A Celebration of the Bicycle!

Hanson Hills Recreation 

The Michigan Bike Festival is back by popular demand. Labor Day weekend, Friday September 4, and Saturday September 5, 2009

Hanson Hills Recreation Area in Grayling is the site of the Michigan Bike Festival.

We have the following planned:

  • Live Music Friday and Saturday featuring local musicians who will blow you away with their talent
  • Social bon fires all weekend long starting with the “burning of the bike” Friday night
  • Food all weekend long at the “Dollar Diner”
  • Inaugural bike race from Hartwick Pines State Park to Hanson Hills Saturday morning
  • Bike rides including road and mountain
  • Bike games and product demos from bike manufacturers
  • Kids bike races for our energetic young folk
  • International Mountain Biking Association Mountain Bike Patrol will be on hand to teach basic trailside first aid.
  • Learn trailside bike repair from our very own Bike Shop Bob, a featured bike shop owner in Bicycling magazine’s tech column.

This is going to be a family fun weekend packed with all sorts of activities, vendors, bike shops, and stuff to do and enjoy. We will be featuring free camping to those who wish to camp who registered for the festival.

Registration for the festival is free (we need your registration information for our records and to register for the bike race). The bike race is only $10.00. Trophies will be awarded to the first place finishers in the three classes.

 

Proceeds support Hanson Hills and the Northern Chapter of the MMBA. Both are 501(C)(3) charitable non-profit organizations.
