I grew up in Michigan and when I got old enough moved out west. Now I'm back again with my family (around Grand Haven) because Michigan is a good place to grow up and my wife and I missed it. When I was a kid, you could ride everywhere. I rode lots of gravel pits and such. Nothing much more fun than that. Out west there are a lot of, what I guess you would call, wide open riding opportunities. I'm getting better at riding the tight narrow DNR trails, but I really need to rethink my bikes and my son's bike to make the most of that. At this point the DNR trails are pretty scary to my 12 year old. My questions are:
1. Are there any gravel pits left where you can ride?
2. What is the best of the DNR scramble areas? Is it hard not to get run over at these?
3. What are the best laid back non-extreme practice tracks?
Thanks alot for any help you can give me.
