South Haven Thursday Night Rides

The Thursday night ride is generally social. Some nights the faster riders will pull off the front for a faster paced ride averaging speeds above 20 MPH. The remaining riders who usually ride below the 20 MPH pace will stick together to ensure that all riders return home safely and are not left behind somewhere they may not know how to get home.

The ride route varies each week and is usually dictated by the wind direction and group consensus. Distance also varies depending on the number of riders, time of year, and experience level of the riders.

It is recommended that participants are riding road bikes.

The Thursday Night Ride departs from the South Haven Wellness Center located on M-43 just south of downtown at 6pm sharp. It is always recommended to show up about 15 minutes early to meet the riders, gain an idea of where the ride will be going, and about what diestnace the ride will be.

To get to the wellness center from downtown, head south on Broadway about a half mile. You will see the State Police Station on the right and a Quick Stop convenience store on the left. At this point merge left onto M-43 (soft left). The wellness center will be about a third of a mile down on the right.

Coming from the highway north or south, use exit 20. From the exit ramp turn west (towards the lake) to the second stop light. At the second light turn left and follow the directions above for heading south of town.
