Hey Web, nice to meet you. I'm actually a troll, but only an hour south of the bridge so most of my riding is in the Gaylord/Petoseky/Traverse City Area. Going to the UP in a few weeks though, so hoping to do some single tracks or road biking around Houghton. Graduated from MTU in the 90's, but still try to get back up there every 3 or 4 years.
Where abouts in the UP did you grow up?
