Last weekend was a pretty good weekend for people who like biking. Saturday was the Bike Feast in Dearborn. It's a potluck dinner that had about 100 people who would rather be biking but at least could talk about biking with people who would listen. There were several speakers. One was the guy who organizes the Ann Arbor - Saline Classical Bicycle Swap Meet. He brought in several biles from the 30's and 40's. They were pretty amazing. He said most of the bikes were found in people's garages. He encouraged us to look in the garage. We had Robert Krzewinski from the League of Michigan Bicyclists reminding us of the work that they do and asking us to join. (LMB hosts the PALM web site.) Dale Hughes talk about velodromes and bicycle track racing. There will be a 3 day event at the velodrome in Bloomer Park in Rochester Hills at the beginning of May that he encouraged us all to go to. A good night for a winter night.
The next day was the PALM meeting. The route has already been laid out (and the maps go to the printer on April 1. No fooling.) The planning on all the sites (New Buffalo, Dowagaic, Sturgis, Coldwater, Hudson, Tecumseh, and Sterling State Park in Monroe) is well under way. The ride reached its 700 rider cutoff on February 19, earlier than last year. So far confirmations for 589 riders have been sent out.
Kevin Degen said that at long last his new bike (a trike) is being built. They had to change the design from a two wheels in front one to a two wheels in back one. Here is an picture of the frame. There will be a Bike Presentation and Celebration on March 30, 2:00 PM at Father Bill Borowski Activity Center at St. Hubert Church in Harrison Township. You can get there by taking the Metro Parkway exit off I-94 (exit 236), turning east, and going 3 miles. It's on the right side.
