TSE Michigan Road Trip/Picnic

TOUR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN
September 20th

Over the last week or so a few friends of mine have been organizing a long spirited drive through Michigan to see some of what our beautiful state has to offer. In an effort to make this a really great event we are trying to have a caravan of at least 20 people, the more the merrier. The details are as follows:

TSE Michigan is a driving event that covers around 90 miles of Michigan roads between Milford, Brighton, Pickney, Ann Arbor, and Livonia. We cover the route in a spirited fashion, stopping once for a short break and ending at a parks area to have some pizza, wings, chips, and soda.

Meeting up will begin at 9am and at 11am we start driving.

-Starting in W. Bloomfield
The large public parking lot in front of the Gamestop, near the rear of the Meijer Lot
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.548...,0.004128&z=19

-Ending at a picnic site in Livonia (Hines Road Parks)
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.343...,0.004128&z=19
There are other parking lots in the area that we have planned as backup just in case this one is full or closed on the day of the event.

-All makes/models welcome
-Please RSVP if you intend on attending
-Food will be funded by the whole group. If we have a decent sized group everyone can pitch $5-7 and we should be able to get a bunch of pizza, chicken, soda, etc.
-Feel free to PM me if you have any questions

OK so I ran the route today. Some changes have been made but everything is in order to avoid construction and road closures. Everything is on for tomorrow so make sure you are at the starting point before 10:40 as we will be assigning drive groups, leaders, and passing out maps. Here is the final roster that I have as of right now.

There will be at least 6 Subaru there. (legacys and sti)
also 2 NSX but picnic only

This is the last week before the event

ragingclue · 09-14-2009, 01:01 PM

*Pinckney

And why would you do it so early? The colors won't be in full effect for another month or so.... Huron River drive would be 10x better then....

richardg · 09-14-2009, 01:12 PM

The drive is going to be about 2-3 hours according to Google maps. With stops and everything its going to be around 1-1:30 before we start and set up and then we still have to get food. I figure it would go from about 10 (my realistic time of people showing up) until about 5-6 for the whole event.
