U.P. or bust!
Heading up to the U.P. for the Miner’s Revenge race this weekend. This is just one stop along our Griswold family tour across the great North. Here we come Munising, Marquette, Houghton, Copper Harbor, Soo Saint Marie and then back. It should be fun and I will try to post a pic or two from the road, if possible.
Matt Portfleet, from Adventure Mining Co. is hooking me up with a sweet new headlamp for navigating in the copper mine cave. Thanks Matt.
Happy trails all!

Race registration is now up and I can say that it works properly, because I just committed myself to the 20 miler. Time to get myself a headlamp and begin some night ride training.
This is the race description as posted on Active.com: Steep climbs, rolling singletrack, fun descents, and riding with bats. The race takes place at the Adventure Mine in Greenland, MI. Part of the 5 mile lap is through the mine. Lights will be required. Because of the total darkness a GOOD headlamp will suffice. Free on-site camping Saturday night with campfires and fun. The mine is 48 degrees! Two race distances; approx 10 and 20 miles. E-mail caleb@goridebikes or call The Bike Shop in Houghton at 906-487-9500 with questions.
