Weekly Monday night ride at Burchfield

[F7Cannon]

I can coast just like on a geard bike, it's a SS not a fixed geard. I just don't know if I can get up enough speed in that section, still hit it straight on and get up to the top. Eventually I will probably give it a shot but for now I will just admire how pretty it is.

Is this chapter still operational? I just moved here from North Carolina and am looking to ride this afternoon around 4:30.

Is this a hard trail? I don't really care for climbing.

This is not a HT; more For Softies.

Good, then I should fit right in. Anyone coming out?

Popped my third spoke in as many rides Saturday. Having my wheels relaced.

We don't take kindly to folk from North Carolina.

I hope your in the best shape of your life, its the toughest trail in all of Holt Michigan.

This is kind of a locals only trail. You can come out if you want but don't expect anybody to hold your hand or draw you a map. It's the toughest trail by far in the state with miles and miles of climbing, nasty three to five foot drops, and wicked fast decents so you beter have a fs bike with at lest 5 inches of travel!

See you at 4:30 North Carolina boy!

Nope, I am focusing on maybe making the transition into gravity powered cycling....

Guess everybody was out trick or treating today, only one other person on the trails. Nice day for a ride.

I was gonna come down. My parts came in and took me a bit to install. I didn't have enough daylight left, so I just snuck in 5 miles in Owosso before dark.

Good day for it. Not too many of them left.

Sweet ride out there this a.m.!

Beautiful day weather wise today Anne, too bad the trails are still covered with leaves. I am pretty sure we are going to try a different approach next year with an adopt a trail system. I already know a few people who are on board too.

... too bad the trails are still covered with leaves.

Yeah, it's weird--seems to happen about this time every year....must be vandals!

I bet if you threw some studs on that Mukluk it would make one heckuva leaf collector. Prolly make leaf lowers obsolete.

I wish the assistant TC would go out there and do something about it!

I think the fact that the leaves were lowered is the problem. Eliminating the leaf lowers would be helpful!
