From the Yahoo Group page which appears to be having some issues. Website here http://lakeerieloop.com/ (Doesn't appear updated, but entry form and fees are probably the same) Group Description In 2003, Bill Murar, a career firefighter/paramedic, rode over 12,000 miles on a four corners tour of the US to raise much needed cash for the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Foundation. Many of these miles were ridden on a 1965 Sears 106SS motorcycle. This site is set up to inform people of the continuing fundraising efforts for pediatric burn victims by Bill and his wife, Joyce, a Registered Nurse. These efforts center around an annual motorcycle, moped and scooter endurance run, The Lake Erie Loop. The next Lake Erie Loop will take place the weekend of June 20-22, 2014. The ride will originate in NE Ohio, head west through Detroit, Mich. and Windsor, Ont. into Canada, east through Fort Erie and back into the US into Buffalo, NY, then back. Or, you can do it going the other way! 650 miles in a day!!! Not only can you help the burned kids by entering this ride, you can also put a few dollars in your own pocket. Read over the registration form in the files section to see how. Money paid to 1,2 & 3 of each class except Tourist. 50/50 split of the entry fees. From the website:http://lakeerieloop.com/rideinfo.html The bikes will be divided into four classes; =Unlimited 50's - if it started life as a 50cc it's eligible and vintage bikes up to 110cc. =125's - up to 125cc and vintage bikes up to 160cc. =200's - up to 200cc, any Cushman style scooter with a stock based motor (no Cushman hybrids) and vintage bikes up to 225cc. =Moped Class. It MUST have pedals. =Tourist class - any size, any bike. There will be no authorized competition in this class, it's a fun run only. A review of the event from 2008: http://www.coffeericeandbeans.com/print/Loop.html Some additional info: Bikes depart at 6:00. Sunrise is 5:53 AM. You can go either direction around the lake. Sunset at 9:04 PM. That over 15 hours of daylight to get yourself 650 miles. I will update the thread as people commit. (or get committed!) I'm wanting to do this. Last year it was the same weekend as OR Gap. Only questions for me are one/two up and on what? Aprilia RS125 2 stroke or Honda SH150i 4 stroke scooter. Most likely on the scooter and two up with Kristi. Anyone else out there dumb enough to join along? 1. TurnOne (Me) 1. TurnOne's Sammich Maker (Kristi)

I hesitated to post this, simply because of what the format turned out to be, but eh... it's up to you if you participate (I personally will not be)... The Details: Saturday, September 20, 2014 Ride for Wings Poker run Starts at the Wet Spot Bar in Caledonia Ohio I don't have the dollar amounts, but it will be something like $25 per single, $30 with passenger. This will be a fairly typical poker run, with the pirates and booze. **ALL Proceed will directly benefit Wings of An Angel in Marion Ohio. The Story: Wings of an Angel helps children with special needs receive the therapies, services and equipment that are beneficial to their journey in life. The purpose and drive for Wings of an Angel comes from the personal experience with our angel in Heaven who benefited from such therapies and services. Experiencing firsthand the positive impact to families drives us to advocate for the children. I can personally attest to the "epic wonderfull-ness" of this organization.. even though it is still in its infancy. It was my ex brother in law who was the in home caretaker for a wonderful disabled boy, who saw what stresses were bore by the parents because of the lack of localized care, and financial assistance for special needs, and disabled children. Though that Child passed, his legacy is, indeed, carried on by his parents, who have struggled to start this organization for a few years now.
