Moving the Pedal & Whine ride to Albion in 2024 was a great success followed by an equally successful 2025 tour. Riders enjoyed our scenic, low traffic paved and gravel routes with a post-ride meal provided by Albion Malleable Brewing Company. Join us for this ride on Saturday, August 1, 2026 and experience the small town hospitality and the quiet roads around Albion, Michigan. Sponsored by the Cascades Cycling Club, this very popular, fully supported ride has grown significantly since our first ride in 2013. Paved road routes include distances of 17, 29, 39, 47 and 66 miles. We also have combination paved/gravel road routes of 42 to 59 miles that take riders back in time as you ride through picturesque Amish country with its beautiful farms and well-kept herds of livestock. At the end of your ride, all riders will enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the expert staff of Albion Malleable Brewing Company. Albion Malleable also offers a great selection of carefully brewed craft beers and for
the first time this year a selection of fine wines and non-alcoholic beers will be available for purchase.
All routes are SAG supported so participants can ride worry free. Longer routes feature SAG/rest stops where riders can stop and enjoy healthy snacks, drinks and take a restroom break before continuing their ride. Register before January 16th and take advantage of our special “early bird” pricing. This is a DALMAC Training Ride.
