from Michigan Coast to Coast
204 miles from Au Gres on Lake Huron to Ludington on Lake Michigan or… 100 mile loop from Ludington to the Manistee National Forest and back. Take your pick of two options in this popular Michigan dirt road bicycle race/event.
Start your day at the sunrise shores of Lake Huron. Make one all-out push west, 204 miles through Michigan farmlands and grasslands, rolling hardwoods, the majestic Manistee National Forest, all the way to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan at Ludington. Or try the challenging 100-mile Ludington-Manistee National Forest loop.
The two courses will not be known for their gravel, ironically, but for everything that’s NOT gravel – the forest roads, the two-tracks, the snowmobile trails. Much of the second half of the course is heavily forested, closed in, constantly changing. It’s a challenging, roller coaster ride. Set your eyes on the glorious sunset over Lake Michigan or ride into the night to get to the finish line on time.
