07-19-2013 Ride

Solo ride in the morning from Aunt Polly's house, heading over to Tooley Rd and up the 59 to Grand River Rd, this time heading east into Howell.  This road takes you through the old downtown, which is quaint.  There are a lot of lights on this road, and its looks like suburbia beyond the downtown section.  I kept going, riding past Lake Chemung and turning on Hughes Rd, starting to head back and riding around the lake.  The road eventually turned into an unpaved section, and I got a little worried that it wouldn't cross Highland Rd (Hwy 59) like I expected.  But I stuck it out and it did get to an intersection, which I took and headed west.  This road goes through the newer section of Howell, and it looks pretty nice as well.  I then rode back to Polly's house the same way I came out of her neighborhood.
