The Backwoods Trail Tour
Motorcycle-Only Singletrack Trail
If you're into singletrack, you don't want to miss this ride! The Backwoods Trail Tour will include some of Michigan's finest Motorcycle-Only Trail in the beautiful Upper Peninsula!
EVENT INFO:
Expect 50+ miles with cutoff options along the Newberry-Rexton Trail and Brevort-Trout Lake Trail. There are some road sections that connect the staging area and trails, so headlights and taillights are required.
The trails will be marked beginning on Friday, so come early! After a full day of riding on Saturday, you can show off your balancing skills in the Slow Race. Bring your canoe or kayak!
