Once in Mackinaw City, the riders can head by ferry to Mackinac Island or dine at the Crossings.

Registration Fees generally run from $60-$80/person depending on how early you register.
The fee includes all the events listed above, luggage transportation to Mackinaw City on Saturday, and round trip ferry transportation to and from Mackinac Island on the Star Line Ferry.
