204-Miler - Au Gres to Ludington
100-Miler - Ludington-Manistee National Forest loop
Race the setting sun as you cross the mighty Mitten — from coast to stunning freshwater coast.
In pursuit of rugged adventure, we discovered a route that stitches together fast gravel roads and signature two-tracks, spanning Michigan’s lower peninsula. With heart pumping challenges and breathtaking views, the course is the only one on Earth that links two freshwater oceans… and it’s waiting for you.
Start your day at the sunrise shores of Lake Huron’s Saginaw Bay. Make one all-out push west, 204 miles through Michigan farmlands and grasslands, the majestic Manistee National Forest, all the way to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan at Ludington.
If Michigan is America’s high five, the Coast to Coast Gravel Grinder is how you earn it.
Or, tackle our rugged 100-mile loop that starts and finishes in Ludington and shares the last 55 miles with the Coast to Coast. Mile for mile, it's more challenging than its big brother, but you get done a lot earlier!
For more details, go to www.micoasttocoast.com
Coast to Coast 5 x finisher and coach Nicholas Stanko is working on a training plan for 204-mile participants. Whether you're a seasoned ultra gravel cyclist or a first time participant, Nicholas hopes to give everyone some guidance so they can have their best race on June 22nd.

Everything changed in 2020. Lock-downs. No events. To hell with it – ADAPT. Crusher-EX was born. We hosted the first truly self-supported Crusher. It was a summer of “watching dots.” One thousand people took on the Crusher that summer, creating a community that has stuck together and grown stronger every year since.

You will be treated to over 4,500' of climbing as you traverse the most scenic and remote sections of Ohio's largest state park. This route option has amazing gravel, outstanding climbs, at least one incredible descent, and three bridal paths (one grass-covered). Additionally, a section of technical double track will test your bike handling skills.
Are you interested in all the fun but with fewer miles? We have got you covered with the 35-mile ¾ Pounder. Enjoy the same great Pebble Pounder experience while bypassing a significant climb and the most technical sections of the Full Pounder. If you elect this route, you’ll still need to bring your climbing legs. You will climb over 100 feet per mile and ride on an amazing grass-covered bridal path.
We've got you covered if you are a racer or an adventure rider. In 2023, the racing field was highly competitive with elite riders pushing the pace and finishing in fewer than 3 hours. 2023 also saw adventure riders completing the route in more than 5 hours. See the 2023 results here.
Whichever route you choose, you can plan on a well-marked route, a well-supplied mid-ride aide station, and a friendly, supportive volunteer staff.
What kind of bike should you ride? A gravel bike or a CX bike will get the job done as will a hard tail 29er. No road bikes here folks. Minimum tire width is 33mm; 40mm or wider is recommended.
Podium prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each category.
