Let’s get started - It’s spring again!

Are you as ready as I am for a new season of bike riding?
We still have patches of snow around but I started cleaning my bikes this weekend and I’m making my training and ride plans for 2008
This year, I have two long distance rides he wants to do. The first, of course, is my favorite - the Michigander, which this year takes a route that starts July 12 in Grand Rapids and travels north to Traverse City July 18.
The second ride I hope to do is the Tour ‘Da U.P., which meanders across a section of the state’s Upper Peninsula August 3 -7th.
I hope to get out as often as possible starting now as the weather allows but for sure, to kick in the training by late April. I’d be delighted to get some company and invite you join me in training.
I’ll do the long ride every Saturday at 8:30 am and start in the parking lot of the Rochester Public Library starting May 3.
During the week, I’ll be riding about 8:30 am most mornings along Paint Creek Trail between Rochester and Lake Orion, or at the Stony Creek Metro Park in Shelby Township.
Let me know if you’ll be coming by commenting below. I’ll update this regularly as riding season really kicks in.

I probably won’t be joining you, since I live in Indiana, but I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your videos and ride descriptions last year. Hope you can include a few this year.
Happy riding!
