Endomans home page says, ...our goal is to develop and promote a
few great races here in the beautiful northwest lower peninsula of
Michigan. Well, were finally making good on that promise with a
new offering to the race schedule for 2012, the Arcadian Grit &
Gravel Mountain Bike Race, coming May 19th. The AG&G race
spans territory covering two counties and is like no other in the
state: a unique blend of wicked-tough gravel roads in northern
Manistee County, some hidden-gem two-tracks and finally, the
world-class single track of the Arcadia Dunes C.S. Mott
Nature Preserve trail system in southern Benzie County. The Arcadia
Dunes trail system is part of a 3000 acre preserve owned and under
the stewardship of the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy
and to that organization, we are very grateful. Because, without their
generous support this event wouldnt be happening.
Course Information:
This may well be the longest 30-mile
race youll ever gear up for. Even with miles of gravel roads, back-
woods 2-tracks, and even some pavement, finishing this monster loop
in less than 2 hours is going to be a challenge. Race Central and the
starting line will be at the Pleasant Valley Community Center in
Arcadia, which is a block east of M22 on Glovers Lake Rd. After
a 2 mile paved roll out, the fun begins. Gravel roads with plenty of
elevation gain, some secret two-tracks and the big finish on the Arcadia
Dunes trail will round out the 30 miles. Make no mistake: this will be
a race with ideas of its own on how fast you make it around. Itll be
tough and gritty with a seriously big fun factor.
