Optional Extras
Enhance your ride with these cool additional options, available from the registration page:
Busing Options - Since the Shoreline West route does not loop around to the start, we offer a return bus for those who need transport back to their cars. The post-tour bus allows you to park in Traverse City, then take the bus back from Mackinaw City after the conclusion of the tour on August 11.
Mackinac Island Ferry Tickets - Explore one of Michigan's most well-known destinations! Car-free Mackinac Island promises countless experiences for the bicycle tourist. Riders who purchase tickets during their registration receive a discount on the normal price. Please note that riders who have opted for the post-tour bus will not have time to visit the island before the bus departs in Mackinaw City.
T-Shirt Upgrade - Upgrade your complimentary cotton t-shirt to a moisture-wicking tech fabric one. Your skin will thank you when you're riding under the hot sun!
2018 Shoreline West Jersey - Receive our 2018 Shoreline West jersey when you arrive and check in!
Early Check-In - Riders who would like to check in on August 7 (Tuesday) instead of August 8 (Wednesday) may do so for a small fee. This fee includes dinner and a camping space on Tuesday night.
