If you want to enjoy the Michigan countryside, and have a nice long relaxing cruise, this is the route we recommend. We want to start you off in Plymouth Michigan and then take you West of Ann Arbor by about 20 miles. Great views, fresh air, and easy road to boot.
To get to this great cruising spot we recommend hopping onto M-14 East out of the city and hopping off at Beck Rd. ext. #18. Go South on Beck Road then West on North Territory. Enjoy N. Territory until you hit 52 (West of Ann Arbor) and then South to Chelsea Michigan. From there you can hop back on 94, or loop back up and take N. Territorial back the way you came.
Around the Thumb
Distance: 90 miles
MPH: 40 most of the way, occasional 55 MPH
Best Times to Go: Every Weekend from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM from May To September

The Thumb is an iconic feature of Michigan that led to its iconic nickname, the Mitten State. However, did you know it was also Michigan’s first scenic highway? Since the 1940s, people used to ride around the Thumb to enjoy the 9 parks that line the area and other rare and unique sights. While M-25 is now used for trucks, this is the perfect motorcycle trip for people who want to see wonderful, new sights. This is the perfect motorcycle route for a one to two-day trip!
