Interested in options
?

... If it's a shorter ride you are looking for,  join the 12 mile, roundtrip alternative from Shady Lane where the bike trail crosses the road. Parking at this juncture is allowable along the road. Meet at 9:30, depart at 9:45.
....And a Leo Preserve Tour option. If  not interested, keep pedaling the short distance into Sutton's Bay and the official trail's end. Turn back to reunite with fellow riders at the Leo Preserve. En masse, we will  pedal to Hop Lot.  

Way-finding tips for all: Street addresses are not assigned to the designated trailheads. Know that Fouch Road trailhead is accessed by taking M22 to Cherry Bend. Heading west, Fouch Rd is the continuation of Cherry Bend after Center Rd splits off to the north. For Shady Lane riders, take M22 (SW Bay Shore)  into Bingham Twp. and turn left on Shady Ln (E Shady Ln).  Continue until the trail intersection is apparent on both sides of the road, Park roadside. 

Comfort stations
available at Fouch Rd trailhead, Leo Preserve, and Hop Lot.
