RAMBA Mountain Bike Trails | Ishpeming & Negaunee MI
#RAMBAtrails #Ishpeming #Negaunee #EpicLoop
This was my first time exploring a few of the many RAMBA mountain bike trails near Ishpeming and Negaunee, MI. Luckily, I have friends (Kristi & Erik) who agreed to give Anthony and I a personal tour. They showed us some of the highlights and provided some history of the trails and area.
RAMBA (Range Area Mountain Bike Association) trails are known for their hand built “rake and ride” style with lots of technical elements, beautiful views, and sometimes eerie surroundings. Trail levels run from Green to Double Black Diamond. We mainly stayed on the Blue level trails for an easy day first visit.
These trails fall right between the towns of Ishpeming and Negaunee, consisting of connector two track, and technical single track. Some trails weave around the abandoned Old Negaunee city with only sidewalks, staircases, and foundation walls remaining making for a very interesting ride.
The trails are built and maintained by R.A.M.B.A. To learn more about the organization click below

About Ishpeming | Negaunee Area:
While this video covers a small fraction of the trails, Ishpeming also is proudly known for its skiing history. The city is the birthplace of organized skiing, with the National Ski Association founded in the city on February 21, 1905. Both town’s Iron Ore mining lineage (dating back to the 1800’s) is evident as with historical markers, pathways, and old equipment on display.

    😅 Just saw this. One of my most favorite trails in SE Michigan all year long. The go to trail if the Poto was a mud pit . Go where you want , no rules , no map just ride. To bad it is now only half of what it used to be but glad there is something left. Yes. You make your own route out there. Big part of the fun.

    Nice to see Grubers is still as gnarly and overgrown as it has always been. I imagined it was not well kept because it was not popular with the roadie to MTB converts. We used to do regular night rides on that trail. It was great! The trail made it seem like you were doing 1000mph when going 5mph. The most fun I've had on a trail, ever.

      It’s more that when I was trail coordinator we built the trail to require effort (even small amounts) on every hill…this trail is over 30 years old, and in 2003 we built much of what is there now. Once you get familiar there are places to recover speed from downhills. Glad you had fun
