Thank you for your interest in the 38th annual
Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinaw (DALMAC) bicycle tour!

Founded in 1971 by former State Sen. Dick Allen, the 2008 DALMAC offers 2,400 bicyclists a choice of five routes beginning from MSU in East Lansing and ending in Mackinaw City or DeTour Village.  Proceeds from the tour support The DALMAC Fund, which grants money for bicycle-related projects statewide.

As routes fill, we will close on-line registration and accept USPS applications postmarked no later than that date.  If you are riding with a group, either mail your application or register on-line on the same day as your friends.

Please take a moment to read the entire application booklet before registering.  Doing so will help ensure an enjoyable trip for all.

DALMAC is made possible by the year-round efforts of Tri-County Bicycle Association (TCBA) volunteers.

Note: As of May 5, 2008, over 2300 people have registered for DALMAC!!
 
Acceptance letters were sent out on May 6 to all riders who registered prior to that date.  Letters were sent first-class, so if you have not yet received your letter, you need to contact us immediately.  You will need your acceptance letter to claim your registration packet or to cancel your enrollment.
 
All riders who registered after May 6, 2008 will receive their acceptance letter approximately two weeks after payment has been received.

Here is a summary of the 2008 Routes: Thank you for your interest in DALMAC,
