@Richard,
That
Potawatomi MTB trail in Pinkney, Michigan looks pretty gnarly. I am glad that tried out your Gus on that trail as an introduction to mountain biking. I'm looking forward to your upcoming upgrades to your Gus and ride reports, as well.
I went out on a fairly long bike ride today. It was mostly pavement on a bike/pedestrian trail near my home. Towards the end, I decided to venture off road along a very long stretch of newly pulled RR rails with RR ties left from the excavation to see how far down the hired company pulled the ties. I decided to go all the way to the RR bridge that goes over the Nisqually River perhaps another time. The future plan is in the making of extending the bicycle/pedestrian trail over the river into a town called Roy. This is apart of a greater plan to connect to other trails in the next county.
The next phase will be for the city to hire a company to clean up the RR ties.
I had fun going off road with my Clem. It is more adventurous and handles very well.
Kim Hetzel.

This pic is from the Potawatomi MTB trail in Pinkney, Michigan - The “Poto” for short. This is the quintessential SE Michigan trail, and a place that has shaped my life as a cyclist. I don’t recommend it but this place was my introduction to mountain biking. Some of the very best times I’ve had on a bike happened here. This particular ride was my first time giving it a go on the Gus. It was pretty great but is also the reason I am currently working on cockpit changes & installing a rapid rise rear derailleur.:)
It’s a destination type trail & every trip there is like visiting an old friend.

One of my (and probably many of you) main motivations for riding my bikes is to get to a special place. This may be a place of natural beauty, a quiet place to get away from the hustle of daily life or a place that has special meaning to us. Post a picture of a special place your bike has taken you, and why this place is special.
This is my Appaloosa at the mouth of the Huron River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Huron Islands are visible in Lake Superior. This place is remote feeling and beautiful, and I was there recently many years after my first visit.
