I'm not sure what my schedule is like on Saturday and the weather looks a little iffy, but I'm interested to know if You Are Interested in riding on some easy to moderate (by Michigan standards) trails.

Holdridge has a fairly extensive system, with lots of tight twisting trails and few technical obstacles.

Holly Rec has a trail that is easier, wider, and less traveled.  Its only about 5-6 miles long through.

Neither have outrageous climbs, but there are some hills.

I haven't been on either trail in a while, so I don't know what the conditions are.

 Interested?

This could be a very beginner friendly ride.

Matt

I might be interested in Holly.  I have a fund raiser in the afternoon/evening to attend, so it would have to be morning.  I will have to check with the wife to see what the morning holds for us.

Joe,

If I end up doing it, about 75% chance, it'll be morning.  I have to meet a guy over in Durand at 5am.  I'm selling one of my vintage snowmobiles and I'm dropping it off to his hotel.  The guy is coming all the way to MI from WI, for a snowmobile show.  Wow, I thought triathletes were wired funny!

So, since I'll be out and running around so early, I figured I'd head over there afterwards, and run for a while, then ride a little later in the morning.  I need to be home by 11:00 at the latest.

I hope to finally have a face to put with the name.

Okay, I'm thinking that I'll be out there running at 8:00am.  One loop of the McGinnis Lake Trail and its connection over to the parking lot on the Herron Lake side. I think I'll start the run at about 8am.  I'm going slow and easy, since I really haven't been running lately.

Then at 9:30am, we'll bike from the same location.  The loop is just over 5 miles if I remember correctly.  Its mainly a single track trail, but its fairly open and the climbs aren't too bad.  I figure it'll take about 45 minutes per loop, if we aren't flying through it.

I have a friend that wants to join us, and he really flies.  If you want to tear it up, you can hang with him.

I need to be home by 11am.

The weather is going to be pretty cool, and there might be moisture.

Moist, early mornings are not my thang.  I might have to drag the ferret out to ILRA instead.

You suck.  Besides, 9:30 isn't that early.

Sorry guys I'm out. I have a ticket to the Illinois/Northwestern game at Ford Field. So Sorry, but this time of year football takes precedence.
