Event Details

Start from Pere Marquette Rail Trail Dublin Rd. trailhead. Parking is at the back of the Senior Services building. Ride at your own pace toward Sanford, MI on rail trail, turning back at whatever distance feels right to you. Distance from Dublin Rd to Sanford is 5.25 miles. Ride leader hopes to ride out 9-10 miles before turning back. Trail is asphalt and in great shape.

Once back to Dublin Rd., riders are invited to the Midland Brewing Company across the street from the trailhead parking lot. Great outside area, plenty of bike racks. First beer/soda is on me.

The iffy weather plus this thing called LIFE may have messed up your evening. I’ll wait until 6:25 before spinning toward Sanford.

IRide sage!

Hey GCC Riders!

24 hours out and it looks like tomorrow evening should be dry, partly cloudy skies and mid-70's temps. Good night for a ride!

Hope to see you all there.

I'm going to try and make it. Have class in Mt. Pleasant until 5 p.m. It's a tight timeline so no guarantees that I'll be able to swing it but would would absolutely LOVE to get in some miles on the rail trail with you.

I'll do my best! Not yet sure what this class has in store for me! It's Monday-Thursday 9-5 p.m. -- thinking after all day in a classroom a bike ride would be perfect. Assuming the workload allows me to walk away. The professor has hinted that a few late night work sessions might be in store. Oh my!!

I'm going to have to back out of plans to ride. In prepping for my week-long class next week I've learned that the professor is expecting total immersion. Am now thinking it might not be possible to get home and transition to a bike ride. Hope to join a future ride --- maybe last week of June?
