CRUISE FAQ/CHEAT SHEET

1.When and where is the cruise?
Cruise is scheduled to begin at 8:30AM on Saturday, July 30th. Location will be the Starbucks in Vernon Hills at Milwaukee and Half Day Road. NOTE: WE ARE LEAVING AT 8:30AM. PLEASE ARRIVE BY 8AM IF POSSIBLE. We expect to touch down at the Milwaukee Art Mueseum at 10:30AM. Photos will be taken and we will continue North to Road America!

2. How many days is the cruise? What if I want to stay overnight?
Cruise is not a two day event unless you want it to be. I am unfamilar with the area near Elkhart Lake, so I cannot provide information regarding lodging.

3. What is the time and approximate mileage of the cruise?
This cruise will be consistent with past cruises organized. We will be covering approximately 250 miles of road and a whopping 5 hours of seat time. Of those 250 miles, I can guarantee you that a good portion of them will be backroads and scenic blasts through the Wisconsin forrest and countryside.

4. What is the 1st Check Point?
Checkpoint 1: We will be launching from the Chicago meet point at the Starbucks in Vernon Hills at Milwaukee and Half Day Road.

5. What is the 2nd Check Point?

6. Misc. Check Points
Misc: We will stop in multiple places along the Kettle Moraine Scenic drive for photo opportunities.

7. What is the 3rd Check Point?

All are welcome. Cruise is open to all makes and models.

10. What about photos and videos?
Photo and Video encouraged. We will stop where available to take group photos.

11. What do I need to bring at start of cruise?
Full tank of gas. Any fluids you may need. I'd like to avoid stops so we can keep a good pace.

PLEASE INDICATE BELOW IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING FOR HEADCOUNT PURPOSES!


Date and Time:
Saturday, July 30th.


The Meet Point:
Starbucks
Milwaukee and Half Day Road
Vernon Hills, IL

Milwaukee Art Museum
Milwaukee, WI

The Route:
The route has been expanded to increase seat time, increase route options, and increase fun. This cruise is a drivers cruise. If you do not think you will enjoy spirited driving and canyon carving atmosphere, please rethink attending. The route is very tricky, with many blind switchbacks, hill climbs, sweeping turns, and downhill sprints. The majority of the roads are very lightly traversed, so the road quality is typically very good and minimal traffic with the exception of motorcycles. We encourage all who attend to be safe but to have fun. Please obey all signage and safety concerns.


The Weather:
Cruise will be weather dependent as always.
