71 degrees in late October?! You practically have to ride when it’s that nice out, this late in the season, here in Michigan. Ten of us took advantage of summer’s last hurrah at the FMC’s final scheduled dinner ride of the year.

Ride Recap 2022-08-09: Big Dip Burgers (Walled Lake, MI)
With half of Livingston County under construction, I decided to create a route a little further east of our usual haunts. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the West Bloomfield area, so I cherry picked some of the better roads around there and threw something together.

On a hot and muggy evening, ~13 brave riders showed up at the FMC north location.

It seems I’ve got a penchant for attracting attention. I may not have broken the all-time attendance record, but I think I did set it for number of new club members and guests — we had a whopping four riders on their maiden voyage with the FMC, plus 17 seasoned vets, for a total of 21 motorcyclists.

Great riding weather, 69° to start, barely in the 60’s when dinner was over. 4 riders confirmed, but when KSU hit, we were up to 10 riders. We traveled 50 miles in 87 minutes, which was quicker than I expected.

A nice casual ride on a warm day in early May. “It would be fun,” they said.

The I-275 construction project is gonna be a big topic for this year’s season. Our singular, central meetup spot has become two: one north and one south. The previous week, Charles led the club on a ride departing from the north meetup, so I chose to trial run the south – the BP station at Haggerty and Ecorse.

Our days are getting shorter and the evenings are getting colder, but with a little creativity we can still manage to have a few nice rides in the 2021 riding season!

I worked up a draft of this ride back in May, then let it sit for a while as I hoped that I’d be able to get out on a weekend to polish it up and maybe find some new roads. As often happens, life got in the way and I found myself staring at the route on the Friday before the ride.
Ride Recap 2021-07-28: Mill Creek Park Amphitheatre (Dexter, MI)
Someone seems to have switched July and May’s weather this year, giving us tons of thunderstorms all throughout July and threatening more than one of the month’s few dinner rides. With Thursday evening’s forecast looking damp, I pulled the ride ahead to Wednesday night and was glad to see a dozen riders still able to make it.
