Veteran's Summer Biking Club

Join UP Vets Served for an inclusive biking series for veterans and their immediate family members! These relaxed rides along the Marquette bike path include shared meals from Marquette restaurants and mindfulness sessions that incorporate gentle movement, breathing exercises, and guided meditation to help participants deepen their connection to their breath, their body, and the present moment. Veterans who prefer not to ride are welcome to join for the meal and mindfulness portion.

All rides go from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm (give or take) and will begin and end at:

Superior Mini Storage
2120 Sugarloaf Avenue
Marquette, MI

Dates and correlating park destinations are following. Join for one, some, or all!

June 5 - McCarty’s Cove
June 26 - Shiras Park
July 17 - Presque Isle Park
August 7 - Presque Isle Park
August 28 - Shiras Park
September 18 - Ellwood Mattson Lower Harbor Park

Registration is required by the Wednesday of the bike rides you would like to join by calling 906-936-0908. This ensures that you will have a meal and an accessible bike if necessary.

SAIL has a fleet of 21 adaptive, accessible on site for free use at these and other events! If you're interested in learning more about these bikes, call Tim at 906-936-0908 to find one to use that’s right for you!

In case of poor weather, meal and mindfulness events will move to the SAIL Office, located at 1025 West Washington Street, Suite C, in Marquette.

UPVETS Served is a free, accessible recreation program for U.P. veterans and their immediate families. All programming and meals are paid for through generous donations to SAIL’s 1-in-4 campaign.
