My Favorite Local Ride currently has to be riding through Bloomer Park, over to Yates Cider Mill (which is now open for Ice Cream!), then loop back through Bloomer Park all the way into downtown Rochester.

Nate and I plotted this route with use of a Garmin GPS eTrex Legend GPS mounted to the handle bars. Through the magical wizardry of the internet (www.MapMyRide.com) I am able to post the entire route here for you to view and download then ride yourself.

If you have a GPS for your bike and want to ride this route just download the file from MapMyRide.com and upload it into your GPS and follow away…see if you can keep up!

Hidden Section of Trail

The only way to find this section of trail is to follow a GPS…it is hidden!

Under current state law, the DNR cannot sell park passes (a.k.a. motor vehicle permits) starting January 1st, 2007. This provides a significant portion (over $13 million) of the DNR Parks budget and they cannot keep all the parks open without this funding. The MMBA is working with Senator Michelle McManus to get a bill passed this year that would extend the 2007 deadline to 2010.

Senator McManus’s SB 924 passed out of committee yesterday and is heading to the Senate floor. Today we’ll send an MMBA letter of support and a “please rush” message to the Senate leadership. Feel free to contact your own Senator and do the same.

This bill also allows the DNR Director and Parks Chief to waive entry fee requirements for some events. This could be done for stewardship events (e.g. MMBA trail days) where the benefit to the park outweighs the lost revenue.

Welcome to the latest version of pailheadweb.com! I have been playing with this site for way to many years and it’s had many different looks and purposes. The main purpose has always been a place for me to play with building websites and learning new things but has never really been anything serious. And now with the explosion of Blogs, I figure hey why not. So now pailheadweb is technically pailheadwebLOG…whutever, anyhow while I figure out what the layout should be and what neat things I can add to it there won’t be much blogging going on, but hopefully now that I have started to mountain bike seriously again, I plan to post many of my exploits to different trails in Michigan and beyond!!!
