A Northport to Traverse City ride. We will take a BATA bus to Northport then ride the roads in Leelanau County and the Tart Trail back to Traverse City.  We will take the BATA bus (bus route #10) to Northport. From there we will take M-22 along the west side of the peninsula to North Eagle Hwy. Right onto Dean Rd. Until we rejoin N. Eagle Hwy. We will continue south to Lake Leelanau. We can stop for coffee and munchies at the Pedaling Beans Coffeehouse (depending on interest). After the stop, we will continue on Lake Leelanau Drive south to Fouch Road. Take a left there and continue east to the Tart Trail. Right onto the trail back to Traverse City. This ride is limited to the first 8 riders due to the limited number of bikes the BATA bus can transport.
