This is the trail system that begins 2 blocks east of the bike shop. The city just completed the access to it. It is awesome. Mountain biking is back!
Mike Aderhold and Mario still doing some trail maintenance: 
Then we ate cake:

Put sugar sand under the leaves, swap the oak trees for pines and you’ve got South Jersey.
I like your screensaver
.
i bet it’s warmer where you are though. It was 39 degrees when we left this morning.
Two days ago Aderhold saw a huge buck down there- two blocks from the downtown area.
I see you’ve cleaned desk and hung some bling above it since I was last there Tom !
That’s Aderhold’s office.
Great pics Tom. Thanks for sharing.
Long Live Hardtails!
Ah that explains that one then !!! I hope things over there are treating you well. We’re gearing up for a cold winter down here.
Where are the mountains at your mountain biking trail? Don’t the flats get boring after a while?
Hmmm. No mountains here. We have a couple steep little hills about 10 pedal strokes.
Yup, the darn flats do get rather boring.
cake in the morning rules!!!

What’s that on his computer screen?
This being the 230th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps that is our celebratory USMC Birthday cake.
I can’t recall her name- Playmate of the Month from some month. She’s a little doll though. Great photo too.
Mountain biking is back!
Where did it go?
Come out to CO and bring your bike so you don’t have to ride flat:)
We would go months without selling a single MTB. At one point we actually had none in our store. It was just gone. Gas prices, a (minimum) 1 hour trip tot he trails, freeways all torn up… It was no longer practical. A 1 hour MTB ride took 3 hours with to-and-from drive time.
Now we are on the trail in under 4 minutes for over 2 hours. This says nothing for the potential of trail running also, which is huge.
This is a major boost for us here in Dearborn. I’ve sold more MTB’s in the past three weeks than in the previous 3 months.

If you built it, they will come 
Yes, apparently. It’s amazing.
I’m in Cleveland. Was camping at Pontiac Lake ( about 40 minutes from Detroit) this summer mountain biking. We hit 3 different trail systems in 3 days. WAY more trails in Michigan than Ohio. The guys I was with made 3 trips there this year. The Michigan mountain biking association web site is loaded with info.
I dropped my kid off in Garden City this past Sunday, if you’d of been open I’d of stopped in, and went to Casino Windsor for the day. You sure are right about the roads around there. All seem to be under construction or actually closed for construction.
