Cycling in Michigan: Terrain & Route Overview

With more freshwater coastline than any other state, Michigan is a dream destination for century cyclists. Bounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, Superior, and Erie, century rides here feature refreshing lake breezes, dramatic sand dunes, and dense hardwood canopies. Popular routes in the Lower Peninsula wind through the rolling cherry orchards and vineyards of Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, while southern Michigan offers rolling rural agricultural circuits with smooth asphalt and light traffic. In the Upper Peninsula, remote roads take cyclists past waterfalls, rugged shoreline cliffs, and boreal forests. The cycling season shines brightest from June through September, with long daylight hours and pleasant temperatures that make 100 miles fly by.

Terrain Characteristics: Great Lakes coastal dune corridors, rolling northern fruit orchards, and dense Upper Peninsula boreal forests.

Riding Season & Weather: May through October.
