NIOC Runs
 

Is there any runs on the chain this year? Other than the River Shiver.......

Something in May would be nice to kick off the 2013 season.....

Loop-the-Lakes June 2nd Sunday. Starting at Dockers in Fox Lake, IL for Brunch. Free Run. We will be sending emails and posting on the website.

should really bring back the chain o lakes thunder run ,,we used to do it in July or August and the weather was nice,,the loop the lakes also know as the Andy run is so early in the season and the weather is a hit or miss its kind of hard to plan,,

I agree guys. We need to put a summer run together on the chain.

Ya it would be a good time if things were brought back to the chain. seems like its all geared toward Lake Michigan now ( that would be the big pond) as all the high rollers call it. Hey pwrquest aint you got a picture of a big boat you can use as your avatar :lolhit:

Alright !! June 2nd is my 50th !!! Sounds good to me !!!

Agree on more Chain based events. Sure the Big Pond is nice, but it can also kick your a$$ and usually the ladies don't enjoy it (read: taking a beating) and they make it hard on us guys.....

We really think the chain is far too busy in the summer to have 65 boats for a Poker Run. Would create a lot of problems. The biggest being safety.

Really???

I respectfully disagree,,,
In the old days we allways did the runs on the chain,,we never really did much out on Lake Michigan until a couple of years ago and I cant recall any time we had any issues,,,are their guys out that think its a race and not a fun run?? sure,,but you will have that anywhere you go...

Just saying

And we are thinking that the river shiver is not a safety issue? That to me is a bigger problem then any run that might be put together in the summer on the chain. Furthermore 90% of club members boat on the chain and are aware of the chain being busy on a summer weekend. I really think that more runs should be considered on the chain. Also we would not have to wait until the day before to make sure the conditions are right to make sure all club attendees could make the run ... because let's face not all of us have the boats capable of handling the conditions of The Big Pond!
