  • ABOUT MICHIGANDER 2008 . . . . .

    Michigander is a tour ideal for hybrid, mountain bikes and a “new” road bike option. We have three options:

    1. 2-Day Weekend Tour;
    2. 6-Day Tour
    3. 7-Day Tour, July 12-18.

    It is a ride for everybody. Both experienced and beginner cyclists as well as kids from 8- to 86 years old have thoroughly enjoyed the Michigander adventure. It’s a family-friendly ride that includes camping, two meals provided every day, shuttle service for your baggage, support service, and rest stops. We’ll even shuttle you to the start point or shuttle you back to your vehicle at the ride’s end. The route will be on trails and low-traffic back roads in between the trails. The 35-60 mile days allow for lots of time.
