• Pedal & Whine - Albion Malleable Bike Tour

    Press Release: June 18, 2025

    The Pedal & Whine – Albion Malleable Bike Tour scheduled for August 2, 2025-- is a
    fundraising event to support bicycling in Michigan. The Tour attracts hundreds of riders each
    year.

    The ride this year will be hosted once again by the very popular Albion Malleable Brewing
    Company. With 5 routes ranging from 17 to 65 miles on low-traffic paved roads of eastern
    Calhoun and western Jackson counties, this event offers something for every rider. Two
    gravel routes through Amish country south of Homer are also being offered for riders who
    enjoy riding the least traveled roads. E-Bikes will be welcome at this event, and helmets are
    required.

    Riders will be supported by members and friends of the Cascades Cycling Club who will
    provide cold drinks, fruit and tasty snacks at 4 different rest stops along the way. Rider
    support will also be provided by “SAG” drivers who will help fix mechanical problems and
    transport riders back to Albion as needed.

    At the finish, riders will enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the expert staff at Albion
    Malleable Brewing Company.

    The Cascades Cycling Club is a registered 501(c) 4 non-profit in the state of Michigan.
    Founded in 1982 with a mission to promote bicycling for “All Riders – All Abilities”, club
    members have been doing that ever since with scheduled weekly rides and events like
    Pedal & Whine.

    Funds raised by this event have been donated to support bicycling in the area and in
    Michigan, ranging from helping the Chelsea Fire Authority to purchase a mountain bike trail
    rescue vehicle to donating thousands of dollars to the League of Michigan Bicyclists.
