We are getting close to the time of year that bike riding is something we can look forward to. For those who ski or do indoor exercise the need to bike is somewhat less intense.  My solution to riding in the spring is to go south. When planning these trips I tend to focus on rails-to-trails bike rides. These paths are flat and void of traffic, which make them great options for early riding.

Trails Council board member Karen Langs loves the place where she was planted back in 1970. She and her husband Russ raised two children in Petoskey, and though her adult children have moved on (one to Florida, the other to Colorado), Langs is embracing her life in Northern Michigan. She reports that after Russ passed, she resolved to continue living the life of joy that he had shared with her during their 53-year marriage.
