Post-Blessing of the Jeeps 2023 Trail Ride

This trail ride will be leaving during the Blessing of the Jeeps Event. The biggest thing you may miss by attending this ride is the raffle drawings at the very end of the Blessing. We won't be leaving until after the actual blessing has taken place at 11 AM, and everyone has had a chance to walk around the venue and experience the Blessing Event. With that said, the route for our ride will ultimately end up back towards the Grand Rapids area. The beginning will be VERY scenic, and we will snake our way south throughout a variety of trails. This should be an easy ride, but you never know what conditions lie ahead on  the trails. This should be a very fun run. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A GRAND RAPIDS JEEP CLUB SPECIFIC TRAIL RIDE. TICKETS PER PERSON MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE WEBSITE IN ORDER TO ATTEND. WE CAN HAVE NO MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP. If there is enough interest in this ride, we will try to organize a 2nd group for a different set of trails. Please read the notes at the bottom of this description for more detailed information on the 20 person rule.

Meetup Location: (44.408732, -85.700001) - At the back of the parking area of the event, near the exit to the East where it meets N 13 Road (M37).

Driver's Meeting: 1:00 PM, and leaving promptly afterwards. (Please arrive early.)

GMRS Radios are not required, but very highly recommended.
