Routes

The Ride for Nature routes are designed to meander along Northern Door County's less-travelled backroads, providing solitude and scenery.

New for 2012 is the addition of a Metric Century distance – if you don't think you'll be ready to ride a full 100 miles in June, how about 62?

All five official routes will be announced closer to the event; however, this info will provide a glimpse at what you're getting yourself into when you register for the 2012 Ride for Nature.
