WOW, what a ride today. I've wanted to find a safe route from my house to Stoney Creek for a while now and decided to give it a go. Started from 14 mile and rode up Jefferson to Metro Park bilke path. Took the path to Schoenherr (sp) and continued on the path up Schoenherr to Utica Rd. to Dodge Park. I rode through the park to a tunnel that went under M59 and into the city of Utica, then unfortunatly, I took a wrong turn and headed up Auburn Rd. by the time I got to Dequinder I figured it out. Now it was fairly windy today and since I left the house I had a tailwind which was very encouraging but when I had to turn around and go back to Utica it was straight into the wind. That was a little taste of what my ride back home from Stoney would be like. So I made it back to Utica and headed north on Cass which turned into Shelby Rd. and went straight into Stoney Creek, a nice road to ride, it's smooth and not too much traffic. So I made it to SC and it's not a bad ride, just don't get lost, once there I did a couple laps around the park and then the part I was dreading, back home into the wind all the way. I hate the wind, it was a very good ride today and with that wind I was toast, my sister would say my cook was goosed :)
I'll post a message when I do this ride again if anyone would like to join me.
How was your ride today?
