Hi guys, I noticed that no one had a list all the places to ride in Michigan. So, I decided to make one. If you know of a track,trail,place to ride that isn't listed below in Michigan PM me and I will add it to the list. Also, if you have rode at any of these places be sure to inform everyone else if you liked it or not. And, what type of riding it was, trails,track, or both. Check back often because I will be updating frequently. And, don't be gentle with the rep. Thanks, BlastfromPast69.
edit: here's a good link to tons of trails in MI......
