Mountain biking (Single track) 2:30:00 [4] 22.0 km (8.8 kph)
Bit of a guess on distance
South Trails - Noquemanon- Marquette, MI
Rental mountain bike....
Totally awesome trail network. I did the kid's trail first, trying to keep ahead of a herd of 8-10 year olds. I probably barely succeeded. Later in the parking lot, when I was looking at the map, I noticed that at least one of them was riding in Crocs.
I then set out on something like the Porky Pass....up, up, up....and walked over a couple (to me) knarly rocky sections that had serious drop offs to the right. Then on the red-signed Pioneer trail to the look out (much walking on the rocky look out trail). Then fun, fun, fun on the green-signed Carp Di Um (?) trail, but the relatively sheer drop offs along side the trail were a bit more than I expected. These were 2 way trails....what if I met someone on one of the many blind corners? I started singing out "Hello" as I approached corners. I had to stop to check out the views as there was no way I was taking my eyes off the narrow trail!
Then I started on the Marquette Mtn trail but it was way too rocky for me so I rode up the steep gravel road to the lookout, then back down via the kid's trail again. A short jaunt on the rolling Moss trail capped off the day.
