Sign up (and come to the launch event
on May 7) to spend Bike Month choosing sustainable transportation for
travel to and from work. The more co-workers get involved, the greater
your chance to win the workplace prize!
Register here for a free, self-supported, untimed ride through the dirt roads and bike paths of Washtenaw County. The 50- and 25-mile routes will run through Whitmore Lake, Hudson Mills Metro Park, and Dexter (then back to Ann Arbor for drinks).
All cyclists, walkers, runners, etc. are welcome to Brighton for this fundraising effort to support safe mobility in Livingston County. This event is free to attend, although we ask that you make a donation to support Dan’s legacy.
This clinic includes demonstrations, small- and large-group instruction, drills, a short practice race, and talks led by licensed coaches and experienced racers. Each session applies core group riding skills and concepts to a different aspect of group riding.
