Welcome to Bike Benzie!
Hosted by the Benzie Sunrise Rotary Club of Beulah, Michigan, the Bike Benzie Tour is an annual charity ride for the benefit of area youth. In addition, a portion of the proceeds raised by the Tour will be contributed to the Rotary International Foundation to provide matching funds for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation"s

In 2008 Club members established the Benzie Sunrise Rotary Foundation to receive charitable contributions and proceeds from Club fundraisers to further benefit the youth of Benzie County.
