Mountain Bike Group Rides in Traverse City and Beyond

Northern Michigan is home to several can't-miss mountain bike rides in Traverse City and Bellaire. These rides are hosted by local bike shops and typically include a "faster" option and a "speed of fun" pace as well. We've added a few notes on each one, but make sure you reach out to the host shop of any questions!
