  • Start

    August 15, 2018

  • Schedule
    9 sessions
  • Location
    Zukey Lake Tavern, 5011 Girard Drive, Pinckney, MI

  Meet at 5:00 pm at the Zukey Lake Tavern parking lot. We’ve been given permission to park at the far end of the lot-- just as you enter off Girard, and before the first speed bump, (with the assumption that most of us will stay to enjoy refreshments and live music after the ride.)

  We will first pedal east to Hamburg Road then turn back pedaling west, where we'll pass through the Zukey parking lot again at 5:30 and pick up folks who can’t make it there by 5:00, or those who want a shorter ride. From there we'll ride to the end of the paved trail west of Pinckney before returning to Zukey. The full ride is 17 miles round trip on the paved, predominately flat trail; the shorter ride is 12 miles.  

  Many of us work farther away and getting there even by 5:30 is a challenge.  For those dedicated folks, just get there as early as you can, start pedaling west, and meet the rest of us on our way back.  We chose the early start for the better chance at getting seats on  the roof-top deck at the tavern, where many of us go following the ride for refreshments and live music.  Joe Knopp leads this recurring Wednesday evening event.

  Volunteers Needed for Annual Corn Roast

  Alan Osterdale is our 63th Corn Czar.  All hail Alan!   Alan is leading a CR organizing kickoff conclave at a club favorite happy hour venue at a happy hour!  Combine business with pleasure and join this vital club activity.  That is, building the club by building a better Corn Roast.

  • Advertising (building and spreading flyers)
  • Setup
  • Front Table Hospitality
  • Membership Sign-Up and Questions
  • Corn Roasting & Food organizing
  • Hourly Clean-up

  The Corn Roast, our biggest event and the kick-off to a new season, requires many volunteers to pull off.  For those experienced working a previous CR consider volunteering again.  Your knowledge is invaluable.  Yet, CR virgins need not be afraid!  The tasks are well defined and the team-building is fun.  Plus, one of the grey-heads will help you through it!
