Well we have all been begging for summer and it has hit us with a Texas force! It has been in the 80's and 90's. Not much rain so the trails are VERY DUSTY!!!!
Well the CCC/Bentwheels Bike run last weekend was excellent. It seems like everyone had a wonderful time and no serious injuries were reported. No one got lost either so there was no need for our Search & Rescue teams. I had a blast standing at the corner of M-33 and Heath Rd. It was so much fun seeing all the riders on Sunday. I want to THANK ALL of the riders who thanked us for being there. It was a very nice gesture. I have pictures to follow!
I have to tell you about a story that one of our ORV Patrol Officers was told the other day. We have alot of people who ride horses on the trails that are also now occupied by ORV/ATV riders. He was a little worried when the new ordinance took affect because of the noise vs his horses. He told our patroler that he was amazed at the generous effort ALL riders that he has come across took to not spook his horses. He says that EVERY rider that he has come across and he stated it was 100 or more has ALWAYS turned off their BIKE/ATV/ORV until he was well away from them so not to spook his horses. He was so amazed and excited that you all do that for horse riders. I also want to tell you all how PROUD I am of all of you that has shown compassion and generosity to outdoor enthusiast no matter what they may be riding. It's wonderful to know that you all act like one big family and it takes a BIG person to do that now days. So thanks a bunch from all of us and keep up the good work.
Just a note to all people who wish to ride up into Oscoda County while riding the trails in Ogemaw County. We ask that you please get a map for that area. There are ALOT of places you can't ride no matter what people are telling you. The DNR and State Forest Officers have NO TOLERANCE for us! They are handing out tickets left and right and are not giving you any warnings whats so ever. You are not allowed to ride on roads in the state forest unless it is posted that you can ride on it. If it's not posted, its not legal.
Well anywhooooo, with summer officially here, remember the bug spray and your water and have a WONDERFUL time here in Ogemaw County.
Tread Lightly and See you on the Trails!!!!
