Live Outdoors
Chain Gang Bicycle and Adventure is a lifestyle focused on "sucking all the fun" out of every day. Adventure types (dubbed Adventureers) attracted to this lifestyle enjoy non-competitive bicycling, hiking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowshoeing, and just about any outdoor activity that involves exercise, challenge and having a really good time (especially cycling).
Chain Gang bicycle and adventure activities are based in St. Clair and Sanilac counties in southeast Michigan (Blue Water area), but have expanded to include statewide, out-state and international destinations. The experience is not supported or sponsored by any organized or official group or institution. All participants are unpaid volunteers. There are no official members or leaders, no dues, and no guarantees.
