Copper Harbor Mountain Bike Trails
Any of you been there? I was there 2 years ago but didn’t have a good day to ride them. We are going back and this time will be camping at Copper Harbor with a full week to ride and see sights with my wife.
There are awesome trails ranging from casual to technical to wild. I’m a 62yr old roadie that enjoys the MTB thrills with a ‘97 Trek 7000 full rigid. I love single tracks, bridges and boardwalks but draw the line at the big jumps. Looking forward to riding “On The Edge” as seen on youtube.

Please do report back with where you camped and suggestions on trails to ride. I've been wanting to get up that way for a while..haven't made it yet.

Just rode a good route this morning. Started with “The Edge”, Woopidy Woo, Garden Brook and finished with Bullwinkle. The Edge is a thrill ride. Lots more to do in the next several days.
The ‘97 Trek 7000 full rigid, aluminum frame bike is not for everybody but I love the snappy handling. The bike did remarkably well on the day.

Thanx! If you are in the Upper, this is a trail destination with Sugar Loaf in Marquette running a close second. Copper Harbor is among the top 5 in the world (so they say). Green trails, Blue trails, Double Black Diamond, trails that will challenge and thrill. I want to go back.
