Food and party on the beach Saturday the 19th starting at noon with food cut off at 4 PM. Food requires a ticket until everyone is fed. There will also be Jolly Pumpkin beer available for five dollars a pint. Wristband is required for entry to the afterparty and for food.

Please note that the event is pre-register and pre-pay only and orders are non-refundable. After checkout you will be able to pick up your number plate, food pass, wristband, map and any purchased gear at Tree Fort Bikes at 1866 Whittaker Rd, Ypsilanti, between September 14th and September 18th. We will also have a pick-up night at Jolly Pumpkin in Dexter in the parking lot on Thursday the 17th between 7:00 and 9:00pm.

You will be required to have a number plate on your bike while you ride, and you will only be able to ride some sections of the trail with a number plate on the bike. The DNR has indicated that this will be strictly enforced.

Ride with friends or meet some new ones while you join up to 1000 fellow riders on the trail!
