Nice attitude though and it is well known that every good argument is concluded with "DOOSH BAG" which is both inappropriate (there are younger readers of this forum) and spelled incorrectly. Well played.

From that post, it is unclear whether one needs to have been to the Grand Rapids or not. It is unclear what is being required from the forum and I was interested in the OP's thread as it sounded good.

You are such a good role model for our younger readers. Showing them how to be an uptight nit-picker.

Good English (and being meticulous, being able to construct effective arguments, learning etc.) is part of my job and as such becomes impossible to ignore just because I'm typing on an internet forum instead of drafting documents.
I do not purport to be a good role model and apologise for the apparent misunderstanding that has occurred. I should be grateful if you could do the same so we can get back to the original point of the thread.

The intent of this thread, was to ask if anyone in the Grand Rapids Michigan area, if there are any ,"can't miss",(colloquialism),rides.

I once lived for four years in the Grand Rapids area. Head out to Saugutuck. There is a bike trail all the way up the Lake Michigan coast from Saugutuck to Grand Haven. Maybe Muskegon. The smell of the sassassfras and the sand dunes is amazing.

I'm in G.R and am heading down to the crit tommorrow. Most of the Sunday rides are cancelled as a result of the crit, and because of the holiday. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the locals group up and head out for a ride. I would just keep your ears open while you are down there. There are a lot of nice places to ride in the Grand Rapids area.

There is some serious culturing going on here, at BF.
