Cycling Clubs Near Livonia, Michigan
Hello gang.
I have just moved to a new Money Pit, located in Wayne County in the township of Livonia, MI. Anybody know of cycling clubs in this area, that a 52 year old can keep up with?

Go to lmb.org (League of Michigan Bicyclists) and check out the local club listings. I know there are some other clubs in the area but can't think of the names.
I know the AABTS has a regular "Far East Fringe" ride starting in downtown Plymouth.
If you're feeling masochistic the Wolverines have some "moderate" (ha!) rides out of Northville.
Although an Eastsider, I am working a contract job in Plymouth (M-14 & Beck Rd.). Maybe we'll meet on one of my after work rides. Look for a silver Giant OCR with yellow tires & yellow bar tape. Or sometimes a black Schwinn FG conversion...often on Hines Dr. between Northville & Plymouth.

Uh, Livonia is a city, that's where I grew up.
Lived on Loveland three houses north of West Chicago(SE of Plymouth and Farmington Rd).
I've read of a ride that goes out to Northville on Hines Dr, but could be a bit harrowing if they haven't widened the road with a shoulder.

I really messed up not getting into cycling regualrly when I was much younger. Had a Schwinn Continental with chrome fenders. Rode twice out to the end of Hines Dr in Northville twice, and once wandered up to Walled Lake and back.
