Welcome to the MHS FSS CC Shoreline West 2022 Blog!

In August 2022, my great high school friend, Ron P., and I will be embarking on a 350 mile cycling journey along the western shoreline of Michigan from Montague to Mackinaw City.  Much of the ride will be adjacent to Lake Michigan. Ron and I graduated from Muncy (PA) High School (MHS) in 1981. We formed a DJ business in high school called Fantasy Sound Systems (FSS) along with another great friend.  We DJ'ed many dances at our high school and other schools.  41 years later, Ron & I formed the MHS FSS Cycling Club . This is our inaugural adventure. Thanks for joining us!    - John K.
