Hello--from Michigan

**WindingRoad** · 02-26-2010, 07:48 AM

Hi T.C.! I have almost the exact same dimensions as you and I too have a relatively short torso. I'm riding a women's Lemond Versailles now which is very similar to the women's Madone. You might try one of those while you are out test riding. I will tell you there is an aggressive position Madone now and a more relaxed one, I like them both actually but I don't remember which is which. Happy hunting!

Welcome! I travel to Michigan a lot for work. What a wonderful, bike-friendly place to live! I'm even a member of League of Michigan cyclists--just to get the calendar.

Helloo from another Michigan cyclist!

Howdy from yet another Michigan cyclist. I got a new road bike last week - a Specialized Dolce Sport. It hasn't made it outside, just on the trainer. It is way more comfortable than I ever thought a road bike would be...however I am only 5'5" and got a 54cm wsd frame.

Hello from another Michigan cyclist. Where abouts is everyone located in Michigan? I'm in the Mid-Michigan - Bay City/Saginaw/Midland area.

Part time, about 80 miles north of you on the lake.

West MI...sucks that we all live so far-flung. I've been thinking that it would be nice to do some TE group rides.

I live in SE MI, one of the downriver suburbs of Detroit.

Are any of you attending some of the organized rides that the LMB has on their ride calendar for the year? This would be my first year to try one of these.

I would love to but, need to get my bike purchased and get comfortable on a road bike as opposed to my mountain bike, then get used to clipless pedals....and check out the calendar of rides. I am signed up for the Apple Cider century at the end of Sept though.....anyone else going to be there??

I do plan to do a lot of training at the Metro Parks this summer.....mostly Stoney Creek and Kensington. Does anyone else ride at those places? If so, I wouldn't mind some company every now and then.

I live in the Grand Rapids area now, but grew up in downriver Detroit area.
Nice to "meet" all of you Michigan ladies on here, LOL!
