We took a brief ride in the neighborhood behind the LBS and the winds stung my cheeks and my eyes watered so much is was hard to see. It was fierce! But when we turned out of the wind the sun made it tolerable.
Earlier this week I had a couple of new exploring rides. I went out the the Border to Border trail but took a loop I've never been on that really isn't part of the trail but keeps you in touch with it and there are various points you can hop back on it. The link to that route is here. It took me on the other side of the Argo Loop. That side is on the eastern side of the river along a high ridge, the climb up to that ridge was steep and sharp but once up it it was mostly flat at the top with great look outs over the river at this time of year with no leaves on the trees. I did stop and take a photo of this tree cause I was giggling at the fact it seemed to be looking back at me when I rode by. I called it the voodoo tree and it was on the ascent up the ridge. Once the ascent was completed the route takes you along the east side of the river to the Argo Dam. The following day it was warmer yet with lots of sunshine and I took another new route in Webster Township to Dexter Michigan via Gregory Rd. I came across this Llama Farm at the corner of Zeeb and Gregory Roads. The trip was all rollers with some significant climbs. The trip out was fully into a 25 mph strong and steady wind and nearly wore me out. I was packing an energy bar and it powered me up enough for the return trip, minus the wind helped. These curious little critters love to come right up to the fence to check you out. The link to the route can be found here
