About Me

Our club was formed over a snowy winter while working third shift. With no supervision and a serious lack of motivation, it only made sense. Sean was a mountain biker a few years ago, but with the new additions and working far away...he couldnt find time to ride. When he started working back in Michigan the itch to ride came back. Chris had never been off-road until this year. Once Sean got him out there...he was hooked. Sean convinced Chris to race the Ore 2 Shore in 2007. Both only missed their main goals by small margins.

Look for more to come in 2008. RIDE ON!!!
