Detailed itinerary
1
Meet at Loose Spokes. Get you bike, get it adjusted to your height, meet your guide!
2
We will bike through some of Grand Haven's cutest neighborhoods to get from Loose Spokes to Odd Side Ales. This route is as flat as possible (but keep in mind, Grand Haven is in a dune so there are a few gentle, rolling hills). We will arrive at Odd Side Ales, and you will have a chance to try their beer and spirits. Odd Side Ales does not offer food, but there will be food available at the second two stops.
You are responsible for your own food or drink at each stop along the way.
You will have the opportunity to sit in air conditioning and cool off, or walk around and explore the shops downtown Grand Haven.
3
After our first stop, we will ride our bikes down to the beach. We will stop at City Beach and you will have a few minutes to walk on the beach and dip your toes in Lake Michigan
4
After our quick stop at the beach, we will bike Grand Armory Brewing. You will have the chance to try their beer. They also have wine-based slushies.
At this stop, you can grab food from Dr. Rolf's Barbeque.
You will have the option to sit inside in the air conditioning or outside at a shaded picnic table.
5
We will bike down the board walk and see boats as well as Grand Haven's Train Depot Museum.
6
Our final stop is Off The Chain. This brewery has both indoor and outdoor seating.
A food truck is typically parked in their side lot. The food truck changes everyday. You never know what the cuisine will be, but it's always delicious!
If you have had enough to drink and are ready for a dessert, walk a few blocks over to grab ice cream at Norm's Ice Cream. They have local Hudsonville ice cream and massive serving sizes - we recommend ordering a baby or small size...trust us, it's huge!
After stopping here, you will end at your starting location, Loose Spokes.
