2009 West Michigan Bike MS

A “20% chance of showers in the morning” report led to actual rain throughout the morning and early afternoon this year on Saturday, but this apparently only increased the speed of the cyclists on the tour: both the Saturday and Sunday routes were closed out extremely fast! Luckily, Sunday was sunny and gorgeous, which was exactly the way it should have been on the shores of Lake Michigan. Enjoy!
