Metro Grand Spring Tour

Yesterday I met with Jeff and Bill my earlier riding partners to ride through Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham. Basically bounded by Lone Pine, Maple, Telegraph, and Old Woodward. There were some smaller hills, but it was a pretty relaxed ride.

This morning I did the Metro Grand Spring Tour with those guys and a few others. We started at Willow Metropark in Belleville and it was still pretty cool when we began. But once we put on the road it was great. They had pancakes at mile 12, which was awesome. And it continued to warm up as we rode. After the second stop at mile 25 we picked up the pace and skipped the third at last stop.

All told it was 47 miles through some beautiful parks and sparsely traveled roads. I feel good and it was a great first long ride as I prepare for Journey of Hope.
