I will be heading to the Upper Peninsula the end of this week. I have road up there before, only once on my CT. I’ll be running Shinko 244s , 2.5 on front and rear.

the trails are mostly reallly well kept, mostly flat dirt. However there are intermittent areas with sand.

what are people’s recommendations for tire pressure when riding off road, specifically sand or loose terrain? I was thinking no more than 30 although I don’t know if tht would mke much of a difference from 33. Maybe more like 28. Let me know guys

12-15 in the sand? But that could allow the tire to shift on the roads. She ain’t no sand buggy, I’d roll my standard 20-25 dirt road pressure for the whole ride.
Can you still get a Clyde’s burger just across the bridge??

Ok so you go pretty low off road. 20-25 seems good. It’s not sandy the whole way just areas so I’ll go around 25 whole ride.

I’m not sure, only our 3rd year going up there. I’ll have to look it up and hopefully can get one!
