About This Activity
A 12 Hour Team or 6 Hour Solo multi-lap or “ronde” Mountain Bike Race around the Michigan Tech trail system with a celebratory atmosphere. Get a team together or come as a solo rider, either way join us for a “Rondevous”.
The name: “Rondevous” is a play of the Dutch word for lap – “ronde” and the word “rendezvous” – a traditional celebration of the French fur trappers. The “Ronde” is also a monumental European bike race in the Flanders region, notable for requiring very strong riding to win. The Rondevous race is a celebration of MTB riding.
