Hello--from Michigan

**pinsonp2** · 03-08-2010, 06:34 AM

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.

South east Michigan

I live in The S.E. Part of MI also......still shopping for a road bike.

I bet I'm pretty close to you SE Michigan ladies....I'm SW Ontario near the Sarnia/Pt Huron border crossing.

About 500 miles from you ladies - in da U.P., eh!

I grew up in Grand Rapids, then spent grad school years in Ann Arbor, and now I'm down to just two weeks a summer up in Traverse City at the in-laws cottage. But I'm still a Michigander at heart

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.

**TryingisDying** · 03-10-2010, 03:03 AM

Im at kensington a few times a week once the snow is gone.....Im not sure what I am doing this year when it comes to racing/riding. I need to look at that soon!
