Well, I finally did it. I gave myself a big orange birthday present and bought a KTM 450EXC on Monday. Mike (Napper, aka Michman)at Lansing Cycle/Enduro Engineering did a wonderful job setting up the suspension and I'm totally thrilled with the bike. Coming off a XR250 it is big change. Between the power, the suspension, estart, yada yada...
Anyways, I'm looking for some new trail suggestions. My son and I have ridden on the Traverse City trails but that has been about it except for the UP and private property. I'd like to find something a little closer to Lansing such as some of the trails around Higgins/Houghton lake area. Do any of these trails have some easier loops? Preferably something not too terribly sandy since I still have a tough time with the real loose stuff.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I'm going to call CCC to join and am wondering if the trail book just has maps or some descriptions on the various trails?
