Letsbikemqt, with the Marquette County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau are heading for the Windy City to chat up biking with anyone interested in awesome rides. We’ll have a booth at the Chicago Travel and Adventure Show this Saturday and Sunday, January 26 and 27th, 2013. This two day event at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois is the largest travel show in the MidWest and offers exhibitors from all over the world.

We’re hoping to spread the message about how great it is to ride Marquette on a hybrid, road, mountain, cross or fat bike.  Come visit the Marquette County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau booth at the show for a free shirt. Know a friend in Chicago? Tell them to come to our booth and see how great the trails look and feel. Our multimedia presentation offers a bit of everything and we’re looking forward to telling people about the pristine wilderness, constant trail building, great paved bike paths and rolling road ride routes.
