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 #4 - May 8, 2011

A nice ride with Joe up to Coleman and back.   The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and the air was bone dry.   So had a nice ride with the wind at our backs.   After lunch at the Subway, we went to the Rest Area where we talked to a nice old couple who were riding on their recumbents.   Joe and I then had a trip to the Dollar Store for some energy food to consume at our planned Sanford stop.   I am thankful that I had Joe because the wind was into our face at 15 to 20 mph.
   He pulled me all the way to the Tridge.   We did stop at Sanford for a brief break.   I pulled Joe some of the way back home but was only able to maintain about 12 mph into the wind.  Joe is in super shape and I am in lousy shape.   We did average just below 15 mph and were in the saddle for about 3 hrs 45 min.  It was a nice 54 mile ride.
