Trail Update...




A few more days of dry weather may make the trails east (down hill) of Core Loop safe to ride, but with rain forecast for the weekend, we'll have to take a wait and see attitude. It will be a while longer for the west (upper) trails to dry since they generally aren't as well drained.

And please don't ride on the ski trails. They are especially soft and vulnerable right now,

You Missed a Good Ride...




So, I don't want to rub it in anyone's face... but you all missed a great ride this morning -- Saturday. Three people showed up for the ride and I don't think that any of us were too excited about the weather, but once we were on the road all of our concerns were washed away... literally. For most of the ride we enjoyed just a slight drizzle until the last mile or so when we were hit with a little squall. However, luck would have it and the Parkview lodge was in sight. We stopped, rung out our socks, had a great breakfast (if you haven't been good prices, good portions, great food), then jumped back on the bike and headed back towards Houghton.

At the beginning of each leg it was a little chilly, but once you were going everything was good. If you are looking to get some base miles in and enjoy riding with other people, consider coming out next Saturday. It's always a good time and you usually don't regret going.

Thanks Muir and Jay for showing up and making sure I didn't punk out...

Ride Safe!

Knock! Knock!... Who's there..?


It's Spring!  That's right... I don't know if anyone's noticed, but today it was over 50 degrees here in Houghton. If that doesn't say "Get out and ride," I don't know what does.  Nows the time to start checking over your equipment, deciding if those shorts can make it another season, putting a new layer of duct tape on your gloves, and watching bike movies with all your cycling buddies...

- For Free
- at the MTU Forestry Building room G002
- Wednesday, April 16th from 7-9pm

And just so everyone knows, the Saturday following the movie will be the first group road ride on the KCC calendar.  If you have a ride that you want posted just e-mail someone on our contact page.  Hope to see you there.

Ride Safe!
