BERC 2009 Weekend Trip Recap

This years trip was fun and challenging. We learned to appreciate our broadband internet connections for sure as we tried to load the Iceman GPS over dial-up. We got in a night ride this year as well. Thanks to Andy for the use of a very cool farm house and thanks to all for the Beef Jerky, it was pretty good. This year we had 6 riders, this is a 50% increase over the 2008 trip and we hope more join us next year. We hope to figure out a way to head west next year. Joining us of the 2009 trip were: Andy E, Steve D, Pablo, John G, Paul, and Dave.

There were a few cuts and bruises and one broken chain but no major medical or mechanical issues.

John, Paul and I started out the weekend hitting Addison Oaks before we left town. Then we hit the Cadillac Pathway for a night ride. Saturday we did the Vasa Trail and Acadia Dunes Trail. Sunday was Big M and a dip in the Manistee River then on home.
