Recumbent rides/events in MI this summer?

Anybody know of any rides/rallies/events taking place in Michigan this summer? I will be going back home for a visit at some point. Laurie and I would like to try and time it so we can do some riding as well.

 

Mike, where are you planning to go in MI?

The above is a link to a thread on BROL. It tells of a couple rides and gives a link.

I've never been on an organized ride but PALM has went through close to us several times and I've met some people who were with the ride while I was out on a ride on my own. That is a big one and it is usually in July or August.

Another really big one is Labor Day weekend when the ride is from Lansing to the Straits and you even get to walk across the bridge. I think there are two routes, depending on your ability.

That's about as far as I can take you but you might contact Bob. He is from SE Michigan and has a regular newsletter. His email I believe is wolverbob*cs.comn He no doubt can direct you to more.

If I hear of others I'll let you know.

Keep smiling!
Dennis

 

Mike,

I've had my eye on the Michigander Bike Tour for some years now, and have just never made it there. It weaves together some of Michigan's Rail-Trails into a week-long supported tour, with overnight camping and schools and parks. They do a different part of the state each year. I have no first-hand reports from anyone who's been on a Michigander though. Check it out:
