(AP) -- This summer's Miner's Revenge mountain bike race in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is taking its name seriously. WLUC-TV reports the five-mile race scheduled for July 12 at Adventure Mine in Greenland will include stretches inside the mine and on the surface. Adventure Mining Co. owner Matt Portfleet says there will be some tight spaces.
He says "a tall person might have to get off and push," but that's part of the fun and the challenge. Adventure Mining, which offers tours of the site, says the copper mine operated from 1850 to 1920. It's located in Ontonagon County in the western Upper Peninsula, about 85 miles northwest of Marquette.
