Hello--from Michigan

[Trek-chick]

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.

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!

South Central here-just far enough away to make it inconvenient at least.
Some rides we like-
One helluva Ride (Chelsea)
Tour de Livingston(Brighton)
Holland Hundred(Holland)

There's another one to check out...in Oct., I think. The Colorburst Tour. It's a century, but there are shorter options, too. In the Grand Rapids area. My hubby is also helping organize this year's ODRAM (One Day Ride Across MI) ride.

That might be fun- my daughter is a student at SVSU wher that will be ending. Won't be the first time we finished a ride near her campus, exhausted!

Hey that gives me an idea-maybe someone should organize a ride from Grand Valley State University to Saginaw Valley State University. There are other events those two do together, one being the War of the Valleys football game. Usually money is raised for some charity as part of this event.

As a GVSU grad I would definitely be interested--Go, Lakers!

I think it starts in my town, too. This year I will not be up for it, but maybe by next year. It definitely looks like a fun event and a great way to see this pretty state.
