I would be coming from Cincinnati and it looks like it takes about 4 and 1/2 hours to get there so if I leave here at 6 am I would probably get there around 10:30 am. What time does the group get to Memorial Park? Does the group take part in the cruise or just watch from the park? I would probably have to leave around 6 pm Saturday evening so I guess I need to decide if it's worth while as a day trip.
The day is completely up to you what you want to do. Usually we leave the hotel around 9am. It takes 45 minutes or so to get to our parking area. We run the Blvd from the Pontiac Loop down to 9th or 10th, then back up to 13th to enter the park. You are welcome to cruise all you want but the traffic gets pretty slow as the day goes on. Once parked, there is enough to do all day without taking your car with you. Most major manufacturers have displays in the area.
You really need to follow us up there on Friday and enjoy the event.
