North Missaukee Trails - GREAT Ride!!

Thank you to Chad for finding the cabin, and thank you to Larry for posting the pictures.
I will send Larry my pics as soon as I can.
If anyone else has any pictures, please send them to Larry.

Oh yeah, took the beast to the shop and they said that I need to run 93 octane gas......But they are going to check the carb anyway.....yeah, I think they are covering the fact that it was not jetted right. But what do I know.

Thanks,

North Missaukee Trails Lake City MI

What can I really say about this trip? We came, we saw, we rode, we conquered!

MTR logged a record breaking 106miles of trail riding bliss. Rehab is in store for the rest of the week but it was well worth it.

Chad did well when he found a log cabin for us at Rustic Rafters. These cabins are very well maintained, clean, and accommodating.

Our record breaking ride was just awesome and we are already geeked about riding these great trails again. The trails had a good mix of wide flat fast riding, windy and tight, and a few hills. No dust in the morning however the dust started to get bad and the end of our ride. The woops, and puddles where at a minimum.

MTR riders included: Chad, Fred, Greg, Larry, Sean, and Scott.

North Missaukee Trail June 19th Weekend

North Missaukee Trail - Missaukee County

Greg and Chad will be heading up probably around noonish on Friday. Fred and Larry will be leaving later in the afternoon.

There are at least 70 miles of trails, so bring gas cans, ibuprofen, and muscle relaxers.

We are staying at http://www.rusticrafters.com/ campground, in a cabin that is next to the overflow parking lot so that we will have room to park our assorted vehicles.

Cabin check out is normally noon, but this is the slow time, if we want to stay until 4 or so, that shouldn't be a problem. The cost is 70.00 a night.

The trailhead is less than 2 miles away, and we can ride on the county roads there and back, and also to get gas once we are out on the trail.

June 5th Ride - St. Helen

Finally, an update.

Greg and I had a good ride in St. Helen June 5th. Guessing we did close to 50 miles, including riding all the way into Roscommon for a bite to eat.

We actually met a Sheriff at the gas station, and we apparently where following all the rules because she was very polite and wished us a good weekend.

Greg's new quad is a beast, but it has problems at stop signs.

In pure Greg fashion, it has a slight fear of mud, choosing to go around instead of the noble route.

We found a really nice scramble area that has turned into a lake.

Friday June 5th

All,
Chad and I are going riding on Friday.
Let us know if you are interested.
We are going to either Huron or the Geels.

Mackinac Bridge

Hey this isn't necessarily related to the blog, but thought it was a cool pic. I have some more from under the bridge.

Edited to Add (ETA): I took this picture 30MAY09 from the Light House Tour Cruise in Mackinaw. This is from the top of the Shepler's Ferry. That is the UP side in the background.
