Welcome to the Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan! The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan is an organization committed to the conservation of our wild lands while promoting the sport of off-road motorcycling. During the riding season, organized “trail tours” are held at various locations throughout the trail system in the northern part of the state. In addition, the Cycle Conservation Club sponsors the “Ultimate Trail Ride” – the Michael R. Burlingham Memorial Six Days of Michigan. Six full days of off-road riding – there’s nothing else like it anywhere in the world! Your membership in the Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan includes a one year subscription to the Great Lakes TrailRider magazine, a detailed map book of the Michigan trail system, access to all CCC events and activities plus access to the members section of this website. To join, simply follow the link above, or contact the CCC office at 517-781-4805. Board of Governors Election The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan announced the results of its election of Governors during the annual meeting of the general membership on Saturday May 3 at the Rites of Spring in Atlanta. Returning for another three year term on the BOG are incumbents Aaron Small and Jeff Beyar. Joining them is newly elected Governor Jeff Horn. At the meeting, a letter of resignation was read from BOG member Ron Mollitor, who experienced a career relocation to Tennessee last year. Filling the remainder of Ron's term on the Board is fourth place finisher Chuck Heyza. Congratulations to all! May 7, 2008 - Notice of Temporary Trail Closure A portion of the Bill Nicholl’s Trail in Ontonagon County just north of the Firesteel trestles has been closed due to run-off erosion along the grade. The washout on the multi-use trail occurred sometime last weekend, according to the Department of Natural Resources. Heavy rain late Friday night and early Saturday morning likely caused the erosion damage to the trail. The washout was reported to the DNR on Sunday, May 4, and the area was barricaded immediately. The temporary closure will continue until repairs can be made to restore the grade. The closure extends from the M-38 trail crossing on the south end to the Henwood Mine area on the north end. The public is urged to stay away from this area, as the banks of the grade continue to slough off and cave in to the adjacent drainage. For more information, contact the DNR Baraga Service Operations Center at Rental Bikes Available for the Six Days of Michigan If you’d like to ride this year’s Michael R. Burlingham Memorial Six Days of Michigan and need a bike, Brian Shaney of Great Wide Open Tours may have the answer. Located in Plymouth, Michigan, Brian began offering motorcycle tours of Michigan and the surrounding region back in 2005. In late 2007, he began to include Suzuki 650 V-Stroms as part of the tour package as well, making them available for rent. For this year’s Six Days, Brian will have at least two V-Strom 650s available, which would be suitable for some dual-sport duty, or enable more focused trail riders to get out and experience the SDM road ride...all or in part. For details on the rental, contact Brian at 734-474-6454 and visit his website at www.greatwideopentours.com This website and all content herein © copyright 2008 by the Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan, Inc.
