SUMMARY:Peninsula Party 2026
DESCRIPTION:Peninsula Party 2026\nPretty Version Here \nFive Ferries – May 16 through September 30\nOur second-annual\, season-long ride to explore our beautiful state of Michigan and some of its unique features\, plus have a great time on your motorcycle. This year\, we are focusing on ferries of all kinds: some your bike can ride with you\, some you take alone\, and even a pedestrian chain ferry. We have prizes for several levels of participants! \nWe are also taking inspiration from the ADV Cannonball Rally by looping some custom technology developed for rides just like this. This year is transitionary\, so Riders can participate in the event two ways: by sending in photos of their bike on five different ferries from the list to Steve or Max\, or by registering with BMWMCGR to use the Rally app (available to iPhone and Android) and having the Rally app logged in and open when arriving at specific GPS checkpoints to earn points. \nHow does registering work?\nThe Rally app requires you to log in for it to start watching if you enter into a GPS checkpoint area. The good news is that there are no usernames or passwords to remember— only a 5-digit token code that we will issue you. \nBut that means that we need to know who wants to play! Any time before May 16\, go to https://shop.bmwmcgr.com/pp26 and complete the form to pre-register and any time during the event to register. For those pre-registering\, you will receive an email detailing rules and how to use the app. Those who register after the start date will receive this email within one business day. We encourage anyone with questions to call in and ask\, or better yet to stop by for a personal introduction to the app. \nCool\, I’m in. How does this work?\nOnce your Rider account is set up\, it is your responsibility to log in\, remember your token (you’ll get an email for your records)\, and ensure that the app is active when you are at a checkpoint. Account tokens can be re-requested at a 10 point penalty. \nAt the start of your rides\, please ensure the Rally app is active by opening it. Do not close the app\, simply switch to the home screen or just lock the phone as if you were putting it in your pocket. Ride your ride. Once at a checkpoint\, you should receive a notification automatically. It is recommended to double-check in the app when you’re there. When you are not riding\, or any time you do not wish for your location to be broadcast\, it should be sufficient to close the app (not switching away from it\, actively closing the app.) Remember to open it again before you take off again! \nWhat locations??\nIn late 2025\, Steve teased 9 ferries for this year. If you would rather not participate in the madness above\, these routes are: \n\nLake Express – Muskegon\, MI to Milwaukee\, WI\nSS Badger – Ludington\, MI to Manitowoc\, WI\nIronton Ferry – South arm of Lake Charlevoix\nBeaver Island – Out of Charlevoix\, MI\nSugar Island – Out of Sault Ste. Marie\, MI\nNebbish Island – Out of Barbeau\, MI\nDrummond Island – Out of De Tour Village\, MI\nBois Blanc Island – Out of Cheboygan\, MI\nAlgonac Ferry – Algonac\, MI to Walpole Island (Canada!)\n\nBut\, if you enjoy a little madness and want to try this new system please refer to the next page. The mainland checkpoints are all worth 10 points\, and the checkpoints attainable only by actually riding the ferry are worth 21 points. \nSo what do I get for participating?\nWe have two tiers of participant winners this year: \n\nPeninsula Party 2026 Coffee Mug – For those who complete the Party via the photo method\, or those whom earn 144 or more Rally app points.\nPeninsula Party 2026 Rider Shirt – For those whom earn 288 or more Rally app points.\n\nStill reading and excited? Awesome!\nWe’re so excited to kick off this year’s Peninsula Party\, and ultimately have bigger plans for next year so we’d love to hear your feedback. Below you will find a manual list of the GPS checkpoints but the intro email will include a GPX file with all of them as well. \nSS Badger Ferry Dock — Ludington \n43.949081\, -86.451136 \n10 Points \nSS Badger Ferry Dock — Manitowoc\, WI \n44.090186\, -87.651231 \n10 Points \nSS Badger — On the Water \n43.9527389\, -86.469425 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nLake Express Ferry — Muskegon \n43.2195\, -86.291833 \n10 Points \nLake Express Ferry — Milwaukee\, WI \n43.003669\, -87.885842 \n10 Points \nLake Express — On the Water \n43.2247694\, -87.885842 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nStar Line / Arnold Dock — Mackinaw City \n45.772172\, -84.725861 \n10 Points \nShepler’s Ferry Dock — Mackinaw City \n45.782472\, -84.723364 \n10 Points \nMackinac Island \n45.850425\, -84.616639 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nGateway to Les Cheneaux Islands \n45.995208\, -84.363425 \n10 Points \n⸻ \nBeaver Island Ferry Dock — Charlevoix (Mainland) \n45.318339\, -85.258133 \n10 Points \nBeaver Island Ferry Dock — Island \n45.7469667\, -85.519117 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nDrummond Island Ferry — Mainland \n45.9922778\, -83.898789 \n10 Points \nDrummond Island Ferry — Island \n45.988711\, -83.878017 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nSugar Island Ferry — Mainland \n46.486122\, -84.302328 \n10 Points \nSugar Island Ferry — Island \n46.484867\, -84.296994 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nNeebish Island Ferry — Mainland \n46.284578\, -84.212803 \n10 Points \nNeebish Island Ferry — Island \n46.285219\, -84.209103 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nIronton Ferry — West Landing \n45.256244\, -85.185656 \n10 Points \nIronton Ferry — East Landing \n45.255894\, -85.182156 \n10 Points \n⸻ \nBois Blanc Island Ferry — Mainland \n45.645467\, -84.474403 \n10 Points \nBois Blanc Island Ferry — Island \n45.727658\, -84.452325 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nAlgonac Ferry Dock \n42.618767\, -82.529989 \n10 Points \nWalpole Island Ferry — Canada! \n42.615019\, -82.514514 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nHarsens Island Ferry — Mainland \n42.618031\, -82.560575 \n10 Points \nHarsens Island Ferry — Island \n42.61405\, -82.561264 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nSaugatuck Chain Ferry \n42.658383\, -86.205517 \n10 Points \n⸻ \nManitou Island Transit Dock — Leland \n45.023847\, -85.761933 \n10 Points \nNorth Manitou Island Dock \n45.1214083\, -85.975489 \n21 Points \nSouth Manitou Island Dock \n45.012189\, -86.094642 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nGrand Island Ferry — Mainland \n46.444881\, -86.664633 \n10 Points \nGrand Island Ferry — Island \n46.451214\, -86.671281 \n21 Points \n⸻ \nIsle Royale Ferry Dock — Mainland \n47.4702222\, -87.890753 \n10 Points \nIsle Royale Visitors Center — Houghton \n47.122933\, -88.563747 \n10 Points \nIsle Royale Ferry Dock — Island \n48.145786\, -88.486036 \n21 PointsFor those who relish a challenge… \nYou might have noticed there are significantly more points available than what is necessary to earn rewards at the end of the season. This is by design: we want you to have the best riding season that works for you. \nHowever…. Out there exists the completionist. Plus\, many of the previous years’ Partiers mentioned their appreciation of the competitive aspect. (Let us be clear\, we discourage unsafe riding in any form: from icy riding to speeding.) The first Rider to achieve all checkpoints\, or if no one does\, the highest point earner on September 30th\, earns a set of Dunlop RoadSmart 4 or Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires in their or the closest size available.
