After three days of some of the most incredible riding you've ever done in your life, you may find it hard to believe that you just might be anxious to pull yourself out of the water.

Near our journeys end, we come off of Lake Michigan and enter into Lake Macatawa. During the last 4 miles of our trip, we'll experience a little "inland lake" water as we dart toward Dutton Park Boat Launch at the east end of the lake.   Please follow the water marshalls and do not run ahead.  There are no wake zones we must respect.

We will be welcomed by our Land Support Crew, including our Baggage Support Crew. They will have your gas cans, your oil, and your personal luggage spread out for your convenience and retrieval.

Once you obtain the keys to your vehicle, parked a very short distance away from the boat ramp, you will pull your watercraft from the water.

In celebration of our accomplishment, the participants are encouraged to stay for an afternoon barbeque, hosted by the Holland Lions Club.

Afterwards, with your watercraft and personal belongings in tow, you will drive a short 3 miles to the DoubleTree Inn. After check in, you are free to enjoy the rest of the afternoon as you wish. This might mean a dip in the heated indoor pool, a soak in the hot tub, or simply take a well-deserved nap! Whatever you decide to do, don't forget our Grand Tour Banquet at 7:00pm at the DoubleTree Inn Banquet Center!

Eppley Fundraiser in Ohio - Monday, May 16, 2011

A special "Thank You" goes out to riders Barb & Dean!  They ran another successful fund raiser for the Grand Tour this past weekend with help from riders Mary Lyn & Jim.  A portion of Barb's report is posted here:

"The rain was horrible but we made it through.  We had about 75 people.  Not as much as we expected.  There are pix's out there and I hope to be getting some soon.   The fire works, food and band we great!   The bird (chicken s**t bingo) did his job!...  Mary Lyn and Jim were a great help and with out them it would not have gone as  smoothly.  We are still collecting donations.  ...So better than last year!"
