32-55 Miles

Sister Bay to Washington Island & return.

This may be as close as most of us will ever come to having an entire Island to ourselves with 100 miles of paved roads and hardly any people or cars. Our route will enable us to vary our distances and take us to Sand Dunes Beach, Schoolhouse beach, a gorgeous lavender farm and of course past a few great choices for lunch, coffee + ice cream. There will be time to stop in at the Jacobsen Museum and antique shops, to climb a dune, or relax at the beach. Several ferry boats in each direction make it easy to budget your time on the Island. Easy riding with many picture-perfect photo-ops.

Thursday: June 26 or September 11

39-45 Miles

Sister Bay-Peninsula State Park loop

East to Baileys Harbor and the famous Cana Island light house on the Lake Michigan shore. Then west to Fish Creek, the "downtown" of Door County where you will find many choices for lunch, gifts, and scenic bayside views and parks. Of course our route will take us through Peninsula State Park where you can relax on the beach or visit a historic lighthouse. For decades the park has been regarded by many as the ideal vacation destination. Our scenic road route goes from one end of the park to the other where a great downhill takes us into the town of Ephraim where you are sure to find whatever you didn't in Fish Creek .

Friday: June 27 or September 12

Sister Bay to Sturgeon Bay

Our return to Sturgeon Bay follows the west side of the peninsula to Egg Harbor and the Green Bay shoreline. About this time you will begin to notice a change in demeanor among your fellow cyclists. They have contracted DCWS---Door County Withdrawal Syndrome-----the natural state of mind that sets in when one is faced with the realization that the end of the tour is near at hand and they will be returning to their usual biking areas. Fortunately there are cures. They are called Northwoods, Old World Wisconsin, Florida Keys , Sunshine Tour or San Juan Islands!

Relaxing on the ferry boat to Washington Island

Buffets are a biker's best friend.

DOOR COUNTY.. Wisconsin's most prestigious vacationland... rightfully nicknamed "Cape Cod of the Midwest"...a biker's paradise where you may ride as much or as little as you please...always a beach, pub, or bakery nearby. Shoreline route through Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, and Peninsula State Park...peaceful backroads...picturesque harbors...quaint towns...roads seemingly created just for bikers.

Here's an opportunity to cycle the entire Door County Peninsula, plus a full day on Washington Island where our route provides many miles of empty roads as you glide past beaches, dunes, unique shops, parks and museums. On the mainland, you will have a chance to see shipyards, state parks, back roads through cherry and apple orchards, plus many miles of shoreline scenery.

Loop ride from Sturgeon Bay and three nights in Sister Bay. Five days of photo-op cycling with many miles of shoreline, forests, and State Parks while never far from a beach or pub. A day to remember on Washington Island, where there are 100 miles of paved roads and hardly any cars (or people) to use them. Full service tour with fee that includes hotels with indoor pool and whirlpools, food stops, dinner, baggage truck, and emergency support. And of course.....our own PAW Social hour(s).

"Of nine different week-long tours I have taken, this one ranks among the very best. Definitely the best buy of all tours. Thanks for a wonderful week." DeVon Hoffman/ Goshen, In.
