Newberry to St. Ignaceamup

Our campground was filled with excitement this morning. Riders were up early taking their tents down in anticipation of finishing their week of fun with a ride along Lake Michigan into St. Ignace. This excitement was augmented by a forecast of a 30% chance of showers.

As we headed for US 2 and Lake Michigan we were treated to 4 miles of blacktop that had just been laid the day before. Not only was it smooth, but it was downhill with a tailwind.

US 2 provided the riders with a 6'-8' shoulder and wonderful views of Lake Michigan. Riders had the opportunity to have lunch or snacks at Epoufette or Brevort. There were many opportunities to enjoy the beaches along Lake Michigan.

As we turned off US 2 for the final 6 miles we were greeted by Cheeseman "Hill." This short (1/2 mile), steep hill (12%) was a final challenge before we had 5+ miles of downhill into St. Ignace.

Scattered showers hit around noon so some riders were lucky and missed the showers and others were not so lucky.

The Little Bear East Arena was a welcome sight as we finished up our tour, found our luggage, took showers, loaded our cars and said our good byes to our new friends.

 

2010RideCal_coverThe print version of the 2010 Michigan Ride Calendar is now available. The calendar was mailed with the latest edition of the Michigan Bicyclist Magazine to all LMB members the last week of January.

For non LMB members who are interested in receiving the Ride Calendar, you may join LMB and a copy will be mailed to you in your welcome pack, or you may request a 2010 Michigan Biking and Tourism packet. By mid February, you will also be able to pick up a copy in person at any Michigan Welcome Center, Visitors Bureaus or bike shop.

You may also preview or download the print version of the Ride Calendar using the "Download / Preview PDF Version" link below.

We also have an online version available. (note: some events that did not make the print calendar deadline may appear in the online version. Conversely, not all event organizers who submitted events to the print calendar have submitted their events on our online version.)

Join the coalition of supporters by signing the Michigan Complete Streets Petition.


petitiion-logo
Petition Language:
I join the Michigan Complete Streets Coalition in support of statewide Complete Streets policies that require state and local road agencies to design and maintain roadways for all users, of all ages and abilities.

The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of the livability of our communities. They ought to be designed for everyone, whether young or old, motorist or bicyclist, walker or wheelchair user, bus rider or shopkeeper. It is time that our state's transportation planning agencies - including the Michigan Department of Transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, local road agencies, and local governments - adopt Complete Streets policies and build a safer, cleaner, more sustainable transportation system.
 

A Guide For Bicyclists


“What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know” is designed to help you safely and enjoyably share the public roads and trails of Michigan with other users. Although this publication includes information about many Michigan traffic laws, it is not meant to be a legal document or a substitute for the Michivgan Vehicle Code.

This handy booklet is designed for bicyclists and is an excellent resource for anyone riding a bicycle in Michigan. Law Enforcement agencies and other organizations can request free copies for distribution.

Remember that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Keep yourself and your bicycle in good condition and ride within your own limits.

What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know is brought to through a partnership between the League of Michigan Bicyclists, the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness, Michigan Department of Transporation, and the Michigan Department of Community Health.

       
THESE ARE AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL BIKE SHOP!
