Sunday, Marty and I decided to bike west on Metro Parkway to Dodge Park, and see if we could find our way to the tunnel under M59 in Utica.
We explored some of the bandit trails through the park. Some were nice, some were obviously not often used and very overgrown. I know that there are some people in Sterling Heights that are trying to work with the city to make these trails legit. I think it would be a great idea, and a nice way to travel through the park via something other then the paved trails.
We had to do a bit of searching to find the tunnel under M59, but once we did, we rewarded ourselves by visiting Ermas for some ice cream.
We hurried a bit on the trip back, because it started to look like we could be hit by some rain. Not that we could hurry THAT much, as we were both on our single speeds, and we were topping out @ about 13MPH. Not super fast, but it was nice to put 33 miles worth of spinning on our legs.
Here’s a link to the route on Google Maps for those interested.
