Join us this Memorial Day weekend for three days of non-stop mountain bike trail riding. Starting on Friday, May 22, we'll take a guided ride through the caverns at Adventure Mine, checking out the bats and old mine workings along the way. Or, stop by Swedetown for family-friendly group rides.  On Saturday, May 23rd, we'll wake up bright and early with a guided group ride at the Michigan Tech Trails.  Bring the whole family because there will be a variety of rides for people of all abilities.  Later in the afternoon, we'll head over to Churning Rapids and explore these backcountry trails close to home. Sunday, May 24, we'll kick off the Lake Superior Gravity Series with the first Enduro of the year!

Volunteer

Volunteers make this event possible! Ride the Keweenaw is fairly small but we still need a core group of people to help with registration, check-in, and Enduro timing at both races.  We could also use a little help with our ArtBike fundraiser!  Volunteers will receive a t-shirt and big time gratitude for keeping things on track. Sign up here if you are interested in helping out.
