It’s been quite a year chock full of new biking adventures. At the risk of jinxing myself, I rode 2,400 miles without a flat, from the Upper Peninsula to the heart of Detroit. And I’ve had more fun than you can shake a stick at!
Despite this being my fourth year as an avid (read crazy) road biker, there were plenty of firsts to keep things lively and interesting.
May
My first wild and crazy experience with Zoo-de-Mack. Nothing like several thousand people biking from Boyne Highlands to Mackinaw City on a chilly May morning! You can bet I’ll be back.
July
At the Antlers in the Soo!
This year’s week-long ride started and ended in St. Igance with the Michigan Upper Peninsula – MUP – ride sponsored by the League of Michigan Bicyclists. Have never been above the bridge, with my bike that is, until this trip. Amazing sights along the way.
August
The ODRAM: One Day Ride Across Michigan. Dare I say it again? I rode 147 miles. In one day. Boom!
The Wayne State Baroudeur cruising through Detroit. It was awesome. Already penciled in for 2016.
September
Just crossed the Mackinac Bridge!
DALMAC: five-day east route. Third time for the DALMAC, first time on this route. Up and over the bridge. It totally rocked. So did the riding crew! Can’t wait for a repeat.
Slow Roll through Detroit. An adventure with thousands of other riders for an after-work ride through the Motor City. Two thumbs up.
November
The Silver Bells Parade in Lansing was a blast. Who doesn’t love being in a parade?
Better yet, more adventures await in 2016.
