DALMAC 2021

About DALMAC

Little did then-state Rep. Dick Allen know that an upstart ride in 1971 from Michigan’s capitol to the Mackinac Bridge would evolve into one of the state’s longest-running multi-day bike tours.

2021 is the 50th Dick Allen Lansing to MACkinaw Bicycle Tour! The DALMAC is Michigan’s annual, fully supported, epic end-of-summer bicycle camping tour. Routes wind northward from Michigan State University on country roads and through quaint small towns, ending in historic and beautiful Mackinaw City.

Whether you are new to cycling or an old hand, there are adventures to be had, friendships to be made, and hills to climb.

DALMAC is one of the oldest, lowest cost, all-volunteer-run bicycling tours in the country, celebrating its 50th year in 2021. DALMAC is about the fun of bicycling and sharing the roads! DALMAC originated in 1971 when former state Rep. Dick Allen challenged his friends, colleagues, and constituents to “ride all the way to the bridge” to prove that bikes and cars could share Michigan roads safely. DALMAC seeks to develop an awareness of bicyclists and their needs among the citizens of Michigan, to promote bicycling as a healthy means of transportation and recreation, and to encourage wider use of bicycles. DALMAC is organized and staffed by volunteers of the Lansing-based Tri-County Bicycle Association (TCBA).

Award Winning!
DALMAC was honored as the recipient of the Govenor’s Fitness Awards, Govenor’s Council Extraordinary Event Award.

DALMAC Fund
Established in 1975, has granted over $1.5 million to promote bicycling in Michigan.  For more info visit this website.

DALMAC is an all-volunteer event staffed by members of the Tri-County Bicycle Association (TCBA) of Lansing, MI.

“I loved my DALMAC experience as a first time rider. Fellow riders and support were friendly and helpful.”

“Ride. Eat. Sleep. What more is there?”

Anonymous, DALMAC 2019, 3-Day East rider

“I have always enjoyed the challenge of riding the DALMAC. The joy of meeting new people along the way (DALMAC riders are always friendly) and experiencing Michigan in a one-of-a-kind way. The freedom from electronic media during the ride provides a mind-clearing escape where you can find peace through inner perspective.”

Kevin R., DALMAC 2019, 3-Day East rider

“[DALMAC] gives me a reason to train. I get to come back to Michigan and turn the world off. Hang out with Mike H. But most of all, ALL the VOLUNTEERS at DALMAC are incredible. If you have a problem they will help fix it if possible. I was on the 4D West and Pat [Harrington, Crew Leader] was phenomenal!!!“
