IMPORTANT COVID-19 CHANGES

ATTN ZOO-DE-MACKERS: After a year off we are thrilled to ride with you all this spring!

Everyone realizes that this year’s Zoo-de-Mack will be a little different than past years. Our safety plan for a SAFE and FUN weekend begins with ALL riders respecting and following the state and CDC guidelines and supporting their enforcement by the Boyne Highlands and ZDM Production team to ensure a smooth and organized event!

IMPORTANT:  In the spirit of the crazy world we are living in…While this is the 31^st Annual Zoo-De-Mack Bike Weekend (Really the 32^nd minus 2020), this year we are also celebrating the 1^st (and only) Zoo-De-MASK “Bike Ride”!!

Registration Includes/Weekend Line-Up as of May 1, 2021:

The official Zoo-De-Mack bicycle ride on Saturday (Wave Time Rolling Start) 
Note:  2021 Registrations will be limited to ensure social distancing at start, lunch and post ride finish line. All registrants will be asked to register for a starting wave time beginning at 8am to spread out the starting line. After you register, watch your inbox for details. We appreciate your help in making this a fun and safely executed event.

Friday Night (Updated 5/1/21):  As everyone knows, we are all about the parties!   As everyone is aware, COVID numbers have been on a roller coaster in April.  We are working very closely with the management at Boyne Highlands to ensure the safety of all the attendees.  At this current time (5/1/21) there will NOT be any organized gatherings Friday night.  However, if numbers continue trending downward, we will try to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and make some type of outdoor gathering happen.  Keep your fingers crossed, but do not count on it…  The Slopeside bar WILL BE OPEN with state capacities and curfew times (11pm) enforced.  Everyone is encouraged to celebrate the ride, and enjoy the beautiful resort in their own socially distant comfort zones.  This year it’s all about focusing on the ride!

Saturday Lunch (Updated 5/1/21)
The Legs Inn will NOT be open until Mid June, however, they are still supporting our lunch service.  At this current time (5/1/21) their building and bluff area will not be open (due to COVID restrictions), and they will most likely provide a grab and go lunch.  We are not sure what this will look like yet, and probably won’t until the week of the event.
Note: Social distancing and Masks WILL BE REQUIRED at all times when you are not riding or eating your lunch.

Finish Line Festivities: (Updated 5/1/21) The great folks at The Crossings & The Depot Bar & Grill are planning the annual welcome reception for the riders as they ride through the finish line. We can’t wait to see you there!
Note: Social distancing at the welcome reception and Masks WILL BE REQUIRED at all times when you are not eating or drinking.

Access to the Zoo-De-Mack chartered (7:30 pm-2:00 am) Star Line Ferries to/from Mackinac Island to Mackinaw City for participants only (so you can enjoy and entire evening on the island and still stay on the main land).
