The Green Loop - Heartwood Forestland




We headed out Saturday morning and rode up the Bridges Trail, then up Division Street to the main South Trails trailhead where we began up "The Green Loop". Up, up, up, then down the sweepy, fast Pioneer Loop. Bill rode the Big Mama, I rode my rigid Rig 1x9. I was tired at the end with a sore lower back.

Bill re-rode the loops the following day and commended me for sticking with it on the rigid bike the day before. There are still trails that he has not ridden in Marquette in 6 years of mountain biking.
Heartwood Forestland area that is home to many of the South Marquette is in jeopardy. Read more here: http://www.mqtcty.org/heartwood.html and map here: http://www.mqtcty.org/city_website/WebsiteGeneral/PDF/Current_Projects/Heartwood/overview_map.pdf
