A NEW PLACE!!! SummerTour 2027 will be at “Twin Bears Wooded Campground” near Indian River, in the “Tip of the Mitt”, just 30 miles south of Mackinaw City.
Twin Bears is in Michigan’s vacation playground. It is easy distance to Petoskey, Alpena, Gaylord and all the resort towns between. Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and Ocqueoc Falls.
www.TwinBearsWoodedCampground.com has fun stuff in camp.
Set up camp once and come back to Twin Bears every day after riding. Break camp only once.
Daily routes will be varying miles each day.
SummerTour 2027 will rely on the “Park and Ride” format more than before. Northern Michigan is packed with bike trails, they are mostly compacted limestone – only a few are paved. Road bikes will work but maybe have your tires a bit wider. Twin Bears is on a rural low-to-moderate-density, 55-MPH road.
Put your bicycle on your car rack, drive to a trailhead, park and ride a loop route back to your car.
Pigeon River Country State Forest (The Big Wild) is nearly next door. It has miles of dirt and gravel bike trails for off-road riding.
TCBA is the “Tri-County Bicycle Association”, an all-volunteer bicycling club in the Lansing, MI area.
