Scenic Trip Around Lake Michigan

Who's up for a motorcycle trip around Lake Michigan? It's a scenic adventure that takes us through unique cities, coastal communities, and the Great Lakes' wilderness.

The Lake Michigan ride will be roughly a 1,300-mile route that follows as closely to the lake's shoreline as possible.

This will be a 4 day event with 3 nights. Pack accordingly.

• Day 1, Hoffman estates to Ludington Mi, 316 Miles, 8:45 hours Plus stops.
• Day 2, Ludington to Manistique, 343 Miles, 7:45 hours Plus stops.
• Day 3, Manistique to Tomah Wi, 369 Miles, 8:50 hours Plus stops.
• Day 4, Tomah to home 244 Miles, 5:30 hours plus stops.

I plan on staying off tollways if at all possible, taking back roads to Gary Indiana area where we'll pick up Hwy 12 then to lake shore Drive toward Michigan.
