Michigan Valhalla Voyage

May17th-May21st

·        Michigan will be receiving the Valhalla Voyage Tankards from Adrian and the Canadian Chapter in International Flag Park in Port Huron on Saturday morning May 17^th at 10:00am    

·        The Southeast Michigan Chapter will accept the tankards and ride with them throughout the Michigan Madness ride event…Bill Bunker has arranged the Michigan Madness event …we will be leaving from the International (Lighthouse Park) in Port Huron at approximately 11am…we will ride for around 45-60 minutes ending at The Dorsey House Restaurant …6008 Beard Rd…Clyde Mi. 48049…where we will have a luncheon and a short State meeting …after the meeting Gary House (Stitch) will take the Tankards on to the Grand Rapids area…

·        On Sunday morning a delegation from the Grand Rapids Chapter will bring the Tankards to Lansing and the Capital City Chapter will receive them at 12:00 noon…Hopefully all the State Chapters will then meet in front of the State Capital building in downtown Lansing for a group photo before heading to a local restaurant for lunch…

·        A note from Gary Swan our Capital City Chapter leader….On Sunday, May 18th, lets meet at the Speedway gas station in Lansing on the corner of Martin Luther King (MLK) and Bishop Rd.  Take Exit # 101 off from I-96 and go south just a couple of blocks.  The Speedway station is on the right, next to McDonald's.  Let's plan on meeting there at 11:30 a.m.  This will give you an opportunity to top off your tanks and we can all ride to the Capitol together.  We will spend about an hour at the Capitol and then ride about a mile to Leo's Outpost for lunch www.leosoutpost.com .  After lunch, we will jump on I-96 (right next to Leo's) and head west to M-100.  We can go north on M-100 to M-57 by Carson City.  West on M-57 where I will leave you at 127 and you can go on to Saginaw or Frankenmuth, whatever your destination is.  Also, I would appreciate it if you could let me know how many people you think will be coming from your Chapters, so I can give the restaurant a heads up.  Need that info asap.  Thanks!                                                          

·        On Tuesday morning May 20^th the Michigan delegation (whoever wishes to ride for the Wisconsin hand-off) will meet in the Tri-City area at 10:00am and ride to Northern Michigan …where we plan on spending the night before handing off the Tankards on Wednesday

·        On Wednesday May 21^st the Michigan Delegation will meet up with the Wisconsin delegation at the Park in Escanaba Michigan at around 2:00pm. We will hand off the Tankards before starting our return trip to the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

I hope we have a good turn out for this event…and I want to thank all the folks that have helped put this together. All the local Chapter Leaders along with Bill Bunker…Merlin and his brother Bob…Adrian the Canadian Rep. and Steve (Black Dog) the Wisconsin delegate…
