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?

Keep intensity low. both tuesday and wednesday evenings/late afternoons we will be doing some light workouts on the bike. Join in...Call 371-2227 to participate

are you studded?

I have to say installing studded tires on a bike was the greatest thing I did this winter. It allows biking in the winter with a minimal wipeout factor. I had resisted using studded tires, telling myself my handling skill will get me through, and my balance would be heightened. (I also used to wipeout at least once a year, usually on "black ice" in a shaded turn or close to the curbs/cracks. All the fears are eliminated with studs! We have been riding on the bay of GB and the local smaller rivers. Conditions are awesome now after the deep freeze and minimal snow. WEIRD is going out this weekend to ride the ice. We will be waiting until mid day to take advantage of the warmth. Ride along.
