Rules
This is a Spotwalla Required ride.
Photos are required.
The ride must be completed in less than 24 hours.
You
must start at a listed lighthouse corner location. You
must end the ride at the last listed lighthouse corner location.*
You must visit the center location three times.
*A DBR photo in front of your odometer is the preferred method of
documenting your start and end, however it may not be possible at
the lighthouse locations. Take a photo of your bike with the lighthouse in the
background and then get a DBR as close as
practical.
You
should not leave Michigan except for safety reasons but if you do so,
you MUST re-enter Michigan at the same
point you left it. Those miles ridden
outside Michigan are not credited toward the miles for this ride.
You

times. You

Spotwalla.
