MRB Memorial Six Days of Michigan

The 2010 Michael R. Burlingham Memorial Six Days of Michigan was an excellent riding experience for everyone! More than 100 riders from across the U.S., Canada and as far away as England shared great trail and dual sport riding for six straight days in the Upper Peninsula. Great weather, with some well timed rain made trail conditions near perfect. Don't miss next year's Six Days experience - watch for ads in the Great Lakes TrailRider Magazine and be sure to register early!

News & Announcements

08-10-10 - The Denton ORV Route between the Denton Trail System and the St. Helen Trail System is open again. The bridge on the route was replaced and all work was completed a few days ago.

08-02-10 - a portion of the Bergland to Sidnaw ORV Route
in Ontonagon County will be temporarily closed beginning Monday, Aug. 2. This closure is to allow for repair and reconstruction of a bridge spanning the Baltimore River near Bruce Crossing. The bridge is expected to be closed until late October. During that time, the ORV route to the east and west of the Baltimore River will remain open for use, with a temporary marked reroute available. The 13-mile ORV reroute eliminates the need to cross the river and rejoins the Bergland to Sidnaw route just east of Bruce Crossing. The Bergland to Sidnaw ORV Route is part of the rail-trail system, which allows for multiple uses including biking, hiking and motorized use. Nonmotorized rail-trail users will be able to cross the Baltimore River during the bridge construction using the state highway bridge adjacent to the trail rather than following the ORV reroute. The DNRE reminds ORV riders that the state highway bridge is not available to ORV traffic, as it is illegal and dangerous to operate ORVs on state highways, including the shoulders or unmaintained right-of-way.

07-06-10 -The bridge has been replaced on the far south end of the Kalkaska trail, about 12 miles south of the M-72 trailhead, and the two bridges that had parts of the Little Manistee trail closed are finished and that trail is now all open again. Lastly, while all of the trees have been cleared on the Evart trail after the tornado last year, the DNRE is keeping the first three miles on the east side of the loop closed until the saplings have a chance to get rooted after the clear cut.

05-05-10 - The middle section of the East end of the Brevort Trail in the Upper Peninsula remains a mess after extensive logging in the area wiped out a good portion of the established trail. If you're riding Brevort, watch closely for temporary reroutes.
