Trace the Mitten 


Exploring and Enjoying the Great Lake State
Cycling: Touring and Recreation

In the mid 1980s, I started participating in Triathalons and tours from my home to Mackinaw City, Michigan. Times have changed and now the idea of competition seems beyond my  physical limitations. Remembering the beauty of Michigan in my previous tours I arrived at the idea to go around the shoreline of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, which is commonly referred to as "The Mitten" and enjoy cycling on a more recreational level. Since then I have completed multiple tours around parts of Michigan and this website is the home base to my method.

Detroit, Michigan 

Trace the Mitten was established to help cyclist connect and learn more about the sport and what options Michigan offers. We have raised money for The ALS Association during our last tours and plan to continue helping the community as much as we can. Trace the Mitten is about getting involved, feeling healthy and having some fun and memorable moments along the way. You can connect and learn more about us here.
