In 2025, Bike Week is May 10-17. Plus, May is National Bike Month, and includes Bike to Work Week and Bike to Work Day! Organizing Bike Week ramps up in January.

Bike Week underscoreS the role bicycling plays in building economically strong AND Physically & MENTALLY HEALTHY communities. Its value IS greater than any one event.

Trailblazer 2020 - Postponed to May 8, 2021

The 2020 Trailblazer has been postponed until May 8, 2021. Please consider the information below for the 2020 Trailblazer as a “sneak preview” of one of the area’s many fantastic rides.

Enjoy one of the first rides of spring on the Kal-Haven Trail. The 34-mile Trail links Kalamazoo and South Haven. It offers a compacted limestone/slag surface. Adjoining road routes of 25, 45, 70 and 100 miles are marked for road bikes.

Many riders like to bike the Kal-Haven one way, parking at either South Haven or Kalamazoo and taking our 8:00am early morning shuttle to the opposite staging area to bike back. See details at https://snapregistration.com/e/kalhaven/

Be sure to join us in Bloomingdale for music and hot lunch.

Proceeds to support expansion and maintenance of the Trails and Trail programming.
