Ann Arbor is a great town for a bike! You really don't want a car for in-town anything.
The outskirts of town have what we called a Ring of Death of a few miles of nastiness, bad
roads, traffic.
To the NW about 5 miles out of town and then for the next 50 miles it's all great riding though.
Hilly, pretty, quiet, safe.
To the S it can be kinda nice for flat riding in farmland.
AA has a good club and team scene with several levels. They used to have a fierce Thurs Nite ride of
about 45 miles. Silly because it hurt race results but fun for nonracers. I hope they have it in
control now.
There's also good racing in the area every weekend.
Yeah, winter cuts down on riding.
Enjoy!
