We have Iowa covered....Now let's ride across Michigan!

ODRAM: One Day Ride Across Michigan

Registration for #ODRAM2026 is now open. Join us as we ride across the state of Michigan on Saturday, August 8, 2026, starting at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury and finishing at Bay City State Park. Bus & Lodging options will be available.

This is a one-direction west-to east ride, so there will be some planning involved in finishing or starting and returning to your car. My plan is park at the end and take the bus ride back to the Saturday morning start. There are designated rest stops along the route but no official SAG service, so a degree of self-sufficiency is useful here.

Registration is required at the link provided.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 8, 2026. We will follow the traditional 150ish mile ODRAM route, from Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury Michigan, across the state to Bay City State Recreation Area. Proceeds from ODRAM will again benefit the Breakthrough T1D™ Ride (formerly JDRF) Program

All riders are treated to hot buffet breakfast, lunch near the 80 mile mark, a celebration cookout dinner at the finish and 2 refreshment stations (1 before and 1 after lunch). Medals will be awarded at the finish line. There is no SAG support.

ODRAM is a charity ride. The proceeds from the ride are donated to Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), the leading private funder for type 1 diabetes research.

It's not mandatory, but if you feel inclined to support the cause, you can donate and follow my progress here: https://www.Pledgereg.com/541783
