100% paved route, 80%+ on rail-trail

East or west side start options! 

 Cross lower Michigan on 100% paved rail trails. Start in Bay City and ride from Holland back to Bay City, July 5-10.

The West side start in Muskegon and then bike from Bay City back to Muskegon, August 9-14!

This tour is designed for your safety, comfort and fun. 

We’ve planned this tour for those who want a paved experience on rail trails. You’ll ride most of the Pere Marquette and White Pine Trails, plus some short distances on county roads 

Muskegon Departure Date, designed for those west-siders and for those arriving via ferry!

Please pick whichever departure date fits your calendar. Our plan on both tours is to get the ‘busy work’ done early so you can concentrate on the great riding. This includes dipping of tires in Lake Michigan or Huron, and then the motor-coach ride across the state before you bicycle back to the start!

We’ve designed our routes to take advantage of as many rail-trails as possible. Final routes are expected to be over 85% on rail trail, the remainder focused on quiet country roads.
