cannot pick where you want to park. They will cattle you into the next available spot. It would be better if we were all in the same rows or at least close to each other.
Pictures: We should pick specific times each day to get whole group pictures on the dunes. Most missed it last year and there was no communication. Something like every day at 1pm and/or sunset. Easy to remember and everyone will show up.
Drag strip: Would be nice to get all the R’s to take over (and dominate) the strip for a while…
Daily Rides: Marc suggested daily meet ups for group rides. Meeting on top of Test Hill may be the easiest location to meet up. We could do as many as we want, or none at all.
11:00am. Morning Meet Up
2:00am.  After Lunch Blast
7:00pm. Sunset Run. (always my favorite)
All Night Uncle Marc’s Beer Bong Bungalow… Enough said. Sky suggests you bring fireball as a host gift.

Breaking Stuff: Everyone is here to help everyone else. If you need something ask.

Eating: Suggested but not mandatory.
PM Drinking is most important.
Lunch- Grills run in the dunes parking lot during the day. Jamie Greenman is the grill master. He loves helping others. Bring your own food.
Dinner options are: Sands Restaurant (or any), Grilling in the hotel parking lot area. Many hang there or at Marc’s

Other suggestions?
Pot luck type of dinner one night? Hard to make happen but might be good for meeting everyone
Contests?  fastest, most broke, cleanest, farthest jump, first to turn in, longest wheelie,

Hey guys.  For those who don't know my name is Joel.  First off I'd like to say that last year a few of us decided to have our families come up on Saturday and that is part of why there was a lack of "groupness". Some of us kept to ourselves and families during the day on Saturday. Well that isn't going to happen this year.  I still have a strong memory of a rush of adrenaline from the first year when I pulled up to where everyone was hanging out by the drag strip. Everyone was meeting each other, lining up,  checking out bikes ect. Nothing gets me going more than competing against another 250r.  I would like to think we can recreate this for new guys as well as for regulars.

Unfortunately I have one of the busiest work weeks this week of the year. I hope to at least only work a half day on Friday and would love to see a bunch of us riding Friday afternoon into the evening.  It doesn't get dark here till 9:30 or later. Doug is taking our trailer and parking it at Marc's again so I'm sure we'll see everyone at night. On Saturday I'd like to form a meet up spot in the dunes. Not that anyone has to meet but I think it would be great to have a common area that if you lose your group or want to join/start another there will be a place that more than likely people will be. I hope that this would promote groupness and help those who may be coming by themselves or are new to silver Lake. I'll post below a picture of where I'll be parked. I have a silver 4 door Chevy and  red and orange bikes.  I'll have a shade tent set up and I'll be grilling dogs and brats for anyone who wants some around noon. I'll try have some refreshments as well. Some of you are coming from a long way and I want to try to help everyone to really enjoy the trip.  I'm not the boss here,  I'm just try to promote a good time.

The red dot in the above picture marks where a few of us will be for sure. Feel free to join in.  It is right in the "old"  drag strip which has been to wet for many years. We were here a month ago and it was flat and dry.  There should be plenty of room,  see you all soon.
