A friend and I are driving up to Grayling and renting some sleds in a few days.  I haven't ridden in a few years and spent most of my time further north off the trails when I was. 

We're looking for a solid day's worth of riding and I was thinking of either heading for Charlevoix via #4 trail or heading for Mackinaw via the #7.  I don't know either area very well but have heard the Jordan Valley is a nice ride.

Can anyone recommend one of these trips over the other.  How about a place to stop for lunch and dinner along the way?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Jordan valley is a very nice ride, mackinaw is to, but if you go to mack, make sure u avoid alanson, unless your into roads, and bumpy trails, make sure you go the other way.

There are tons of restaurants along trail 7.  You will have no trouble getting food, fuel, or anything else along that route.

Jordan Valley is a beautiful area.Just try to stay out away from Grayling or Gaylord cause in our experience the closer you get to the bigger cities the Worse the trails get.Just 5 miles out from Grayling the trails get much nicer and the Blue Bear area west of there is a Really nice area with some small towns for gas and food.Runnin north from there is an excellent ride up to the Valley.
