Southern Keweenaw Bike Fest – Sept. 21-22
The Southern Keweenaw (SoKe) Trails Group is organizing a free Fall Bike Fest on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 21-22, 2012, to celebrate the last day of summer and the first day of fall. Friday will feature a night-time mountain bike ride, including a stretch in the Adventure Mine. Saturday will be a road ride (or, if you like, the Adventure downhill and cross country trails are open). Read on for the tentative schedule of events.
Friday September 21
7 pm- Night Mt Bike ride, Mine will be open for riding! This is the only day we will allow riders underground other than the Miners Revenge. Bring a light!
9 pm- Bonfire! Bring your hot dogs and S’mores as we reminisce about the Summer of 2012.
Saturday Sept 22
10 am- Road rode on some beautiful Southern Keweenaw roads. Distances will vary from 30 miles to around 75 miles. The longest route will take riders all the way to Porcupine Mountains and Lake of the Clouds. This is a non supported ride so there are no aid stations and you will need to navigate the roads with a map. We will provide maps for the routes. You will have several places you can stop for food and drinks along the way so bring some cash or carry your own provisions.
All Day- the Adventure DH and XC trails are open everyday and will be open for riding. XC riders may want to take a trip down to the Porcupine Mountains to ride their trails.
Volunteers are needed, if you are willing (SoKeTrails@gmail.com or rrpeters@mtu.edu). Road leaders are needed. Sponsors are welcome!
