For the 2nd year in a row, we will be starting and ending at Center Lake Bible Camp located at 15204 20 Mile Road, Tustin, Michigan. You can choose to make a weekend out of it by booking their very affordable lodging (motel rooms, cabins, RV hook up, tent sites) from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. To book and pay for your lodging, call Penny at (231) 829-3441.

The camp offers many free activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, 4-square, volleyball, and gaga ball. There are also activities for an additional fee such as horseback riding and paintball.

Additional notes: Alcohol is not allowed at the camp. So unfortunately no beer after the ride unless you want to drive to nearby Tustin for a cold one after your ride. All housing units include a fire pit and picnic table.

Friday evening group ride: Let me know if you plan to attend the 20-mile Friday evening no drop group ride. Riders should meet at the main office building a few minutes before 6:30pm. You will get to see the start and finish (both courses) and TWO seasonal road sections that are also in all courses.

Packet pickup/timing chips/number plates/paper maps: There are none. Since this isn’t a “race” we don’t have number plates or timing chips. You’ll need to download the GPS course file onto your GPS (or cell phone) at home before you come. THE COURSES WILL NOT BE MARKED (other than the last few hundred feet of the finish). There are no cue sheets or paper maps.

Day Use Fee for Center Lake Bible Camp: If you are not staying at the camp. You can park there for free to do the ride. However, if you plan to use any of the camp’s facilities (bathroom, showers, lake, etc.) there will be a $5 per person charge you can drop off at or before the start of the event. We will have a jar or box to throw your $5 into. Please bring exact change. Bring your own towels for the showers. Bathrooms/showers are to the left as you face the office.
