What goin on everybody?

I'm a 2 year noob to the dirt biking scene and have been loving the single track. I have riden the linciln hills/ tin cup area as well as wolverine. I am curious what are the best, there are a lot to choose from and would hate to drive up and end up riding some flat wide open 2 track.

So, What are the best single tracks in michigan or northern ohio?

You might want to consider riding some enduros and or hare scrambles - IMO they offer the best single track opportunity.

Gladwin and cedar creek are the best.

Anyway, I have ridden Evart 3 times over the past couple of weeks, it is clearly the most rocky I have ever seen it with all of the rain we have had. Very tough.

If you want to enjoy some really good single track with out the pressure of a D-14 enduro go to a FES event. Same great trail not as intense. There just happens to be one coming up on 9/11/10 http://www.d14enduro.org/flyers/2010/2010_baby_bear_enduro_flyer.pdf Very good single track you will leave with a big smile on your face. Mike

If you're interested in making the trip to the UP, Moss Lake is very good; I would say the best in the state.

I do agree with Sal though, you see some of the best singletrack in enduros.

I have trouble finding people to ride with at my lack of speed and I get LOST, so the family enduros have been fantastic for me. I have never ridden such a variety of trails or seen such beautiful country. I can't imagine how great the Sunday enduros must be. Try one!

:D The unwritten rule is to not post all over public message boards what the best trails are. You need to talk to people in person to find the best trails.

I ride Cedar Creek once a month or so. If they groom it, I ride it a couple of times a week until it's trashed again. There is no way you will see me or anyone else posting where the groomer has been.

The U.P will pretty much be a waste of gas for you. Unless your into jeep trails. And the bugs are as big as birds.

I think you guys should be telling the truth about the UP and not tring to keep people away. You must learn to embrace the trolls. We like good trials to you know. :nener: The part about the bugs now that is true.

There used to be great riding behind DW's house and a well stocked refrigerator in the garage. But lately it is getting thinner in the woods as he has been eating all the foliage back there and it's getting thinned out so it's not as tight as it used to be. Might have to stage a GNCC back there now. The refrigerator is now stocked with whole wheat saw dust burgers and spinach juice. But you can still go riding there any time you want, just show up. :cool:

gladwin is a waste of time. unless you like wide open whooped out quad trails... it can also get pretty busy since it is the southern most trail system.
