Subject: RE: Who got out on the road today-Just got back from a 34 mile round trip to downtown Detroit where we had coffee at the award-winnning Astoria Bakery in Greektown. Festive atmosphere downtown with the St Patrick's Day run going on and the parade after. A little gusty and quite chilly today. Rode my new Felt B2 Pro with training wheels on it and was awfully thankful for a full kit of Assos cold weather riding clothes.
Rode with Franke A, Pierre, Mario and Mike- a good crew. Ran into a few cyclists coming west out of the Pointes at Astoria. Apparently a group from the Pointes rides weat into Detroit and does a lap of Belle Isle then tea at the Au Bon Pain in Campus Marsh next to the Hard Rock Cafe'.
We prefer Astoria for delightfully smooth coffee and ecclectic pastries. |
