Group Rides (free!)
Join us for several free group rides at five different trail networks! We will have rides at Söké near Adventure Mine on Friday; the Michigan Tech Trails in Houghton, Churning Rapids in Hancock, and Swedetown Trails in Calumet on Saturday. Group rides will be split by skill level, with kid-friendly rides being hosted at Michigan Tech and Swedetown. A full schedule of group rides can be found here: https://copperharbortrails.org/event/ride-the-keweenaw You will be asked which group rides you hope to attend later in the registration process. Registration is not required for these rides but helps us plan the number of group leaders needed at each event.
