Ypsilanti area rides?

Postby Rustyton » April 20th, 2012, 11:33 am

Looking for people to ride with in or around the surrounding area. I live on the south side of Ypsi near the high school. Group rides, road, cyclocross, mountain... Anybody have a lead for me? Thanks, Russ.

Hey Russ. I've been riding from home after work on most Tuesdays and Thursdays. About 6-6:30 ish depending on when I get home from work. Lots of options. Tuesday we (my wife and I) do a casual pace dirt road ride north out of Ypsi then west into A2 then typically back through Gallup. About a 10-13 mph pace with stops. I have a couple of friends that meet on Tuesdays for a semi-fast A2 local loop as well.
Thursday is my faster "training" ride. Usually on a CX doing mix of paved and dirt roads with some single track thrown in for good measure. I try to hit as many climbs as possible. Roughly a 15-16 mph pace 35-40 miles in 2-3 hours.
I'm on the SE side a mile east of Depot town.
Let me know if you're interested.
-Nate

I just moved to Saline, so I'm kind of in the same boat.

You should definitely check out Rolling Hills Park if you haven't already. I will probably be riding that one a lot.

I'm also interested in finding some good roads for my cross bike on the south side.

Just rode to Rolling Hills and into A2 yesterday. The dirt roads are great around here. Buy Dirt Road Washtenaw - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dirt-Roa ... 6651763128.
Great info on the local dirt roads. A must own for this area.
I'm going to organize an informal CX training ride at Rolling Hills staring in September. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday nights around 6:30. I'll post it under the group rides section.

Also interested in a group ride, dirt roads and/or trails. I had thought different DRW routes would be a good weekly/monthly group ride, but always seem a little to busy to set anything up.
