Good morning PALM family,
Our PALM volunteers are thrilled that you chose to spend your week with us. We want to thank you for joining us on our hardest route that PALM takes. There is a reason that we only come this far north every ten years!
Many of you have great accomplishments to celebrate: riding your longest distance, riding your greatest elevation climb, learning to shift your bike, fixing a flat tire on your own for the first time, joining the tour, finishing your first tour, riding a century and many more. We would like to congratulate you on all your accomplishments, big and small.
As you are wrapping up your week, don't forget to ; dry out your gear, add your pictures to the google drive (linked below), wash your laundry and clean your bike. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kRSbrELrysEaYoaTA https://photos.app.goo.gl/rVb3vcLerYAwGTQM7
PALM is always looking to grow and improve our practices. Your feedback is how we do this. Please consider taking a moment to complete this brief survey: https://forms.gle/y7F4FtyWYdEc1moV9
If you are curious or interested in volunteer opportunities, or would like to propose a route for PALM 2027, please bring your lunch and join us at our annual picnic on September 13 at 2pm in the pavilion area at Granger Park : 1745 Granger Meadows Ln, Lansing, MI 48906. This meeting is where volunteer positions are filled, board positions up for renewal are nominated, our route is voted (everyone there gets a vote) and the feedback from this year is reviewed for improvement.

I hope to see you all again next year,
Jess Rasmussen
PALM Chair 2026

Our 325 miles of trail pe*****te northern Michigan's most beautiful places, from the wooded interior to the sugar sand beaches. There's so much trail, it's hard to experience it all. There are countless incredible views, and you never have to leave the trail to see the best stuff.

With that much public territory to explore, we want to remind trail users to always respect private property owners along the trail. That means staying on the marked trail. We know how tempting it is, but just because you can see something interesting from the trail doesn't mean you necessarily have access to it.

Aside from disrespecting property owners, trespassing can lead to legal fines and more. Most of the time, private property is well marked with a variety of signage. Trail users should always abide by it, affording property owners their privacy.

We always want to have good relationships with, and cooperation from trail-side property owners. Respecting their rights is essential.
