I stop and take photos when I need a rest (I'm not in as good bike shape as you are, by far!) because it keeps people who ride by from asking if I'm ok
Beautiful shots though, I need to come ride in Michigan!

Just a couple of photos

. . . of where I like to mountain bike by my house. I really should get more as the trail goes by 4 different lakes and there are a couple of bridge crossings. So much to see! I just hate stopping to take photos all the time tho.

You should! I'm not in nearly the shape that LW is, so you could ride with me!

Pretty, Limewave. Because I'm a relatively new mtber and haven't ridden outside my general area (minus the White Rim in Utah), I'm always curious as to what trails in other parts of the country are like. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to play host to some TEers for some MI mountain biking!

Beautiful. I should take some of the trails, we are blessed with an interesting variety in Texas. Michigan looks really beautiful, I honestly didn't picture it that way!

Here's another shot of MI mountain biking. This is about an hour from LW's photos (at Luton Park).

It's very different from our local park.
Not much single track or relatively flat trails nearby. These photos were taken in winter. It's hot as Hades there in summer and very little shade.

Great pics. I had no idea what MI MTB terrain was like. Looks lovely.

It reminds me a lot of the mountain biking we did in Maine.
