Northern Michigan is absolutely gorgeous in the summertime!  Join us for a stunning tour, as we bike excellent trails through majestic scenery.  This is a trip with water views every single day – streams, bays, rivers, ponds, and of course, the Great Lakes Michigan and Huron.  We will meet in Traverse City and explore several trails in the area: the Leelanau Trail and the Heritage Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.  Then we head north and bike the North Central Trail from Indian River to Mackinaw City, where we'll spend 2 nights, with views of Lake Huron.  One of the tour's highlights is our day on Mackinac Island, where you'll be free to bike the 8-mile loop around the island, look for the best fudge or take in the historical sites on the island.  To finish it all off, we'll ride the Little Traverse Wheelway, all the way from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix, yet another amazing cycling experience.  All trails are paved except the North Central State Trail, which is crushed limestone.
