Dont even try to ride like guys who been at it for a while. The most important thing is to just have FUN. Let me tell you something, I just busted up my knee real bad and been off work laying on the couch for two months.....that isnt fun. Dirt Bikin' is fun.
Isnt there lots of riding places in Michigan? The only place in Michigan I've ever been is Bay City and there seemed like lots of good riding places.?.?

i live 15 minutes north of baycity in standish. we have lots of riding places here just not some good stuff for bikes, its all 4 foot mud from the trucks and atvs. yea, i traded this kid i work with for this bike. it was a basket case. it was a frame with a rebuilt motor sitting in it. so while everything was apart i cleaned and painted and greased. bike runs great and is a freakin monster. just need new plastics various bearnigs, a chain, new back tire and a new silencer.

The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan is a great club to belong too. They have the trail maps of all the legal trails in Michigan. We have single track, 50 inch and orv routes,they are mapped out, and most are regularly groomed, to eliminate the woops. I am pretty sure that Michigan has the largest trail network in the world that is mapped,groomed and legal to ride on. cycleconservationclub.org
You can also access some of those maps through the Michigan DNR. I think I read somewhere the trail system is now almost nine hundred miles long.
If you are heading to Bull Gap, Kalkaska,or Lincoln Hills, shoot me an Email, if I am not busy I will join you.
