Copper Harbor Bike Trails*

In Copper Harbor today.  Walked Estivant Falls, Horseshoe Bay, did a Sauna through Takka Saunas.  The town is milling with mountain bikes, people of all ages slowly crusing on their bikes, most of them pre-or post- trail.  It is a mecca.  Walkers definitely outnumbered.  Here's a blurb from Keweenaw Adventure Company:

Designated as an “IMBA “silver level” ”Ride Center” in 2012,  our trail system is ranked among some of the best in the world due to our variety of gateway, cross-country, flow and gravity trails, in addition to being a mountain biker friendly community.

Centrally located in “downtown” Copper Harbor, the principal mountain bike trailhead is conveniently located right across the street from Keweenaw Adventure Company’s retail shop, behind the Copper Harbor Welcome Center. Our system is a well-established network of nearly 40-miles of marked and mapped singletrack trails that include some of the most unique, scenic and thrilling mountain biking in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Additionally, miles and miles of logging roads and jeep trails traverse the uninhabited tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, with access to remote Lake Superior shorelines, State Forest and conservancy lands, which add another dimension for gravel riding and for the more adventurous explorers.

PRACTICE EXERCISE:  Your Team

Whenever you have the presence of mind, think about your support team. If you’re driving, take a moment to consider the factory workers who produced your steering wheel or rear view mirror. If you’re taking a walk, consider who might have paved the sidewalk or made your shoes. Who made the hinges on your bathroom door, or did the electrical wiring in your home? Experience the team effort involved in getting you through a single day. This is a good remedy for loneliness or self-pity. 

Intensity is Overrated*

From James Clear:

If you stay disciplined, you'll always be progressing even on the days you're not motivated.

Intensity is overrated. Consistency is underrated.
