07-18-2013 Ride

Solo ride from Aunt Polly's house, 3440 Bowen Red in Howell, MI. I had rented a bike from a bike shop on the MSU campus. It was a mountain bike, so my pace wasn't as fast. I headed over to Tooley Red, then to Hwy 59 to get to Grand River Rd.  I headed west toward Fowlerville, riding through pretty farmland and nice little towns.  Fowlerville was gearing up for its annual fair, we missed it by a week.  I continued on Grand River Rd to Webberville, turning around at the stoplight and heading back by retracing my route.  I hadn't worn my sunglasses, so riding back east into the sun was a little uncomfortable.  My hands got a little numb from the unfamiliar pressure points on the mountain bike handlebars.

Avg speed = 17 mph. Total mileage = 26.1 mi
Total elevation gain = 370'
