St. Helens to Houghton Lake Ride

Maps! You do not need any maps where you are going…

The morning of Saturday the 22nd started as rain and cloudy, it was so wet that I did not have high hopes of the trail conditions being any good for sport quads. I packed a poncho and even made a last minute purchase of new boots before arriving in St. Helens.
Once on the trails the ride was smooth with no dust, no bugs, and no big puddles? Yep, it turns out the trails where perfect and well graded.

We made are way to the Denton Trial connector, then on to the Denton Creek Trails all the way to Houghton Lake.

Not too bad for not having any maps, not that we did not get lost. But you know the old story of having to drive though a few subdivisions trying to find the trails then making a few left hand turns when we should have turned right, no gas, no food, and yet some how we always make it back. After the ride we agreed that these trails will have to be ridden again.

MTR Riders: Chad, Greg, and Larry

Day trip to St. Helens this Saturday the 22nd

Well we did have different plans and rather of conquered the trails on the east side of the Roscommon area, but due to the wildfires Chad made the executive decision to ride in St. Helens and go west for our one day get away.

We are planning on meeting off 75 and Mount Morris road exit at 8am in the Mobile gas station.
So far the riders will be Chad, Greg, and Larry. Let us know if you are interested in tagging along.


Chad had made some upgrades over the winter to the Z400; now let us see if the Suzuki is still a mud puddle magnet.

April 17 BBQ and 19th Ride

We had our first un-official Club BBQ on April 17th at Dan and Jen's place. We also did some maintenance on the machines and loaded up the trailer for our Sunday ride up to St. Helens, MI.
Here are some photos:

Scott, Sean, Larry and I (Jana) drove up to St. Helens, it was a blast. Still waiting on some photos from Larry. We drove two of the NEW machines for the first time on trails (the Suzuki and the Outlaw). What were the highlights guys???

First Ride: St. Helens Oct 7, 2007

Here are some photos from our first ride. It was a very HOT, dusty day, but we had a blast. Only some minor problems with one of the Scramblers (overheating), but after a 30 min break we were back to the trails. Beverly's inaugural ride.
