About this event

For an end-of-season finale, join me in taming The Dragon! IMO, the most interesting trail network in lower Michigan. Everything you may have heard about it is true - a truly epic MTB experience!

Meet at the north end in Davis Bridge Park. There is a small fee for parking, so bring a few dollars to leave in the envelope deposit...

Multiple options available: easiest would be a down & back on the east side (segments 5 thru 1) - very flowy & not too technical. Harder would be down & back on the west side - segment 6 is secondary roads, 7 thru 10 can be more challenging. Or, join me for a clockwise loop around Hardy Pond - which encompasses all segments.

To emphasize: this is a phenomenal trail, with an exceptionally wide range of riding experiences! But there are portions of the trail that, depending upon conditions, can be pretty challenging. Numerous campgrounds should provide water top-up and lavatory opportunities - but bring some snacks and an extra bottle if you'd like to ride the full loop, as it will likely be a 4+ hr day...

Shoot me a text if you're planning on going, so nobody gets left behind at the trailhead. Hope you can make it!
