This was my second Senior Cycling trip, and it did not disappoint. Very well organized, great trails - the Leelanau Trail and the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail were my 2 favorites - and just a wonderful group of people with whom I  enjoyed the adventure of exploring “Up North” Michigan. Leaders Russ and Jane Eanes are the best! 

Northern Michigan Trails #1

I like the small group.
Russ & Jane did a great job.
Would recommend!

Russ and Jane are the best guides ever! We were so happy to have them facilitate our wonderful trip! Michigan was beautiful, and cycling was a great way to experience the area.

My sister and I did this trip last week.  Loved the Bayshore Inn.  The beach was nice and the water was so clear.  Our guides Russ and Jane made the trip fantastic. Weather, food, and new friends made the trip great. Go if you can and ask for Russ and Jane.

Great ride, great people, great time! Russ and Jane were terrific guides and did their best to keep us safe and on track. Would highly recommend them for future tours.

Le P'tit Train du Nord was a railroad built between 1890 and 1909 by the former Canadian-Pacific Railway&nbsp;that played a major role in the economic development and population of the region north and west of Montreal.&nbsp;Converted to a multi-use recreational trail in the 1990s, it travels through the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec past Mont Tremblant.&nbsp;We&nbsp;ride southeast from its northern terminus, the town of Mont Laurier to the Montreal suburb of St. Jerome, covering 128 miles (206 km) over 4 days. The region&nbsp;is French and the landscape is spectacularly scenic.&nbsp;To provide even more value and enjoyment on this tour, in 2026 we will convene on Saturday afternoon in Montreal to get acquainted and enjoy some sights and tastes of Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal). On Sunday morning we'll take&nbsp;a specially guided, 3 hour cycling tour of Montreal, visiting highlights such as&nbsp;Griffintown, Canal Lachine, Atwater Market, Habitat 67 site, Old Montreal highlights including Pointe-à-Callière, Notre Dame Basilica, Jacques Cartier plaza, Bonsecours Market, the Old Port area including riding next to the Saint Lawrence river, and stops in the Plateau Mont-Royal-Square Saint-Louis area to see some of the typical houses,,&nbsp;explore&nbsp;some of the neighborhoods' public art, and visit to the base of the Mont Royal. Our loop will be completed by entering the downtown area through McGill University&nbsp;and Peel Street. Of course our guide will&nbsp;provide&nbsp;historical information, but&nbsp;also talk about food, urbanism, Montreal culture and way of living, English-French relationships and specific aspects that make the city a special one in North America.

Although built to be next to the large ski hills, it operates as a year round resort. It is big, busy, and somewhat expensive. Needless to say, it is overflowing with specialty boutiques, stores, hotels, restaurants, and, of course, tourists." You're welcome to take your bike to explore the original village and the area, or you may opt to hike or ride the gondola to the summit for a panoramic view of the region we're riding.
