Michigan · Ride calendar
Traverse City is one of the Midwest’s dream riding destinations. Vineyard-lined roads roll along Grand Traverse Bay, the Leelanau back roads and Sleeping Bear country are stunning, and the gravel scene here is deservedly famous.
Summer is glorious and busy, fall is quieter and gorgeous, and both are short. The rolling terrain and lake views make for genuinely special riding, but winter is long, so the season carries real urgency up here.
