Continued my hill training this morning with an eight miler including the challenging "Ridge Run" up the back side of Avalanche Preserve and now recovering watching opening day from Comerica Park. Tigers look poised for victory but wait...now Boston just tied it up at the top of the ninth!
Avalanche is another great Boyne City resource.

Wondering about creating the Boyne Trail Challenge, a run linking the trails on Avalanche Preserve, Young State Park and The Hill Preserve.  Perhaps include the swamp section and beach in Young and the broken bridge crossing of the Boyne River to spice things up.  Start and finish in downtown. Maybe 20 miles, not marathon distance. The hills and rough going would be challenge enough.
