About this event
The LHT routes are all new this year, and promise to offer up some great riding! We will pre-ride most of the new 70 mile route, starting from downtown Suttons Bay, skipping past the first 17 miles (which runs from Herman Park around Stony Point - which the Muffin crowd does every week!)...
We'll gather in the boat launch parking right next to the waterfront pavilion (which is a popular bathroom break spot on the Muffin ride), and head up North Jacobsen through Northport and on to the lighthouse. We'll then return counter-clockwise around Jelinek, Kolarik and North Lake Leelanau Drive before dropping back down into Suttons Bay on Setterbo.
Approximately 53 miles, with roughly 2500' of elevation gain. We'll shoot for an average pace of 14-16 mph, but this will be a No Drop ride and we'll pause to regroup as necessary.
Restrooms and water top ups are available in a couple of spots along the way, as are grocery/convenience/ice cream places.
NOTE: The RwGPS link below refers to the entire 70 mile LHT route - we will be starting the ride at roughly mile 17 in the cue sheet...
