PEDAL & WHINE BIKE TOUR AUGUST 5, 2023
Cascades Cycling Club is proud to present a bicycle tour that showcases south-central Michigan’s rural roads, summer scenery, its wine country, and delicious, locally sourced food.
Join us for this very popular, fully supported ride that has grown significantly since our first ride in 2013. Enjoy bicycling along the scenic, lightly traveled roads of eastern Jackson County and the Waterloo Recreation area. With routes of 11, 18, 29, 32, 53 and 68 miles, cyclists can choose to ride as much or as little as they like. This year's routes will also give riders the option of including sections of the Mike Levine Lakeland trail in their route. All routes are fully supported by roving “SAG” vehicles and “SAG” bicyclists so participants can ride worry-free.
To ensure everyone’s safety, and to ensure the best possible experience for our guests, we will be limiting our event to 300 riders this year.
Parking for this ride will be 1/4 mile south of Sandhill Crane Vineyards at the East Jackson Elementary School, 4340 Walz Rd. Please park at the school and ride your bike to Sandhill Crane Vineyards for check-in and a light breakfast of coffee, fruit and bagels before beginning your ride.
All routes begin and end at Sandhill Crane Vineyards. Each rider will receive a detailed route map, and all routes will be clearly marked on the pavement..
Lunch, prepared by the expert staff at the vineyard's cafe, will be served between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and is included for all pre-registered riders. Lunch is also available for purchase for non-riders. Vegetarian and gluten free options will be available to pre-registered riders and pre-registered non-riders..
Sandhill Crane’s wines will be available for purchase by the glass or bottle. Craft beers brewed especially for this event will be available for purchase by the pint or pitcher.
Helmets are required for the rider’s safety.
The Cascades Cycling Club is a member organization of the League of Michigan Bicyclists (LMB) and donates $1 per rider to the LMB for this tour.
