Ride the White Pine Trail

Ride the White Pine Trail

Enjoy an exciting June week end with a tour on the White Pine Trail. This wonderful trail runs from Cadillac all the way to Grand Rapids, and we’ve got a fun tour planned for you.

Arrive at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Grand Rapids trail head. We’ll load early onto a bus for transport to the far end of the trail in Cadillac, with bikes safe and secure inside a van. You’ll begin riding south about noon, for the 41-mile ride to Big Rapids. The ride today is 100% on paved trail! We’ll have your bags unloaded at the hotel, ready for when you get to Big Rapids for the overnight stop.

Big Rapids is a nice college town, home to Ferris State University. There are many good restaurants and a brewpub for you to enjoy.

Sunday we complete the trail with return to Grand Rapids. It’s about 50 miles from Big Rapids to Grand Rapids. The trail surface Sunday includes 29 miles of crushed limestone & cinder from Big Rapids to Sand Lake, and then 21 miles paved back to the trail head in Comstock Park. We’ve ridden on all the unpaved sections to be sure they meet our standards, and have optional county road routing around this, if desired.

The Tour Fee is $299.00 per person, double occupancy. Solo guests in a private room, only $359.00. Your ticket gets you some great benefits: Transport from Grand Rapids to Cadillac for you & your bike; luggage delivery to Big Rapids and back to Grand Rapids; lunch Saturday & Sunday; and mapping & sag service along the route.

If you’re coming over Friday to Grand Rapids, you can get a room in our block at the Comfort Suites. This hotel is adjacent to our Saturday morning pickup, making your logistics easy. Special bonus for you, we have a self-guided ride around Grand Rapids on Friday!
