Ride. Connect. Discover Michigan.

PALM is a 100% volunteer-powered, nonprofit organization behind a 6-day, family-friendly bicycle tour across Michigan’s Lower Peninsula—rolling every year during the last full week of June.

No two years are the same. Our routes change annually, showcasing Michigan’s most scenic backroads, charming towns, and unforgettable landscapes. It’s not just a ride—it’s a moving community.

What Makes PALM Special?

💧 Regular water stops to keep you fueled and smiling
🍉 Fresh watermelon & licorice breaks (because joy matters)
🔧 On-route bike mechanics for the “just in case” moments
🚲 Bicycle education for riders of all skill levels
🎨 Kid-friendly activities to keep young riders happy and engaged

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist, a first-time tour rider, or bringing the whole family—PALM meets you where you are and rides forward together.

Pedal with purpose. Ride with heart. Experience Michigan—PALM style.
