Michigan Wine Country Bike Tour
Camp at Michigan Warren Dunes State Park. (Some may prefer to stay at near by motels.) The bike ride starts at 9:00 AM Saturday September 6 from the campsite. Bike on rural low-traveled roads to four Wineries: Lemon Creek, Heart of the Vineyard, Tabor Hill, and a new winery. The ride total distance is about 31 miles. The ride is slow with lots of stops for sight-seeing, rests and wine tasting. Faster folks do extra miles with side road trips, but we are all together at the wineries. It is an option to come for the day and ride, returning home at night. Warren Dunes is about 85 miles from Naperville, less then 2 hour drive.
