ROUTE INFORMATION!
All three of the courses will begin at the Van Buren County Human Services building, located at 801 Hazen St., Paw Paw MI. The 57 mile ride will include SAG stops at both Lawton Park and Decatur Veteran's Park. The 43 mile course will have the same two SAG stops, and the 23 mile course will have just one SAG stop outside of the downtown Lawton area.
At the start and finish, we will have QR codes to connect you to an app called Map My Ride. We will also have turn-by-turn directions. And, just to make sure that you stay on course, the routes are also marked.
