Recently I joined the Range Mountain Bike Club along with my son Jeremy. We meet Wednesday evening at the Ishpeming Country Village for a 12 mile ride with a large group of people. The groups splits up into the A, B and C group depending on the type of riding desired. We go on a lot of single track trails that are medium difficulty. It's a great group and a lot of fun to link up with people who have the same interest. It's a lot of fun!
This past Sunday we went on a 50 mile ride on two track roads with a group of 9 guys that lasted about 7.5 hours. It's the longest ride Jeremy and I have been on. We got into some very scenic areas that I did not know existed so close to our home. We knew to bring extra food and drink, but about 3/4 of the way through we got very hungry and thirsty. It started with a drizzle in the morning but turned out to be a perfect day.
My oldest son Justin is getting into biking now. This is a very popular sport in this area. August 14 is the annual Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic. This event includes the 48 mile Hard Rock and 26 mile Soft Rock races, as well as other races for children. In 2009 over 2300 racers competed.
