What’s the Zoo-de-Mack? It’s a 25-year-old rite of spring in Northern Michigan- a leisurely bike ride from the Zoo Bar at Boyne Highlands, to Harbor Springs, to Mackinaw City. The 51-mile ride takes cyclists through the Tunnel of Trees to Cross Village for lunch at Legs Inn and onto Mackinaw City.
Once in Mackinaw City, the riders can head by ferry to Mackinac Island or dine at the Crossings.
Hundreds of bicyclists, including many families ride in the Zoo-de-Mack. The ride passes through hard woods filled with trillium and travels along Lake Michigan.
Registration Fees generally run from $60-$80/person depending on how early you register.
The fee includes all the events listed above, luggage transportation to Mackinaw City on Saturday, and round trip ferry transportation to and from Mackinac Island on the Star Line Ferry.
