After a hectic (but good) day working I was able to get out a little early and go for a ride. Trails are still too squishy to ride, but almost all of the pavement was dry, the sun was out, and the air was warm enough that I could wear knickers, toe covers, a base layer, and a light wind jacket.<\/p>\n<p>During this ride I explored a few neighborhoods that I&#8217;d yet to pass through, finding a new (to me) connector to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.orchardtrail.org\/\">MOT<\/a> near 24 Mile and a route through an undeveloped neighborhood, up a small rock retaining wall, and into another neighborhood that I frequently pass through. While I didn&#8217;t venture into it (because of the aforementioned soft ground and my relatively skinny tires) I also came across a sane entrance to <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?ll=42.674437,-83.07827&#038;spn=0.0093,0.011029&#038;t=h&#038;z=17\">this path-filled yet apparently abandoned area<\/a> which might be a nice place to take a break and eat. More and more of this area is starting to come together mentally, and I&#8217;m getting even more ideas for long path\/residential\/dirt road rides.<\/p>\n<p>The full route \/ GPS data for the ride can be seen <a href=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/activity\/150301425\">here<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This February&#8217;s bizarre weather has made for some really nice riding.
