Join student leaders of University of Michigan Sustainable Foods Program and the Campus Farm for a scenic bike ride along the Huron River from Nichols Arboretum (peony gardens) to the U-M Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens where we will join in the "9th Annual Harvest Festival" activities.
The route will be completely off road trails including the B2B and Matthaei Gardens Trail.

The route from Nichols Arboretum to the Campus Farm is just under 6 miles long, and we estimate the trip to take about 30 minutes on bikes. Although the group will start at the same time, we expect that the group will spread out along the way. So feel free to go at your own pace. You can even opt to jog if you would prefer.

Start time: 12:30pm at the Nichols Arboretum: 1610 Washington Heights
Bring your own bike and water bottle! All are welcome to participate.
Don’t have a bike? Check out the link to Adventure Leadership for information on daily bicycle rentals. Or bring your own trail-friendly mode of transportation (jogging shoes, scooter, etc.).

Note: This is a one way group trip, so individuals will need to plan transportation back to central campus.
