Join the 53rd annual Irish Hills Tour, a ride through the varied terrain of Northwestern Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. Choose from three routes to match your experience: a flat 10-mile intro loop, a 31-mile ride, or a challenging 62-mile route that rolls through hills, horse farms, and lakes. Routes are marked with pavement arrows, and SAG support is available for emergencies.
