Copper/Marquette August 30-Sept 7 '18

[AG]

We haven't done this trip in a couple years so here we go. Planning leaving August 30 early in the morning, driving up to Houghton to ride Tech trails. We rode there for the first time last year and it was amazing. We will stay in that area for the night before either going on to Copper or possible ride Houghton again before heading to Copper. I can reserve a hotel room for you just speak up. We already have rooms reserved in Copper at the Bella Vista and King Copper from the 31-3rd. From there we will travel to Marquette. I will have rooms set aside from the 3-7. There is camping available in Marquette and Copper if you would like to take that route. I will say the facility's are top notch at both locations. The trails on this trip a simply amazing. Miles of the best in the country. The Trails Fest at Copper will not disappoint, being in such a remote area with that many like-minded people is an experience not to be missed. If anyone is interested and needs a room and any or all nights let me know. If you need a ride or want to car pool, post up. There is no real plan other than what I have posted. You are on your own as far as food drinks and a daily itinerary. Check out the Fest web link below to see whats going on and any events you might want to partake in or watch. There are many breweries along the way that I'm sure I'll be stopping at.

So far this is who I have going:

Bella Vista
Room 1 Mandy Megan
Room 4 Papa Clutch (maybe Clutch)
Room 7 Browns
Room 8 Ryan Cannady
Room 9 Joe Kelly
Room 14 Kings & Ann
Room 15 Jake & Carrie
Room 16 Squirrel & Vonda
Room 26 AG & Shannon
King Copper :

Is the King Copper where I stayed last time? I liked that spot. Also will we be throwing a post-fest Dock Party again where we host the band? Finally, will I break my face two times in a row in the exact same spot in Marquette again this year?

Only time will tell...

Were getting to be about a month out right from this trip. I've been keeping track of who is going, when and what parts of the trip. I know a few of you are still working out details but this is what I have so far. If your not on the list or on the list and shouldn't be speak up. Mandy and I will start to drop rooms shortly if not spoken for. If you need pricing for any leg, let me know and we can provide that info.

Is there any rooms left for that weekend?

We can fit you in. No problem.

We are about a week and a half out for this trip. Let’s get together this Thursday the 23rd @ 6:30 Front Street Brewery Freight House and discuss the shenanigans that will be. If your still looking to get in on this trip just show up. If you are going and would like to see if you can carpool with someone this would be a good time to try and figure that out. There are several people going and leaving at different times, good chance we could hook you up. I've been doing this trip now for 10 years, feel free to ask me anything, food, weather, trails, entrainment...

Hope to see every one there, if nothing more but to have a few beers.
