Lake Michigan Circle Tour Resources

  • Steve got some detailed maps from Adventure Cycling Association for route 35 in Michigan.  We decided that in some cases it made more sense to simply ride a more direct route than the one indicated on the maps.  Nevertheless, they were valuable.
  •  Steve relied on  a couple of blogs to help him create an possible itinerary; this guy,  and a woman who walked it! 
  • There's also another circle tour journal at the crazyguyonabike site.
  • Wisconsin has several bike maps available Here .  We didn't have these maps but they undoubtedly would have helped.
  • Illinois has maps Here.  We accessed these maps while at a motel and used the motel's business center to print them out.
  • I downloaded a map application, PDF Maps Mobile App, to my Iphone that could display the Wisconsin maps but we really never used it. 
  • Steve used his tablet computer+Google Map+his GPS functionality to help us out several times.  I also used Google Maps+GPS functionality on my phone to figure out where we were.
