July-August Events

Summer summer summer… like a merry-go-round.  Looking ahead the next few months, in July we have our annual 4th of July outing to Duke’s Off-Road Ranch, which is on the weekend of July 7th since the 4th falls in the middle of the week.  If you’ve never been, Duke’s is private property and we don’t publish the location, so post in the forum if you’re interested in going.  The holiday and Duke’s outing pushes our regular meeting back to July 14th, which is a cruise-in at Lou’s Drive-In in Peoria.  They do have one in East Peoria at the old Sonic on Washington, but we’ll be at the original location.  That’ll be at 6pm.  The following weekend on July 21st we’ve got a trip planned to the Hillbillie Ranch in Jerseyville, Illinois.

We’re off on July 28th, so you’ll have to keep yourself busy that weekend, but we return August 4th for another cruise/meeting in Bartonville at the Dream Hut.  August 11th is a trip to perennial MIJC favorite The Badlands in Attica, Indiana, and the 18th is the tentative day for the MIJC Picnic & Hog Eat at the Stearnes’ home in Pekin.  Peeking ahead just a little further, Labor Day weekend has our usual trip to Land Between The Lakes.  As with all outings, watch the forum for group travel and lodging plans.

The weather’s nice… get out and do some wheeling!
