Route Details

This route will take you on two traffic free rail trail paths. There are three breweries along the way. First stop is off the trail a bit at @poi[Loggers Brewing](5187816). Secondly you'll stop in Frankenmuth at @poi[Frankenmuth Brewery](5187817) for some food and drinks. You can eat at a vast amount of places in Frankenmuth so don't feel limited to the brewery. Lastly you'll come back into town and end at @poi[Oracle Brewing](5187818) right next to the wonderful Pasongs restaurant and Mac's speakeasy. The ride is a lot of fun and a great way to get in a good 100k for the day.

# Route

* @poi[Loggers](5187816) is bike friendly as well as @poi[Oracle](5187818) with locations out front to park your bike. @point[Frankenmuth Brewery](d,57265.29) is a bit of a wait during peak hours and there is limited parking. You may have to lock your bike up a block or so away and walk to area.
* There is only two stops for food if you don't pack anything. Prepare yourself to eat either with a food truck at Loggers, in Old Town Saginaw, or at Frankenmuth.
* [Frankenmuth](https://www.frankenmuth.org/) has plenty of sights and many places to see. Don't hesitate to make a whole day out of this. 
* Be careful in Saginaw and have a spare tube. *I got a flat on the ride due to a nail. This is obvious, but I wanted to point that out.*
* The route does follow a semi busy road. **Be cautious of cars.**

# Notes

* This ride is good for Summer and Fall, although Fall better.
* There are many open fields closer to Frankenmuth. Much of the wind is strong so a windbreaker is suggested. 
* Anyone should be able to make this ride as long as they have done a long day ride of 50+ miles prior.
* Two water bottles on a mild day should suite you fine and plenty of stops should provide you more water if needed.
