Created by the Benzie Sunrise Rotary Club and hosted by Crystal Mountain for the last 17 years, the club’s Bike Benzie Tour is an annual charity ride for the benefit of area youth programs.

There are three routes to choose from, which start and end at Crystal Mountain. All routes will be patrolled by SAG support vehicles that can assist in case of emergency or the need to return to the resort.

• 40-Mile Course: The 40-mile bike tour travels west and north to the village of Beulah, to the food stop at the Betsie Valley Trailhead. The route continues east and south to the resort.
• 62-Mile Course: The 62-mile route travels west and north to Elberta for the first food stop.  It then heads north along M22, through the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, eventually south through Honor for the second food stop, before heading back to Crystal Mountain.
