I thawed I thaw a muddy rat!

Jez keedin!

Actually I scoped out a trail near my house and dang that ice melted fast! So I went back and swapped for my SS and rode around town. Nice day for a pavement ride! My spring thaw rides are usually around Ann Arbor, Kensington and ILRA pavement, or Maybury pavement. Where else do fat tires hit the road out there?

This time of year I ride pavement and dirt roads...I am planning on organizing a weekly group ride from Northville through Hines and subdivisions. Also a weekend ride at ILRA on pavement to Kensington or along the 96 bike path to South Lyon or places unknown. Hines routes range from 10 - 20 miles

An attempt to get riders started earlier, but on different terrain.
Details thus far:

Eric,
I did mention doing a weekend ride as well at ILRA or Kensington...both nearby :?

I will be setting up a Thursdy ride as well, once the season begins...these are typically training group rides.

East side

I'm surprised he hasn't replied yet but hook up with LUV2MTB and his group, they usually ride at least one night a week in the areas you mentioned.

Mild Salsa RIde will resume this May

Mild Salsa Ride will resume this May...
Wingzz I will probably be organizing the "Mild Salsa" training rides a few of us trails-edge.com rider did regularly on Thursdays a few years ago. It is 25-35 miles (or more) and went out on dirt roads to Bald Mountain, hits the paint creek, up dutton and back to squirrel. It would be easy to add some more trails in as well with Stony, or Bloomer nearby. We tried to average 14-15 mph (dutton usually killed this avg. :oops: )

I'll post info later ths spring.
Mike

Tom actualy I forgot about your thursday rides but that wont happen again
let me know when they start! Chris is going to pishca next month and he's been trying to get me to go but with me going to austrailia this summer my wife's not big on me doing vactions (bike trips) without her

Mike let me know what night your going to ride out here and as long its not on the same night as tom's thursday night rides I will be there

It's been almost 3 weeks since I've been out on my bike and I'm going stir crasy, but I now have a fast new win2000 computer, It took me 2 weeks to build it and load all the software and get it networked with my daughters to share i-net access. Is all up and running now
Later
