A mixed surface bike-packing long weekend to rest your soul 

New to the LMB’s line up, this fall bike-packing event will be moved from year to year to showcase some of the great fall hideouts in Michigan. With a focus on flannels, fall colors, and camp fires. The final route will be about 60% pavement and 40% gravel, multi use paths, seasonal roads, and mountain bike trails.
