NorthWest Tour is an affordable, five-day bicycle tent camping tour in and around the beautiful Traverse City and Leelanau areas of Michigan's northwest Lower Peninsula. The tour features great
scenery on good roads and trails through many small towns and tourist areas, all from the convenience of a single camping location.
Experience sand dunes and sandy beaches, lighthouses, small lakes and Great Lakes, orchards and vineyards, and the Northwest Michigan charm of resort towns like Elk Rapids, Cedar, Williamsburg, Empire, Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, and Traverse City. This is a wonderful way to experience the area without paying for a high priced hotel and we feed you!

Petoskey to Wilderness: A Fully Supported 3-Day Bikepacking Adventure
Ride the Lake Michigan shoreline, camp under the stars, and experience bikepacking—
without the stress of figuring it all out
yourself.
[P-W Collage.png]
Over three days, we’ll follow the Lake Michigan shoreline, roll through small towns, share good meals, and end at the edge of the state in Wilderness State Park. It’s not about speed or mileage—it’s about slowing down, getting outside, and enjoying the ride.
This is bikepacking, the J.P. Wanderwheels way: simple, supported, and built for connection.
This is a fully supported, guided bikepacking trip designed to take the guesswork out of your first (or next) adventure.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on riding, relaxing, and taking it all in.
This ride is a great fit if you:
Are comfortable riding ~20–40 miles per day
Are curious about bikepacking (even if you’ve never done it before)
Want an adventure—but not a sufferfest
Appreciate good people, good food, and a good route
From Bayshore Park in Petoskey, we’ll roll onto the rail trail, cruising a mostly flat route of pavement and crushed limestone, with plenty of tree cover along the way.
Your registration includes:
? Curated 3-day route through northern MIchigan
? Ride support + experienced guides (Jim & Pete)
? Meals + snacks during the trip
? Camps + overnight logistics handled
? A small group experience (limited to ~10–12 riders)
All for just $130 per rider
Day 1
We roll out of Petoskey and settle into the rhythm of the ride—lake views, conversation, and the kind of miles that feel good. Desitnation: Wilderness State Park. This place is something special – sandy beaches stretching along Lake Michigan, big skies, and a group campsite we can confidently say is the nicest we’ve ever experienced.
Day 2
Enjoy the park. See the sites. Maybe visit Mackinaw City if we're feeling it.
Day 3
We make our way back to Petoskey, reminiscing about our wonderful Wilderness wander.

The Spring Classic is the original MMM and we made it the toughest ride you could ever imagine. It is always held on the third Saturday of June, and is limited to 1,500 riders. It is a road bike
event and is a ride on the toughest terrain Michigan has to offer and will test you both mentally and physically. It is one of the most grueling and challenging rides you will ever participate in.
Nothing compares to the hills of this ride matched up with the early season timing. Four routes to choose from: a 50K teaser, a 100K metric century, a 160K, (100 mile century), and for those who dare… a 200K double metric with almost 10,000 feet of climbing!
