Starting quite early this morning we took off towards the west side of the Detroit area, and ended up riding <a href=\"http:\/\/mmba.org\/index.php?option=com_trailguide&#038;task=trail&#038;cid=1\">Island Lake<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/mmba.org\/index.php?option=com_trailguide&#038;task=trail&#038;cid=5\">Maybury<\/a> (both loops of each), with a break to eat lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/leosconeyisland.com\/\">Leo&#8217;s Coney Island<\/a> and stop by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trails-edge.com\/\">Trail&#8217;s Edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since I&#8217;d never ridden either of those trails it was a nice new experience, and I&#8217;ll definitely be visiting them in the future. They are both about the same level of technical difficulty that I&#8217;m accustomed to, but much longer in length. I imagine that once the weather is a bit nicer (read: warm enough for shorts) they&#8217;ll be a whole bunch of fun.<\/p>\n<p>Today wasn&#8217;t so nice, necessitating shorts and a jacket and full finger gloves. Since I only have <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/10\/17\/bike-clothing-and-otherwise\/\">wind\/waterproof full finger gloves<\/a> Bob loaned me his <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/moblog\/20090413160624.jpg.html\">Fox Digit<\/a> gloves, which worked out great. If I&#8217;m needing to buy some for myself I think I&#8217;ll get these.<\/p>\n<p>After arriving home at 6:30ish I showered, picked up some fish and chips from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chickenshack.com\/\">Chicken Shack<\/a>, then watched a bunch of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Office_(U.S._TV_series)#Season_three\">Season 3 of The Office<\/a>. Now, bed. I&#8217;ve got lots of work waiting for me in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having today off (Easter Monday Holiday), I ended up heading out to some mountain bike trails with some friends from the MMBA, Bob and John.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/04\/13\/island-lake-and-maybury\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Island Lake and Maybury<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,14,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cycling","category-food","category-work","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1452"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1455,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1452\/revisions\/1455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
