Any members in Michigan?

[Imanewcreation]

I have never done a tour or rode with anyone besides my DH.....I would love to get with others who share the love of riding. My DH is "ok" with riding, but does it just so I have someone to ride with. Anyways......maybe some of you Michiganders can lead me into the right direction on where to start with a group......? I'm even up to riding with just a couple gals..... anything right now just to get me started towards a tour. I do ride solo, but not more than 20 miles. Thanks gals.

Michigan is a big state. What part are you from. I still have a lot of friends in all parts of the state, many who ride. More mountain bikers than road riders, but maybe I could help if you narrow it down some!

I live in Michigan, but about 500 miles from you, in Calumet (yes Nicole309, that Calumet! ). Not much help with finding people to ride with downstate, I'm afraid. I'll bet there are tons of women interested in starting a group - maybe you could check at your LBS?

Hey Imanewcreation!

As Jeni said, I'm from MI, but a bit away from you. I know around here (metro detroit) the major roadie groups are cycling saddlemen, wolverines, and the ann arbor touring society. The Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society is a pretty major group, so you may be able to find some people around that area. Here is a link to their forum:

If you're into mountain biking, check out www.mmba.org.

You may be able to find some people on that site who are into road riding also. There are some females that post on the board, not sure if any are from your area though.

Also check out some of your local shops and see if they have any rides.

If you're ever around this area though, PM me and we can go for a ride!

I'm a roadie from Bancroft, MI about 30 miles east of Lansing. You may want to check out the Tri-County Bicycling Association out of Lansing. They sponser several supported rides throughout the year. http://www.biketcba.org/
Coming up July 21st is their Women on Wheels Ride(WOW). The guys are welcome too. The ride starts in Mason,MI. The TCBA also has a calander of of daily rides with a variety of speeds and distances to choose from.
