Spring has Sprung





Michigan can be beautiful in the spring! The bulbs have arrived - here are millions of "Glory of the Snow" a beautiful blue spring bulb that we see 15 miles into our daily ride. 75 degrees today, cycled 123 miles so far this week. We really want to have 1000 club miles in by May 1. So far we have 813. That means we need 187 more in 12 days. Think we can make it?

Cycling




Yeah! Some hills to ride in Florida! Yes there are hills there! Three 17% ones on the same road-one right after the other. Mt. Dora is a bicycle friendly city that holds an annual bike festival. They publish maps that are available to anyone year around. The maps are supplemented by cue sheets-turn by turn instructions. Sometimes they even paint turn marks called "Dan Henry's" on the road-especially helpful in the rain. Great fun to ride new roads, new hills and find new friends!
