This is a old flier that I had saved to give everyone the theme of it. Any body done this in the past or are planning it in 2009. It is allot of fun. There is usually some snow left, but with this years snowfall there might be allot left. I checked with Peacock Ltd for a 09 date but it has not been set yet, but should be set here soon.
Oops sorry about that I didn't realize the old flier didn't have a location on it. It's based at Peacock Ltd,(www.peacockltd.com) which is a cycle dealer north of Baldwin on 37. They ride the Little Manistee Trail/ Lincoln Hills Trail system. There is a connector from their dealership to the trail system. You sign up at the dealership, ride, then return to the dealership for prize drawings and snacks after the ride.
i did this a few years back on a 88 250r honda it was a awsome time i recomend you try it its usualy muddy in spots and deep snow in the woods it is in febuary usualy
I rode it a couple of years ago. My brother and I on bikes, my dad and a couple of cousins on quads. It was great. I want to try and make it this year.
This was the first time I had rode on studded tires. I just used the hex headed ice screws on some 1/2 worn mx tires. It shocked me how well the bike gripped. I did hit the ground once that year, had er leaded over to far on a corner and lost bite ans slid out. But it was a softer landing than on the dirt. It would be great to have someone to ride it with. My brother sold his bike last fall so I now have no one to ride with. I mentioned it to my cousins but not sure if they will make it.
michelin s12?
been on this with bikes and quads. most of the locals around hear use to ride bikes but now it is mostly quads.grew up riding with ken dourty and his dad.he will always be missed.
Never done this ride but used to do the Snowflake with the old sales guy from extreme then fox. That ride was first Sunday in December and we rode in a lot of snow some years.
Is this all two tracks or can you get through the single tracks too? If the single tracks are a possibility I will go if anyone wants someone to ride with, even better if i can find someone to share a ride with/split gas with.
(I got a truck and a sled trailer available)

Hey gang due to recent changes in my work status I am not going to be able to make it this year. I was really looking forward to it. Have not been on my bike other than around the yard for more than a year now. Everyone be safe and have a great time.
just pulled this from noaa weather site for the Baldwin area :thumb: >>>>> Saturday: A chance of rain and snow before 11am. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 47. South southwest wind between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
I spent the weekend in bed with what im assuming was bronchitis.
Who can rub in my face what I missed?
