Mountain Biking with Andrew

There's some excellent mountain biking to be had in the hills south and west of Munising. One loop I enjoy is to climb the steep hill going west that is St. Martin's Hill Road, catch the snowmobile trails, and follow them south, then east, and then north to come out near the Citgo gas-station on the east end of Varnum Street. It's a great ride, with some fun downhills.

Going down!

Andrew Sears starting down the first big downhill. The trail is sandy here, and sometimes washed out. Things get "interesting" after that first curve.

Raspberries!

It's not all hilly.

Just riding along

Come August, this area is loaded with raspberries. And I mean the kind that you eat!

Hitting the sand

It's amazing how fast a bit of sand will bring you to a grinding halt.

Coasting!

Here you have Andrew coming out of a long, downhill run.

Mud!

Here's Andrew muscling through some mud.

More mud!

A typical mudhole on the southern portion of the loop.

Mud is so hard

Andrew's walking around this one.

Porky!

Andrew and I lucked on to this Porcupine, but he didn't want to visit with us. He ran up a tree instead.
