FALL RIDING

Blew out Full Loop yesterday afternoon, clearing all leaves and branches.
Trail is now ready for some great late season riding and will also prep it for Spring Thaw.  Keeping the leaves off helps it dry out faster in the Spring, which means the sooner we'll be able to ride it.
So get out and enjoy a late season ride.

Didn't take time to take a lot of photos, wish I would of, as it was cool to see the black strip snake about the woods. But I was on a mission to complete the whole loop and ran out of gas in the leaf blower on the far end and had to walk back to fill up.

Michigan Mike has been hard at work on a new section of trail and also fixed up the low damp spot by the bridge.

Thanks Michael for all your hard work and volunteering efforts this Spring!

**An ALL NEW more advanced section is almost complete! **

With a mix of good steep climbs and fast downhill sections that will for sure get your heart rate peaked.  There are a few downed trees to cut and a few tweaks to make and it will be ready to be opened up and signed to ride.

Stay Tuned!

ALSO NOTE TO ALL MOUNTAIN BIKERS!

Maplelag Resort will be having their SPRING OPENER RACE on Saturday May 26th!
 Come out and mix it up for a fun event on Maplelag's Sweet Legendary Singletrack!

Blew out entire loop, cleared trees and started a new short and fun, flowy roller section with our newest volunteer, Michael Neusser from Marquette, Michigan.  Thanks for the help!

MARCH 15th!!!

To think 5 days ago I was skiing with solid full coverage on the xc ski trails and today the trail head looks like this!

The Singletrack is about ready to ride!  A few snowy patches left and some puddles of water on the exit section, but after the upcoming forecast of 70+ degrees, it should be ready to ride!  I'm surprised by how fast it dried out.  I'm sure the frost will let out some more moisture, but after witnessing the last few springs on the trails with way more snow fall, I'm thinking it's going to be a non issue with the sandy soil base. So get those bikes ready to ride!

 Drying out Nicely!

Leaves mostly clear throughout!

A few Snow Patches Left.

The Largest section of Snow left on trail system.

The Change of Seasons...Faded Ski Tracks
**New Techy Fun Section was Mapped/Discovered for a spur loop connecter,which will be our 2nd mission after full trail detail and to dial in last Fall's additions.
