SummerTour returns to Marion, Michigan in 2025. Halfway between Clare and Cadillac, Marion has easy access to the Pere Marquette and White Pine rail-trails, roads through rolling farmland and forests plus offroad dirt. If you’re in it for bicycling, Marion is the place.
SummerTour 2025 will be a family-friendly five-day bicycle tour based at the Veteran’s Memorial Park Campground just a block from downtown Marion. A single location lets you setup and break camp only once.
The tour will begin on Wednesday, July 8 and end on Sunday, July 13, 2025. Camping will be available starting on Tuesday, July 7 after 2 P.M. included in your regular fee. Or check in on Wednesday morning after 10 A.M. On Sunday riders will return to the campground in time to pack and leave by 12 P.M.
Bring the family! SummerTour has special rates for children. Free for ages 12 and under, ages 13 through 17 at a good rate.
Daily routes will vary between 25 and 75 miles, with various options, including fewer or more miles. The Sunday rides will be shorter to allow returning to camp, shower, and check-out by 12 P.M.
This is primarily a tent camping tour, with provision for some RVs (for an extra fee). Included in the basic fee are tent camping facilities, route maps, SAG service, and meals. Dinners Wednesday through Saturday, and breakfasts Thursday through Sunday are provided and served in a pavilion at the campground.
SummerTour is sponsored by the Tri-County Bicycle Association (TCBA) of Lansing, MI and is open to all capable interested bicyclists. You need not be a member of any organization to participate.
Online registration begins on Saturday January 4, 2025. The first 175 entries will be accepted.
More information coming in November
