MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI

Dates: October 6-7, 2012
Meeting time/location: 9AM/Cub Foods-Woodbury
Destination: Duluth, MN/Superior, WI
Distance: ~400 miles roundtrip
Cost: $10/car
Registration: Mandatory online registration
Hotel: Best Western Bridgeview
415 Hammond Avenue
Superior, Wisconsin 54880
(715) 392-8174

Please view the provided link to register and pay for the event, and to check out the up-to-date registration list!

We have a block of rooms reserved for $115/night, please call the hotel directly to make your reservation. They will only be holding our block open for 30 days so please book now! After 30 days, you'll be on your own for reserving a room and/or finding a nearby vacancy; the area fills up fast during the fall. The block name is "car cruise"; be sure to specify you would like a poolside room! We have stayed at this hotel before and it's a blast with rooms that open up right into the pool area where shenanigans are guaranteed to go down (especially with Asshanson rolling solo). The hotel also features free breakfast, a hot tub, and free WiFi.

We will also be passing out the map packets as usual at the meeting spot the morning of the cruise; Rosey will also be providing electronic maps to those who would like them (we'll start a list closer to the cruise date). As always, the $10 fee per car goes towards the expenses of planning the cruise. None of the money goes into our pockets, any proceeds are donated directly to the site to help keep it running smoothly and also make sure we always have great dyno-day prizes for everyone!

I'm really looking forward to this one and expect it to be a great adventure as always! This is an all-ages event so everyone is welcome. Please also feel free to bring along a friend or your girlfriend/wife because these events are always fun for everyone! Remember, the fee is per car and not per person.

You MUST arrive by 9AM SHARP fully topped off, do not arrive then expect us to wait around while you go fill up.

E85 users
Plan accordingly to travel ~225 miles on your first tank of E85; fill up right before the meeting spot and carry a 5-gallon jug if needed.

Here is the closest station to the meeting place.



The closest one in duluth is 8 miles from the hotel.




Here is the closest BP to the meeting spot. If you want to top off with some good 93

Re: MitsuStyle Fall 2012 cruise - October 6 & 7 - Superior, WI

Just a little FYI. I know you guys like to drive through Jay Cooke State Park when you go up to that area. During the Duluth floods the curvy fun road through the park got washed away pretty good. I'm sure they are rebuilding it, but I'm not sure if it will be there in October or not. You'll want to check into that.

If you look at Google Maps, they have a chunk of that 210 road missing from there maps.

later,
Curt

Jay Cooke will not be included in this cruise due to the issues you mention plus some other issues we've encountered in the past.

I'm pretty sure I read that Jay Cooke was closed until further notice.

Called and booked a room. They said the group rate was not for poolside rooms though?
