Join with other bicycle enthusiasts to experience the beauty of God’s creation as we bike together in the northern Lower Peninsula. In addition to great biking, the camp we are staying at is located close to hiking trails and a lake. As we explore the beauty, we will have fellowship with others who love to bike and camp.   We will share devotions in the morning and evening and gather around the campfire at the end of the day.

 

Adults, families, and teens (limit of 3 without parents participating) are invited to join the ride. Bicycle Odyssey begins on Thursday evening, July 10 and continues through Sunday afternoon, July 13, 2008. This year’s base camp will be at Camp Petosega on Pickerel Lake. The address is 11000 Camp Petosega Rd., Alanson, MI 49706.

 

Several day trips of at least 35 miles are planned, with the possibility of a century ride if requested. Maps and support for riders is provided. To make this an enjoyable experience participants are encouraged to condition prior to the event to be able to bike about 150 miles for the weekend. Bountiful biker breakfasts are prepared at camp along with snacks, fruits and veggies, sandwiches and cookies for lunch on the road. Evening meals will be at restaurants or provided in camp.

 

Bring your tent, mattress, and sleeping bag. Required equipment for the ride are bicycle and helmet, and 2 water bottles. We also recommend basic bicycle tools, spare tires, a basic repair kit and a small first aid kit.

The cost before June 15th—$70 each - includes food, program fees and campsite. Children under 12, $40. By signing up ahead of time you allow time for planning for the group. 

Registrations received after June 15th will be an additional $30 per person.
