Owasippe has been around since 1911 and some of the routes through the property are even older than the camp. You can tell when you ride there, and I mean that as a compliment. It’s tight, hand cut, old school Michigan singletrack with roots, narrow turns and sand everywhere. No machine built flow or perfectly shaped berms. You finally get …
Before we get into the Addison Oaks recap, we have to start with our little buddy Alexander, who is still recovering in the hospital. We missed you this weekend, buddy. Your whole Coyote family is thinking about you, and we can’t wait to see you back out ripping trails with us soon. 💛💙 Addison Oaks had a little bit of …
Okay Merrell… Our home course, our biggest race weekend of the season and the one where Coyotes seem to be everywhere at once. We needed all of them too, because 115 riders rolled to a starting line over two days. That’s 115 Coyotes racing, cheering, looking for snacks, asking when they race, forgetting when they race, fixing things that were …
Race season is back, which means the Coyotes are back riding bikes, cheering loudly, eating snacks and repairing things that were completely fine when they left the garage. Thunderstorms rolled through most of Saturday morning because apparently Stony Creek wanted to recreate our last visit in 2023. If you were there, you remember. Rain, mud and every parent checking the …
COYOTES STATE CHAMPS! HIGH SCHOOL COMPOSITE WINNERS, BAAAABBBYYY! Read that again. STATE. CHAMPIONS. Say it like the one and only sports announcer legend Dick Vitale…hands waving, voice cracking, coffee replaced by Red Bull: “It’s AWESOME, BAAAABBBYYY!” The Coyotes rolled into the 2025 MiSCA State Championship like a sugar fueled fever dream and rolled out on top of the state. Months …
Word of the weekend? Crash. Not the movie. Not the stock market. Just Coyotes hitting the dirt like it was a team-building exercise. Dust clouds, snack clouds, brake squeals…Bloomer Park this weekend wasn’t a race, it was a fever dream sponsored by snacks. Eighty degrees. In October. Michigan. Somebody turned the “simulate July county fair” knob to 11 and then …
Saturday cooked us like hotdogs left too long on the grill…mostly because Coach Ryan was up at Marji and apparently he’s the only one who knows how to flip the dawgs without burning them. It wasn’t just warm, it was “whose genius idea was navy blue jerseys in full sun” warm. Parents were melting into their camp chairs, huddled under …
Race 2: The Dirt Road World Tour Addison Oaks isn’t a mountain bike race. It’s NASCAR on dirt with snack tables. It’s so flat and so fast that if you blink, you don’t just miss your rider…you miss the entire lap. Parents swore they saw sparks flying off the trail. One dad whispered, “I think my kid just drafted a …
It started like any other weekend…bikes in the truck, snacks in the cooler, parents half-awake and clutching coffee like life support. Birds chirping, dew on the grass, dads triple-checking their tire pressure gauges like they’re prepping for the Tour de France. Moms casually packing “just a few snacks” which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be an entire pantry. Kids …
Dirty 30 Recap: Sunshine, Speed, and a Whole Lotta Dust Just one week after we froze our spokes at Barry Roubaix, the Coyotes rolled into Dirty 30 with sunshine on our backs and gravel in our teeth. It was 20 degrees warmer at the start and you could feel the energy shift. Fewer hand warmers. More smiles. Slightly less complaining …
