Windy but gorgeous day on Saturday in southeast Michigan. I'm gradually getting to know the network of dirt roads enough that I can adjust the route on the fly depending on how much time I have and how I'm feeling – usually not enough and not so strong, respectively. :-)

Chantry Flat and then a fire road up to the Helipad, then fire dirt roads up from there. Not sure what it's called after the Chantry Flat park.

Oh, ok, so you didn't take the trail off to your right before you get up to the helipad, right? That's Upper Winter Creek. MTBers take it, but it is single track. A few miles out, about 3 on that takes you to Santa Anita Cyn and a really nice creek.

Since I'm on a road bike, I've never really explored past the helipad. Stunning up there this time of year.

Oh, no, that one looked narrow from the road.

So, I assume you live near by. Are you ever available to ride around lunch time?

Today I rode my bike to 10,678 feet above sea level (overlooking Albuquerque) then played in the hills a bit. A total of 5787 feet in elevation.

This is me.
