Welcome to the June issue of Thunder Roads Michigan!

We are absolutely blown away by the incredible response to the Ride n’ Win contest this year. Since relaunching the registration sign-ups in April, the numbers have been off the charts. It is amazing to see so many of you getting involved and gearing up for what is going to be an unforgettable riding season. Michigan Rally season is officially upon us, and the energy across the state is electric!

As much as we love being out on the road with all of you, bringing this magazine together sometimes keeps us tied to the desk. Unfortunately, we had to miss the Baldwin Blessing this year to ensure we hit our print deadline for this very June issue. It is always tough to miss such a staple event in our community, but getting these pages into your hands on time is a priority we don’t take lightly.

The good news is that our calendars are packed for the rest of the season. We absolutely cannot wait to see everyone at all the future events and all the bike nights we can squeeze in. Plus, all of the rides we have lined up this year. Getting out there and sharing the road with you is exactly why we do what we do.

Before I sign off, I need to take a personal point of privilege to send a huge Happy Birthday to Aly! I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for everything she does for me, the magazine, for the community, and for all of us together. I promise to make your monumental birthday an incredibly memorable one my love, but the details of our getaway to have to remain a closely guarded secret! If you see her out and about… please wish her a happy birthday!

Summer is here. More miles, more smiles!!!

Ride safe,

~ RJ
