Warren, Michigan area
I'm a newbie in the Warren,Michigan area .
Looking for fun places to learn with my new 2007 Trek 8000 ZR mountain bike.
I'm a bit out of shape and need to get some workouts in.
I also have 2 kayaks, a 12 ft Dagger, and a 18 ft Epic Endurance.
Cross Training on the weekends is a definite possibility.

Hi, all! I've posted a bit on this forum, and quite a bit in Classic & Vintage and Fifty PLussers. I live in Ann Arbor, MI, this winter mainly riding the TV set and fluid trainer. My wife adn I returned to cycling around three years ago, and I'm sorta irregular but a lot better than when we started. She kicks butt.
I'm a native of Chicago, with loads of in-city and suburban commuting and recreational experience there.
I ride a '80 Masi, a '80 Woodrup (my main mount), a '85 Mondonico (nice bike seeking new home), and a '84 Trek 610 (may also be ready to leave the nest). Mrs. Road Fan rides a Breezer Liberty Range Bike.
I'm lookoing for Ann Arborites or near-Ann Arbor people to ride with, on weekday evenings and weekends. I'm not fast and I need a lot of base training. I might be able to make the BFNIC spring ride.

I went last year and was quite disappointed. I went expecting to look at lots of bikes but saw very few. Lots of clubs there, very few bike reps and very little retail except one corner that gets picked thru very quickly. I myself dont plan on going back.

IMHO, the CBS is hardly worth the $$ or effort. Our club is planning a ride to Navy Pier that weekend; however, we've mostly decided to check-out the smoked almonds and other nuts, then ride back to Elmhurst.

Last time I went, it was a complete waste of time. I won't go back again, especially if it's in the city.
