One of my favorite routes of 2019 started at Interlochen State Park up by Traverse City, through Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, up to Glen Arbor for a stop at Cherry Republic for lunch (try the cherry root beer, it’s freaking amazing).

I did the route twice last year with friends, camping at the State Park each time (it’s a fantastic full service campground for a hub-and-spoke cycling trip).

The 77 mile route, through Sleeping Bear National Park is on Strava (here)
You can find the same route on Endomondo (here)

Later in the year, we did a 69 mile route, skipping the National Park (here)

One thing is certain, if you’re going to do the Sleeping Bear Dunes loop, bring your climbing gears! There are some awesome climbs in there – one up to 22%!
