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 #7 - May 22, 2011

Decided to venture into the 80+ temperature and high humidity.   As I approached Midland on my intended ride to Coleman, the sky darkened in the west.   I debated whether to turn around.   Decided to proceed on my planned ride to Coleman.   It rained at times from the 3.5 mile mark all the way to the Sanford rest area.   I called home to get some information regarding the extent of the storms.   Decided it was traveling in a northeasterly route and south of where I was.   So decided to continue on to Coleman.   I ran out of water and gator ade.   Water was not turned on at Coleman.   Called home and asked if they wanted to either meet in Sanford for hamburgers or in Clare for pizza.   Pizza it was.   So rode up to Clare and met Joe and Mary there for dinner.   Got a nice 37 miles in today.
