A biking event to promote bike riding safety inspired by and in memory of our good friend David Baker who was tragically killed in 2019 when a vehicle struck him while he was riding his bike. David was an avid biker who participated in many endurance events such as the Zoo-de-Mac, ODRAM (One day ride across Michigan), DALMAC and the National 24-Hour Challenge. Proceeds from this event will be split and donated to both the Pere Marquette Rail Trail and the Tri-County Bicycle Association/DALMAC FUND Inc.
The event will take place September 9th, 2023, along the Pere-Marquette Rail Trail starting in either Clare or Mildland MI. Riders will leave from the Doherty Hotel parking lot in Clare or the trail head parking lot in Midland.
From there it is up to each individual to choose their preferred distance as they set out along the Pere-Marquette. The rail trail has been chosen for maximizing safety and flexibility. Some riders may choose only a few miles while others may enjoy the challenge of a 60 mile round trip.
You must register by August 20th to receive swag. Swag bags (shirt, water bottle and koozie) will be available for pick up the morning of the ride from 8am – 11am at each starting location. In the interest of flexibility, all riders are free to set out and return on their own schedule. Event donation is $35 (non-refundable). Family members under 18 are free but must be accompanied by a registered adult. Swag bags will only be available for adult pre-registered riders or minors willing to pay the donation amount.
