Along my travels the past few years some people have asked about a bike rally in Michigan. Of course there are a lot of places many people would like along the lakeshore, but I realized that two things which have reached international importance are right out my back door and I do it every year. Every year around the end of Sept I ride up to Yankee Springs Campground and spend the weekend where I ride through the forest along the route of the Barry Roubaix gravel race and spend the following day riding (or driving/riding, depending on the weather) to Grand Rapids for the Art Prize competition.
I thought I would throw that out there and invite anybody who wishes to tag along. It would be the last weekend of September.
Hi Marc,
A MC and HYN to you. Is this a suggestion for a Seventh Annnual 50+ Ride this summer? DnvrFox has already
posted a suggestion for 2015. Just recently I was thinking that a trip to Michigan would be nice in early July if if it were to include the OneHelluva Ride with fellow subscribers as in 2011; and I hoped to suggest a Boston Bicycling Weekend, or two, this summer.
Personally, I prefer road (asphalt) cycling to gravel, and late September is not as amenable to vacation as June through August.
Sincerely,
Jim
