Freewheeler is a great bike store with fair pricing.

It looks like we have a few riders interested in going for a ride. Most who have responded indicate they will be bringing their own bikes. If there is anyone else besides me who would like to ride, but will not be able to bring their bicycle to Grand Rapids, I found a local bike shop that is willing to rent seemingly just about any type of bike. They indicated to me that they have several recumbents for me to choose from. I presume they would also have road bikes. So, if anyone would like to rent a road bike while in Grand Rapids, you might want to try Tammi at: Freewheeler Bike Shop 915 Leonard st nw Grand Rapids, MI 49504 616-451-8011 phone 616-451-9890 fax freewheelerbikeshop at hotmail.com http://www.freewheelerbikeshop.com/ Another thought I had was when could we go for a bike ride? Before the convention starts? When I go through the trouble of yanking my bicycle out from my shop I usually ride at least 40 miles, if not 60 or 70. That often takes the better part of a day. Last I heard they have classes all day at the convention..... So when would we go biking? Maybe also I'm stuck on a summer-in-Florida biking schedule - start at 5:30 AM and finish before the sun broils your scalp off or melts your tires..... Maybe not so bad up nearer the Arctic Circle?

I'll probably be bringing my road bike to the GR convention. Anyone up for a ride? My average speed right now is about 16+ mph on the hilly roads of north Mississippi. I'll probably be up to 16.5 - 17.0 by July. Flat roads I could probably do at least 19-20 average. But I don't know for sure since we don't have flat roads here. :-) If anyone knows of some good off-road routes in the GR area, I'd be up for that too. Can bring my mountain bike as well.
