Official TCG Tour 2022 Thread (August 12th-15th)

[Mook]

Hanging brain is a rite of passage.

Nccstud passenger seat in the shitbox will be open as long as you can stand kicking around the ecu. Might even church it up and get a radio for this year.. god forbid a complete interior

Did you book?

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

As of now I’m officially out for this year. Bummed

 

[PANDA]

No longer a hidden gem, Pictured Rocks inundated with record tourists

Trails are overrun. Staircases crumbled. Septic systems failed. Widespread littering. Human waste issues reported in the backcountry.

Not good for TCG Tour...

I was just speaking with Mook about this last night, but hopefully gas prices remain somewhat normal for this

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Gonna make me rethink to bringing the cruiser instead.... 40+mpg. Max speed is 87mph, so no one is going to see any kind of serious shit.

 

[Bru]

Maybe our activity up there is a Gambler-like trail cleanup. Not the human waste, just the littering. I clean up enough human waste at home.

What's normal? Id say if prices keep going up at the rate they are we probably will be seeing $7 a gallon come TCG Tour.

Right now premium is about $5.25-$5.50 between the state line and northwoods along i39/90/51.

Yeah no clue what normal is, probably where it is at right now. But things could get really out of fucking control, like approaching $10 out of control.

 

[PANDA]

I think $10 is where myself and others might draw the line and cut back on the non-necessary driving.

 

[Nccstud]

Won't be going this year. I'm gone like every Saturday this summer. Still trying to do a hang out/fire party, but that might have to be labor day weekend or something at this point

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Still going.


But this time the only thing screaming triple caution might be greasy fuel gauge.

 

[PANDA]

Does anyone have any dinner suggestions in downtown Hancock? Would prefer walking distance from the Saturday hotel.

I asked my sled buddy for suggestions, and asked him to reach out to his friends. Pretty sure he's been up to Hancock/Houghton area before.

I have been to the area a lot riding also just looking for personal experience. I guess we could walk across the bridge and go to Keweenaw Brewing Company.

That's what I was asking him, staying in town, whether during the sledding season, or in the off season. He said he's been there a few times in the past, but the only places he'd recommend have long since closed. It was worth a shot.

Keweenaw Brewing Company

Do they have garlic popcorn like the place in Grand Marais (Superior Brewing?)?????

 

[PANDA]

If you guys haven't already I would call the hotels and confirm your reservations.

I am pretty sure we had someone last tour that didn't actually book a room or did it through a 3rd party website and it didn't work or something.

 

[Angela@KRWINS]

Are shirts being ordered this year?

 

[Mook]

They are not.

I am not going on the tour and it's been years since I have been to Houghton, but I used to go with my friends to watch the Rally races LSPR. Last I remember Keweenaw brewing was cool but I don't recall them having food, but they had a pizza place next door that you can call and they will deliver it there and you can eat it there, unless that has changed. There is also the Library right down the street from there as well, that is an actual restaurant/Bar that you was fairly decent.

 

[PANDA]

They are not.

I see how it is greasy

 

[Mook]

Considering we leave in like two weeks lol

 

[PANDA]

I need to get the day 3 route posted lol

 

[greasy]

I see how it is greasy

I’ll admit I’ve slept on this. I could have used an earlier reminder. I can still create something but more than likely it won’t be ready before tour
