Registration includes a course map, an aid station stocked with food, hydration and mechanical support, AND an entry to the after party. The aid station and after party will take place on Saturday only (rain date Sunday the 19th).  The aid station, post ride food, swag, and entertainment are enthusiastically provided by Tree Fort Bikes.  Local craft beer from Wolverine State Brewing Co. will be available for $5 per glass.

Number plates, wrist bands and pre-ordered merchandise can be picked up at Tree Fort Bikes 1866 Whittaker Rd. Ypsilanti from September 13th to 17th. We will also have a pickup station one night only at Wolverine State Brewing Co., 2019 W. Stadium Blvd in Ann Arbor. Look for the Poto MBA tent in the parking lot on Thursday September 16th from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. 

Proceeds and donations from TTC 2021 will help fund the Poto Revitalization Project.

We need your help! For this event to run smoothly, we need many volunteers! A little of your time can go a long way! You can volunteer and still do the ride. Sign up for one of the many flexible volunteer options here. 

You can only experience the beautiful, rustic Waterloo-Pinckney hiking trail by bike once a year, during the TTC by special permit from the MiDNR.  The rest of the year, this incredible terrain is only open to foot travel.

The after party is held on the picturesque shore of the Silver Lake swimming area. You can take a refreshing dip in the lake and hang out! Each trail has a unique character. Poto is known for its “old school”, technical climbs and descents, and that big loop trail design that makes you feel like you’re far away from everything. The Waterloo-Pinckney hiking trail is a rare sight for riders and will allow you to experience the rustic beauty of the recreation area that might otherwise go unseen. Then roll on to the electric flow of Michigan’s “Dirt Roller Coaster”. The DTE Energy Foundation Trail is full of sculpted berms, rollers, jumps and rock piles that will have you grinning and feeling like a kid again. 

You and your friends can challenge yourself with a full-on epic adventure or scale it down to one of the shorter loop options. 

Triple Trail Challenge is the single largest fund-raiser for the Poto MBA, so register today!
