  We'll ride the path to (and within) Hudson Mills Metropark, then back.  We ride at a variety of speeds and your turn-around is the halfway point, which can vary among riders.

  The Mill Creek Park North meeting place is part of the Border-to-Border trail, a place where everyone agrees there is no crisis.  Be calm and pedal on!

  On a weekly basis we'll elect a nearby restaurant for dinner and beverages, to come after the ride.  Save us a table Mr. Early Turn!

  

  One wheel is cool too!

  The Invasion

  Happy Hour Dancing at LIVE goes from September through May.  A rotation of house bands and an occasional guest play soulful funky rockin' dance music from a certain era, often performed by a certain era! 

  6:30 - 9:00 PM every Friday
  No cover
  Happy hour prices
  Warning!   No draft bar
  Support the band when they pass the pitcher
  Talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation!
  

  Consider starting with a club favorite on the first Friday when FUBAR rocks the house.   But, you'll find many members most Fridays enjoying top-notch live bands at this venue September through May.

  You don't have to dance to enjoy these fine performers.  Toe-tapping is almost as good for your heart and just as good for your soul.

  Regarding hosts, so many members and friends*, including many on the Social Committee, make this a weekly event so it is officially un-hosted.  First booth on the left as you enter is typically where you'll find about half our contingent.  The remainder are on the dance floor or close by.  Who can't like that!?

  See The Ohio You Never Knew Existed

  Including a 65 foot waterfall!

  
  

  Hosts: Greg Robertson and TBD
      

  Whether you follow, on your bike, the steps of 19th century mules along the  Ohio & Erie Canal towpath, or hike the park’s forested trails among waterfalls, outcropped bedrock, and creatures of the wild you’re bound to love Cuyahoga Valley National Park, (CUVA.)

  Cuyahoga is one of just three National Parks in the Great Lakes Basin.
  The other two are Isle Royale and Indiana Dunes.
  

  

  The tow path is crushed limestone, but quite suitable for road bikes and there are also scenic paved paths connecting CUVA to Cleveland Metroparks.

  Hikers are offered many excellent destinations.  First are the Cuyahoga  Valley waterfalls.  Three of the most scenic are within the park, starting with 65' high Brandywine Falls.

  Cuyahoga Valley is home to approximately 100 waterfalls.  Blue Hen and Buttermilk waterfalls are two more popular hike destinations.
  

  
  

  And, the valley views and sights of massive moss-covered exposed bedrock along The Ledges trail are beautiful and fascinating.

  

  But also!  Great Blue Heron colonies breed in the park every Spring and the sight of these large birds performing mating rituals and nesting is unforgettable.

  May is a busy month, when adult birds can be observed bringing food to the growing nestlings.
  

  
  

  This trip includes;
  

  • Pre-party
  • Two nights lodging at the Holiday Inn Express in Richfield
  • Two breakfasts
  • Welcome party  on Friday night; pizza, wine, and beer

  Cost

  CUVA Trip	Single Occupancy	Double Occupancy
  Member	$225	$135

  The information below is from Jim Millman, the Activities Director for both the Livonia Ski Club and the Metropolitan Detroit Ski Council, (MDSC.)  Both of our clubs are MDSC members.

  Following the tour we plan on going to a nearby restaurant for lunch and drinks. 

  Free parking anywhere in Lansing on Saturdays. Enter at the front of the Capitol Building at the east wing under the stairs. There is no fee for this guided tour.

  We can car pool and we can invite friends and
  relatives. I just need to know who is coming so
  I can give a headcount a week ahead. 

  RSVP to me by e-mail or phone (use club website directory) ASAP!

  If there is a large response (over 40 people) a second guided tour at 11:00 AM will become necessary.   And, more than one restaurant would be needed.

  I'm open for restaurant(s) suggestions
  as soon as
  convenient  so
  reservations can be made

  10:30 SHARP!! Compadres
