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 #8 - May 30, 2011
The weather has not been very good. We got back from the Bridge Run on Sunday and I was hoping to get all of the lawn mowed but rain moved in. However I got enough done that I decided to ride with the Hogs on Memorial Day. We met at the Tridge at 9:00 and went to Clare via the Colonsville Road. It was very warm reaching 88F. We met a woman from Germany who had to be around 60 years old as she was riding solo across country. We ate at the Subway and I felt good until we approached Coleman. I cut back to about 15 to 16 riding mostly with Barker as Dennis and Dave dropped off. This was one of Dennis's first rides of the year. I rode home and got home around 4:30. We took rests at Coleman and Loomis on the way up and at Coleman and Sanford and the Tridge (for me) on the way back. I then mowed grass from 6:00 to 9:00!!! Not fun.
