Metamora,Michigan Trials

  Yesterday I had a great time riding at The Great Lakes Trials Club event out in Metamora,Michigan.
   They had 10 sections which we rode 4 times and the loop was 2 miles of sweet trails through the woods.
    A couple of the technical rocky sections with tight turns gave me some trouble and I missed a marker one time that cost me 5 points that I normally dont do.
   They had 2 sections with cool rocky creek crossings.
   Overall I rode well and placed  third in the Novice class.

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK,MAINE

   After leaving Bar Harbor we went to Acadia to find a campsite so we could spend a couple of days exploring the area.
   We stayed at the Seawall Campground.

                                         We rode the forest roads in the area.

                                 Then we stretched our legs and hiked a trail.

              
 Kennys feet were hurting from the Sidi Adventure rain boots.

 

                        Scotts feet were doing fine in the GTX Infinity boots.

                              We stopped in Bethal, Maine for Breakfast.

Then we took a few shortcuts down some back roads and ended up on this rocky ORV route.
