May 15, 2010 Frederic ATV Trails

Wow it's been a really long time since I've posted abotu ATVing. The group rode the Frederic ATV trails on Saturday. They were definitely tight and full of tree stumps and rocks and after so much rain the last week were surprisingly dry. Nonetheless we had beautiful perfect weather and a great ride!! Everyone stayed safe and the machines ran perfectly. Thanks Dan and Jen for letting the group stay over at your place just 40 minutes from the trail head.

We also visited a familiar snowmobile stop, the Swamp II Bar, for lunch. It's awesome to be able to ride into town on the ATVs to get gas and food.

Here are some photos from the day:Stopping for a break:The group taking a break and smiling for a photo op:Jenni taking on a steep hill:Dan following behind:Just to prove I was there too :):
Enjoy!!

Only hiccup would be the some trailer issues on the ride home. Half way home the trailer lights stopped working and Scott and Sean spent 2.3 hours rigging enough lights to get us home at 1:30am. As I type this, the guys have spent another 8 hours rewiring the trailers lights. :(

MTR Upper Peninsula Hulbert, MI snowmobile trip 2010

Many miles of riding was to be had in the UP, and it really was a free for all when it came to racking up the mileage on our sleds. A new MTR riding distance record was made when a few folks crossed the 500mile mark. While most of the group put in a not too shabby 300miles of almost non stop morning till night riding. The weather was perfect on this outing with the only wish of a little more snow on the trails. Most of trails where well groomed with some rough riding near towns and some icy patches in the corners per the lack of a good snow base. Despite a few tumbles(Evans, Ang, and Jana), a broken sign (Jessica), one broken tail light (Jenni), and one lucky day dreamer (Scott) No one was hurt and everyone had fun, even our first time renters and riders are up to riding again.

A few of the destinations visited where Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls, and the Soo locks in Sault Ste Marie as well as others.

As you can see some of us where more excited then others during the trip.

MTR Riders: Jana, Sean, Jenni, Dan, Scott, Nina, Evans, Jessica, Brandon, Lisa, Larry, Ang, and Nicole.
