After returning to our cars, and loading our bikes, we’ll gather on the roof-top deck at Zukey Lake Tavern for apres-pedal refreshments and socializing.
Meet at 2:00 PM on Wednesday afternoons all summer at the Zukey Lake Tavern parking lot (5011 Girard Drive, Pinckney, MI). We've been given permission to park our cars at the far end of the parking 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 after the ride.
We'll pedal east to Whitmore Lake Road, then turn back, pedaling west to the end of the paved trail before returning to the parking lot (a total of about 23 miles round trip on the paved, predominately flat trail).
After returning to our cars, and loading our bikes, we'll gather on the roof-top deck at Zukey Lake Tavern for apres-pedal refreshments and socializing. NOTE: There's no live music on the deck, this year, but plenty of smiles. . .
The Details
We play a casual and friendly 5-round game with a different partner for each round.
Euchre season begins again in just 3.5 weeks! Due to a number of factors, attendance is now largely comprised of non-club members. This was never the intent of our Euchre event; it was always intended to be a fun evening of camaraderie and socializing around a friendly and casual game of cards where one could meet fellow members who also enjoy the game.
Starting Sept 20, Euchre Night will be a Members Only event held in my home, with a new buy-in price of $5. I will provide some very light snacks, but please eat dinner before arriving and BYOB. Please plan to pay your $5 at the door and bring quarters for euchres.
Due to space, we are limited to 19 players (4 tables w/3 sitting out per game) with sign-ups on the website beginning 2 weeks before the event. There will also be a waitlist if it is full when you try to sign up.
Please be courteous to others by cancelling your sign-up ASAP if you cannot make it; by doing so, the next person on the waitlist will automatically be moved onto the player list.
Let’s play cards!

Fun for everyone. If you just want to relax in a pool, play games, go for a walk, go for a long hike, see the sites, ride a train, bike 5 miles or over 30 miles: This is the trip for you.
Lodging: We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express, Richfield, OH where there is a pool. An area for us to just relax, a recreation center to play games and a fitness center. Then beautiful sites to see.
Whether you bike the old tow path from the Ohio & Erie Canal or hike the park’s beautiful trails, you’re bound to love Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The tow path is crushed limestone, but quite suitable for road bikes. There are also paved scenic paths connecting to the Cleveland Metroparks.
Hiking offers a variety of choices. You can hike to a number of waterfalls or enjoy the scenic rock formations along “the Ledges” trail. In the spring, the Heron also nest in the park and the sight is amazing.
The trip includes:
Member Cost:
* A 3.00% Electronic Payment Processing Fee will be added to each transaction.
There are 20 rooms reserved (12 with two Queens; 8 with one King).

PEDAL ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN
Come join us on a fun bike ride this summer: Saturday, June 20 – Friday, June 26, 2026
The cost is only $210 for adults. With your meals add $130.
The 2026 route: Pentwater, Montague, White Cloud, Evart, Houghton Lake, Hale, Oscoda
Cost includes: SAG (support and gear) service, overnight facility uses for tent camping with showers and bathrooms, transport of luggage between sites, road markings and GPS cues for routes, daily watermelon stops, bicycle education, and children's activities!
The ride is 30‑60 miles per day for six days. The tour is limited to 700 participants.
Pedal Across Lower Michigan begins near Lake Michigan and meanders east, passing scenic, cultural, and historic sites. Many attractions will lure you from your bicycle – and you will have plenty of time to enjoy them. The route, which changes each year, generally avoids major urban areas. Sometimes a small downtown may be included for special interest, or for finding lunch or a snack. We use paved routes geared to the novice and intermediate touring rider. The daily distances and terrain combine to make PALM well suited to family bicycling. Some people bring their own sag and campers. Others stay in hotels along the way. This is a fun way to experience, see Michigan and get some exercise.
Let us know if you will come on this trip. You can register directly here: https://palmbiketour.org/
