I am suprised no one has posted anything about this monumental event yet. Who is going??
I am actually gonna make it up this year. Not to ride the event but to help run it. I am, as some of you know, a member of the West Michigan Trail Riders. Friday the 30th is our day of the 6 days. And ya all are heading to the Rock! Drummond Island that is. Ya are gonna hit it on Friday near the end of the weeks ridding. You all gonna have some fun out there. :laugh:
I am heading up to Detour on the 28th. We are gonna pre-ride the island to make sure all is well with the marking on Thursday. Then Friday after ya all have started in we are gonna run sweep to tear the marks down and help the straglers get out. I can hardly wait. The island is gonna have a ton of personality after several hundred bikes go thru there. I'm gonna have me some fun :yeehaw:
I guess there is 2 ways to ride Friday. Ya can start in at St Ignace and ride the 100 or so miles of marked trail / 2-tracks / dirt roads to the island then ride the 75 miles or so of trail on the island then head back to St Ignace. Or trailer to Detour and ride from there. Common ya know ya all want to ride 275 on the last day of the 6 days dont ya's..... :yikes:
So I hope to see ya's there. Or should I say hope not to see ya's there. Cause if I find ya it probably means that you are broken down, lost, or bleeding. Or all of the above.
Have a great time.
