We sag you via motor coach to the opposite side of the state, over to Holland on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan! You'll have time today for an optional ride to Saugatuck, or perhaps to Holland State Park. This day is your opportunity for the rear-tire dip in Lake Michigan photo op!

Today we ride inland along a combination of paved side paths, paved bike trails, plus just a few miles on township roads as we make our way into Grand Rapids and the White Pine Trail! Lunch today at the John Ball Zoo, with overnight at Comstock Park, right on the trail!

It's a big day, with about 50 miles on the White Pine Trail, now fully paved to Big Rapids. You'll pass through Rockford, Sand Lake, Pierson, and numerous other small trail towns each with a trailhead and comfort station. Tonight we're in Big Rapids, home to Ferris State University.

 Today you'll continue on the White Pine Trail to Reed City, then turn east on the Pere Marquette Trail. This is the longest ride of the tour, and your chance to enjoy a Metric Century ride, 100 kilometers or 62 miles, whichever comes first! There are many great overlooks on the Muskegon River. You might enjoy lunch at the College of Knowlege in Evart, or enjoy our sag lunch at one of the trailheads.

Today we close the tour with a 55-mile run back to Bay City. Start by riding on the Pere Marquette Trail until it ends at the Tridge in Midland, about 30 miles. the final stretch into Bay City is about 22 miles including riding on Wheeler Road/ US Bike Route 20. This is the largest section of road riding of the tour, as a rail trail does not yet exist in this area.
