Summer Bike Ride on the Leelanau TART Trail

[@BUDDY_HUNT]

Ah, the glorious tart trail!

Just rode this same stretch yesterday July 5 2016, same two guys were baling hay!

Thats interesting. My wife has ridden that trail twice this summer but I have yet to ride it. I will ask her if they where making hay when she went. We have ridden a portion of The National Lake Shore Heritage trail and a few weeks ago rode the Betsie Valley Trail from Beulah to Lk. Michigan at Frankfort. Enjoyed both very much and will have to ride them again. (With a stop at the A&W of course for a frosty mug!)

Nice trail I plan on riding this someday. Does this trail have much shade? Should I expect alot of sun? I am 140 miles south east of Traverse.

[@Dad_at_the_Wheel]

I would say a little more than half of the trail is shaded. There are benches and a spot where a church supplies water, a hand pump, and a port-a-potti along the way. We ride it at least once during the summer. At the end, Suttons Bay is a delightful town. We like the grocery store and the Subway for a cold drink and sandwich. Hope you get to enjoy the ride and Thanks for commenting.

Just found your channel. Great bike trails! Do you usually leave a car at the end of the trail to return to where you started?

[@Dad_at_the_Wheel]

We live in town so bike the whole trail right from our home. But many bikers park their cars at the trail head. Thanks for watching.

I should have said we ride both ways, there and then return back to where we started, our home.
