This time, I did pretty much exactly that. I used to ride that system weekly though, but it’s very different than it used to be.

Mt Edward DJ jam was postponed last night, so my son and I went to the Fall River skatepark to work on hip jumps. Starting to progress a bit, nice to get above the coping at all for a 50 year old dude.

Another screen grab from yesterday. Love finding gaps that were not meant to be gaps. Keeps things fresh.

Time trails! Nice natural feature.

I don’t ride Mac Run without hitting the Time trails. Those are some damn fun trails. And that’s one of my favourite sections - it looks insane but not too bad as long as you don’t stop pedalling or loose your balance.

I seem to remember a fair number of these boulders were placed or at least wiggled about. 
And you would know. 
I do really like this piece of trail.

Spent some time on the south shore of Lake Superior in August, camping offgrid and a bit of riding.
South Marquette, Zeugs.
Top of Copper Harbour. I imagine the Edmund Fitzgerald sank somewhere out there, but in different weather…
And one of several cool bridges by RockSolid (based out of Copper Harbour). There is plenty of on site cedar, some trees quite big, which appear to be ripped in two to build arched joists. Cool.
Really great area. Trails and building as good as anywhere.

Nice rock work in the first image, is that a switchback?
Here is that piece of trail from below (side view).
Appears to be a natural bench in the bedrock here, which was used to route the trail across a steep bedrock cliff. But the natural bench has gaps and big holes so they plated it with placed rock slabs.
There is a banked turn just below it, mostly built on placed boulders.
Here’s another piece of Zeugs. Bench on the left built with boulders, some pried off cliff above. After descending the bench you do a right turn and can hit the jump on the right.
I think most of this was mini-ex with lots of hand work too, but I’m not sure.
It had been raining before i rode Zeugs and the rock was treacherously slimey. Not like granite!

What I have found in my travels, is that we are blessed with grippy granite when its wet. Most places are not like that with the exception of Quebec.

Cruised through hours and hours in areas where the fires/floods reaked havoc in Shelburne last weekend.
The devastation was unreal, and made for a memorable ride.
