The weather was not entirely cooperative; it was cold and there were patches of rain, but the dedication prevailed and everyone had a good ride…except for that one point where Gee dumped a tube of oil into his tank and pretty much fouled a plug immediately.

After getting back to Lansing, everyone had some hot beverages, then went to dinner at Midtown Brewing Company. (PROTIP: Nutty Bars are for STAFF ONLY!)

After dinner, KMR packed the rest of their stuff into Chad’s truck and after wedging Dennis in the back seat, headed back to Kalamazoo.
