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.

June Riding????

Who has plans to ride in June? Jana and I were discussing weekends and she has a shower the 7th so I am free to ride that weekend. The following weekend we are going to the cottage (June 13 - 14). Then 21st - 22nd is fathers day weekend so I am available again as Jana is going over to her Dads. Then I standing up in a wedding on the 27th but would be available on the the 28th because we will likely be home by 10 because I need my beauty sleep...

We discussed trying the Baldwin system last year and I just read they groomed all there trails this spring - so no woops... Maybe try that or wherever. I think Silver Lake will end up after Labor Day.

So lets here whos available for what weekends and maybe hammer out at least one days worth of riding.

When is the next ride?

I can not make Silver Lake June 5th-8th due to family coming into town.
But "Heather" and I are good to go for any other time.
The St. Helens ride was alot of fun!!
It was nice to see everyone and the best part of the whole day was that Larry's quad was fully functional!!
One thing that I love about that place is that no matter how many times I go it seems like I ride someplace different!
