ROADIE 101

A urban bicycle riding skill class is now open for enrollment. Most training should be done on the pave as we thaw out. You need to "drive your bike". Same roads, same rules, same rights! Period. It is the safest way to ride. I can prove it. Classes are scheduled around your schedule/training

DORT frozen & open

With the cold upon us AGAIN, DORT is frozen and 90% open..riding friday until 100 pm....Tours available

conditons and activities

As of 3-8 most roads are in decent shape... minor side roads are still snow covered. I am amazed how beneficial studded tires have been for riding this year. They really allow you to ride in almost any weather. I think that new salt/brine mix they throw on the roads now is helping, but I wonder what the health risk is in breathing that shit?? Especially being passed by large trucks/buses who will not yield/slow for a cyclist or pedestrian. The worse the conditions are, the more you should take your lane....gonna downhill ski on sunday @ Marquette Mt....Saturday should be an epic ride...who's in?
