This past Sunday was the Triple Trail Challenge<\/a>, a rather nifty fundraising group ride out at Pinckney State Recreation Area<\/a> which spans parts of the normal mountain bike trails and also some trails which are only open to bikes for that day. I headed out with Jeremy<\/a> and Sol<\/a> and had a really great time. The route was rather nice and I’d love to do this ride again. The Lakelands Trail<\/a> was a bit rough, and some of the dirt roads were a bit slimy due to recent grading and spraying, but it all added up to an outstanding 38.5 mile ride.<\/p>\n

While the ride itself is free, it’s used as a fundraiser by the Potawatomi Mountain Bike Association<\/a> by selling t-shirts, beer glasses, and trying to sign up members. This seemed to be really successful, as I heard there were 600+ people out for the ride, they acquired over 100 new members that day, sold out of t-shirts, and were running short on pint glasses. After the ride there were ample supplies of complimentary chili (vegetarian, I believe) and Arbor Brewing Company<\/a> beer for all those who participated.<\/p>\n

I was one of those who bought one of the glasses (t-shirts were sold out when I tried to get one), and it can be seen above filled with some of New Belgium’s Fat Tire Ale. I’m not a huge fan of this beer, but it is a pretty solid, reliable beverage. Since it’s now available in Michigan I’ll probably pick up a few more bottles of their stuff, and it’s nice to know that these glasses nicely hold an entire 22oz bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
