Good ol' Michigan
I'm in Michigan for the week to see family, etc. and had the pleasure of riding my mountain bike for the first time ever in this state. I did not start riding until about 2 1/2 years ago, and this is the first time I've actually brought my bike with me up here. I went to Bloomer, which was surprisingly technical, sandy, and reminiscent of the Razorback course in Reddick, FL, which I really like. The only problem, if you see it as a problem, is that Bloomer is not marked or maintained so there are lots of trees down, it's super sandy, and hard to navigate if you're not familiar with the trail. If I knew how to put all the sections of trail together, it might actually have some good flow. Anyway, I'm happy to have a cool place to ride that is less than 30 min. from my parents house. The ride was short but I hope to get out at least 2 more times while I'm here. I have lots of other things to do like buy good beer (Founders Ale and Bells) to take back with me to GA. I don't know what I like better, MI or NC microbrews - tough call - good thing I don't have to decide.
Oh, I just read the Wingnut Gear 3.0 review in this month's Bike Magazine. It was a very positive review, obviously, so make sure you check it out!

Have you tried Founder's Rubaeous yet? I think that I just slaughtered the spelling but oh well :-) It's a raspberry beer and super yummy. Normally I don't like fruity beers but this one is really good. The only problem is that I drink it like it's Kool-aid.
nope! i don't normally like fruity beers either, but i will take your recommendation and get it if i find it. mmmm...beer.
