Welcome to my blog. I love to cycle during the summer time and enjoy training to get into shape for my other enjoyment of running. My son and I look forward to doing the DALMAC bike ride each September. Most of my individual rides are done during the week and are normally about 30 miles. One day on the weekend I ride with some fellow cyclists and ride upwards of 120 miles. Most rides are on the Pere Marquette Rail Trail in Midland, Michigan.

Ride #3 - May 2, 2011

Julia got her new bike so we tried it out.   We took the bikes on the rack and did a nice leisurely paced ride up to the Sanford rest area and back.  So we got a nice 16.5 mile ride in tonight.   It was a bit windy on the way out so we only maintained about 13 mph. 
With the wind at our backs were able to maintain 15 mph.   Julia likes her bike and after I made a few adjustments everything seemed to ride well.   Her rear wheel needs to be trued.  It was a bit cool with the wind coming out of the NW at about 15 mph.   And the sun was partially behind the clouds.  We left at about 6:30 and were back at home by 7:30.  It was a nice ride with Julia.
