Join us for a Beautiful Ride through Dickinson County,
In the Heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Sponsored By: Dickinson County Hospital Foundation
The 2009 Tour de Dickinson proved to be another huge success for Dickinson County and the Foundation. Last year's ride drew participants from five different states and Canada. For the 2010 ride, we are adding an additional route of 11.5 miles and joining forces with the Spread Eagle Barrens Run/Walk as you will see below. The joint venture will allow participants the opportunity to bike on Saturday, enjoy Italian Fest Saturday evening and run/walk on Sunday. This cooperative effort has the potential to be a vast draw to our area and its beauties!
Whether You are a Hardcore, Serious Rider or Just Someone Who Loves to Ride a Bike, You Will Have a Great Time Riding Down Scenic Roads and Soaking in the Sights of Rivers, Country Land, Fumee Falls, Natural Water Springs and Much More.
This Ride supplies Sag Support, Beverages and Food for all Levels and Ages of Riders.
This is a Non-Competitive Scenic Ride With 6 Different Routes to Choose From.
