    Congratulations!!! I did my first organized bike ride last weekend and loved it so much I'm just itching to do another one if only I could find one!!!

    My coworker also did the ride with me and she only rides occasionally. She rode a Trek Navigator which is a hybrid but the tires looked like mountain bike tires beside all those skinny tires. She made it 50 miles on that bike that day!

    It's so much fun, isn't it! I'm happy to hear you had a good experience. Your pictures are gorgeous.

    26 miles - that's a marathon! Well done, and I love the photos.

    This was our third year doing this ride. I like how it's different every year. My husband had a mechanical issue after lunch, so we didn't complete the second loop, but I really liked what we did do. I will say that there are hills in Ann Arbor that I had not realized would be there! Ther surrounding areas are beautiful and fun to ride in.

    Too bad we didn't know each other was going to be there sooner, we could have met and said "Hi", glad that you enjoyed the tour and sorry to hear of your husband's mechanical issues. The northern portion of A2 can be quite hilly and so is the Brighton - Howell area.

    You must have ridden the 62 mile metric century if you went to A2, and I take it you were planning on the 38 mile parks loop to make a full century of it? Wow.

    Cheers to the TdL!
