North Country Trail open from 56th to Marilla*

Thanks to the efforts of many of the members of the Shoreline Cycling Club, our section of the NCT in Lake, Mason and Manistee Counties is open.  A quick tally of man-hours driving home last night, purely a guess, but I’m guessing it’s taken 150 man-hours to get this trail, and the Ludington School Forest trails, open.
* The section between Free Soil Road and West 5 mile isn’t open yet, but the ride around is pretty easy.
