    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey everyone. I'm planning on a trip around lake michigan. Starting out of west michigan and heading north through u.p. and over to wisconsin. Down to Chicago area and then back up to home in west michigan. Anyone have any suggestions of places to stop at or certain areas to ride through? Still trying to convince my wife to go, I'm going either way though.:D
 
Muskegon..!

Hi (I am about 20 miles south).

Is another GSRer in Muskegon (greg78gs750). Last year we got together for ride on River Road(s) from Muskegon to Newyago. I havent been so adventerous this year.

I suppose you know about M-22.
I cant add much about UP or Wisconson.

Oh, maybe look for the Galena ride in late Sept (or is it early October). THat is SW Wisconson, NW Illinois. Might be a bit out of your intended route/distance, but sort of over there where you are intending to go.

I did this trip by bicycle a few years ago. That's quite a bit different, one hour on a motorcycle equals one day of cycling. My favorite road on that trip was along the blue star highway in SW michigan. If you can detour up the Leelanau peninsula, its also worth the extra time.

Around Chicago, hwy 45 is cool, and when you get into the burbs Sheridan Road is quite a trip.
 
Coming down thru WI, go between Lake Winnebago and Michigan. Kettle Moraine country is full of good roads

General note on WI roads - take the county roads, which are letters (C, FF, etc) just go in the general direction you want to head and turn on another county road to continue (south, then east)

Even better, go across the M bridge and into Canada, go around Lake Superior, MN, northern W and take the Badger back across the lake. Then, you can avoid Chicago
