LUNCH

Choose your lunch stop. The Glenn Community Center is our main lunch stop. It is a large enclosed room with ample seating and tables. However, if you prefer to eat outside we have lots of outdoor seating as well. In addition, you can have lunch at either starting point.

LODGING

Choose your accommodations. If you are visiting the area for the weekend, check out the hotels that are offering our riders a special 10% discount.

REGISTRATION

If you choose the 63 mile routes, we recommend you sign-in or register around 8:00 am. This should allow you time to enjoy the stops and finish by 3:30 pm. If you prefer to register a day before the ride, we are offering early check-in and registration to our riders on Friday, September 18th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If your preferred starting point is Kal-Haven Trailhead, check-in early at the United Methodist Church, 429 Michigan Ave, South Haven. For Schultz Park early check-in go to Saugatuck Brewing Company, 2948 Blue Star Highway, Douglas, MI 49406.
