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)
