The helmet cam today takes us to Commerce, Michigan for a ride at one of the underrated trails in the area, Hickory Glen Park. A basic 5+ mile loop with no major ball breaking hills, it is ideal for the beginning rider. The terrain works great as well for winter riding as it is one of my favorites for a fat bike winter pedal.

The park is located off of Glengary Road, west of one of the many 'Commerce' directional roads, east of Benstein Road and north of the village of Wolverine Lake. A word of advice on parking; avoid the ball field area during baseball season as the foul balls are aplenty.
positives
A great, simple trail for the rider looking to decide if the activity is for them. If the bike breaks down or the mojo is not there, the walk out is not a marathon.
The Glengary Inn about 4 blocks west of the park has a bare bones grill but produces some outstanding food.
negatives
One negative I guess is the township who has asked the local mountain bike chapter to jump through too many hoops to build a simple wood bridge over a creek that would extend another mile of trail.
A nice fall by yours truly at about the 50 second mark of the attached.
