Please park your vehicle in the rear parking lot behind the restaurant.

9:00am-noon: Group Ride. Riders will enjoy two of Michigan’s most popular rail trails during this 20 mile ride as we enjoy mid-summer riding along both the Michigan Airline and West Bloomfield trails. These linked trails provide the backbone of the recently christened Great Lakes-To-Lakes Trail system connecting a series of rail trails traversing the lower portion of the Great Lakes state from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron. The ride will start and finish at the Wixom Station restaurant.

Noon – 1:00pm: Lunch. After the ride, we’ll gather at the Wixom Station restaurant for lunch. Opened in 2014, Wixom Station is an American contemporary restaurant providing an array of freshly-prepared cut-to-order steaks, gourmet pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, Italian favorites, and more in a comfortable setting. A section on their outdoor patio deck has been reserved for our group.
