The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes improve balance and protect your feet during training and on uneven boardwalks.
Bring a light layer
Lake Michigan winds can make temperatures feel much cooler than inland—pack a windbreaker or fleece.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Even on cool days, reflected sunlight off the lake can be intense—use sunscreen and sip water between stops.
Arrive early for training
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your start time to complete orientation and fit your helmet without rushing.
