Update & Events


Time to get your last rides in!

The best riding season of the year is here.  Take it all in on our annual Color Tour, this weekend October 12-14.   We will be based out of Lewiston once again.  The brave souls camping at the Shady Acres Campground will be in charge of the evening bonfires and the riders at the Redwood Motor Inn will need to bring the coffee and donuts in the morning.  

There are road routes in the area as well as ADV rides on the ORV trails in the surrounding areas.  Most will ride up Friday and ride back Sunday, but please join us for some crisp fall weather whatever your schedule.

Please join us on Tuesday, October 9th at 6:30 at the River's Edge Brewery in Milford for a TCD Nite.  We'll be coming up with the game plan for this weekend's rides.

September was a busy month for us.  We started out at the Wailin’ Wayne Weekend  in New Straitsville, OH in the Wayne National Forest Sept 6-9.   We had 7 or 8 TCD'ers in attendance and had a lot of fun hitting the trails and riding with new folks.

This F-150 couldn't successfully navigate the trail...


We had a great weekend of riding overall.  The trails were excellent and fun.  We found some very interesting areas we'll need to explore again.  Plan on it for next year!

Our annual ride to Port Crescent State Park was held on Sept 8-9.  


Great weather, and lot's of people named Dave descended on the campground for the weekend.  

See the RIDE REPORT on the TCD website.

All Clubs Day in Stockbridge on Sept 16th was the biggest any of us can remember.  This is a fantastic event, lot of bikes of every type and excellent conversations happening around almost every one of them.  The TCD booth was once again graciously put together by Dave Hayt (Thanks, Dave!).


The TCD cued up in Pinckney for the ride to Stockbridge.  We think there were almost 50, too many to count!


Awesome bikes are everywhere to be seen at All Clubs Day.

Mounds ORV Park in Mount Morris was a meeting place for some more impromptu fun on Sept 15th.  We've had lot's of these weekend excursions this summer at the Mounds, St. Helen, and Gladwin.  Great practice for the trails in Lewiston!


What happens when you pull up behind someone stuck in the mud?  This.

Unfortunately, about 3/4 mile into the ride on the first day at Wailin Wayne JP found out what happens when you hit a tree stump with a jug of your boxer engine.  Good thing he brought his trailer...
Wailin Wayne trailside tire repair.
Ice cream stops seem to have become a tradition on the Thumb Run.
The GS's are always tired after a long dirt ride to All Clubs Day.
