Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe as time goes by you will regain some of your desire to ride again. Bike tech and overall design has come further since 2013 to now than maybe it has since the inception of MTB to 2013! If you get back into it, try out something newer, like 2019+ and see...

Looks like the perfect time of year to explore that area.

Sounds like fun! How technical/difficult was it? How many days/nights?

Only managed ~2000 miles of singetrack this year so far and its not looking good for breaking the 2500mile goal I had set. But, winter is arriving and soon it will be snow rides and ice beards!

Good to hear. I'd enjoy coming down for a trip. I won't be able to until after the new year at the least, probably more like March. Work stuff. I still want to get down to the Red River Gorge area, too. If you are planning anything for next spring or later and have room for another vehicle...

Heading to Kalkaska area this weekend for the annual Iceman bike race to support a couple friends and make a weekend of exploring out of it. Figured I would drop a line and see if anyone was going to be around or had the freedom to make a last minute plan. I have a bunch of potential sites...

John, How's the life and how's the truck? You enjoying those 285's? I'm heading up to Kalkaska area tomorrow and came on here to see if anything was going on around there, figured I would drop you a line while I am here.

I don't have any advice about mounting the antenna inside or not but I am interested in the problems and "mistakes" you made with the Midland and Rugged Radios units and why/how the Wouxun helped? Thanks!

Do some research on fitting 35" tires on that vehicle. It may require significant modifications to the suspension, wheel well, body mounts, etc. It will definitely hurt mpg and driveability.

Another thing to consider, that many overlook and then regret or just dislike the tire without understanding why it wasn't the right choice, is what you need from a tire. If you plan to do high-speed desert running on a light weight midsize truck you will want a much different tire than someone...

What vehicle? How much bigger tire? The odo/speedo will be off, in many vehicles that can be adjusted by editing the ECU/ECM/TCM calibration and some vehicles may have aftermarket modules available that can be plugged in to compensate and correct the speed/odo but it's worth understanding how...

Where are you moving from? It doesn't take too much to get into some descent forest if you head north from Lansing. Lots of places to explore and enjoy in the Huron-Manistee.

How's everyone enjoying the winter? I just had one of those great winter rides where I didn't want to stop. Studs on the ice don't hurt the fun, either! Happy 2021

Welcome! I have spent some time in the Manistee Forest over your way and had a bunch of fun the the state forest areas west of Midland. We have plans to get up to the NW part of the state to explore starting this spring. Is your FB group a statewide group? Does it organize and plan group...

I play bikes 2+days a week. Who's getting ready for some winter/snow riding?

Sorry it took so long. As far as finding dedicated ORV routes and trails, there are some apps and some websites that publish this info in a user friendly way, though all of it is free public info. I use GAIA and onX offroad, the latter is a subscription based service with both mobile device...

Welcome! Metro Detroiter here. Can I assume you are looking for jeep/4x4 trails and not ATV/ SxS tails? For most of the public access trails in state and natl forest lands you have to get north if M20/Muskegon latitude. There may be others closer to Marshall. I can post some useful links...

I've trimmed my fleet down to 3 and this is my only MTB currently. It's so good that I really don't mind having sold the FS bike. A few more pics at the link below. 2018 Salsa Timberjack Ti Build Currently it has a Shimano XT 12spd drivetrain and some Vittoria Aggaro 29x2.6 tires on it...

Another Waterford OB member here. More members in the SE area than I would have guessed. Wife and I are hoping to head up to Drummond Island late summer/early fall as long as this covid stuff doesn't get out of hand again, but before that I would like to do some shakedown camping with my...

Not much without heading north it seems. In Waterford, myself, if anyone is around and wanting to chat or whatever. Just getting into this stuff and building my vehicle is a work in progress. Hoping to head to the UP or Northern LP/Islands late summer/fall.
