Cop Allegedly Threatened To Ticket Cyclist For Wearing A Skirt
Look out ladies. The NYPD doesn't like the way you dress. I saw this article on Gothamist.

Wanderlust 2011 Part 4.something
I'm loading my bike up right now. I should just have to get dressed tomorrow morning and roll out. If you'll be meeting me there, have a great ride! If you're missing out on this one, well, that's too bad. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate...more or less. Should be a real nice ride on Sunday. Have a great weekend!

Wanderlust 2011 Delayed!
My significant other informed me this morning that I have a wedding to attend this weekend. That means the trip to the lake shore is put on hold for one week.

Wanderlust 2011 Part 3
Link to Part 1
Okay, so I'm going to ride to Saugatuck on Saturday, May 21st, 2011. I will be leaving Hastings around 10 AM. That should put me at Saugatuck Dunes State Park some time around 3 PM. High temperatures are supposed to be in the 70's and overnight lows in the lower 60's.
Once I get there, I'll be either swimming, laying on the beach, hiking back and forth from the beach, or playing disk golf. You can find directions to the disk golf course on my route sheet in the Part 2. If you're going to come out, and you want me to be looking for you, drop me an email at pocketfullofaugerchips at gmail dot com, or you can just surprise me if you actually do show up.

2011 Le Tour de Donut
Greenville, MI
Friday, September 24th, 2011
(From the 2010 info)
The “Tour De Donut” bike race is a spoof on the “Tour de France”. This appetizing 30 mile bike race is a fun race with rest stops every 10 miles where racers can get water, fruit, first aid, use the bathroom, and get delectable DONUTS. For every tasty donut eaten, a tempting three minutes are deducted from your official finish time. There are only two rules: All donuts must be eaten in the “Donut Zones” and if you toss your cookies- you’re DQ’d. The race has well marked roads, assisted crossings, sag support, awards, prizes and is tons of fun for families, individuals and even experienced cyclists. The race begins and ends at Klackle Orchards Family Fun Farm west of Greenville. The course follows lightly used rural roads and a paved scenic bike trail. Are you a good enough cyclist and donut eater to go into negative time? Competitive cyclists- what’s your strategy? Are you a “glutton” for punishment?
You Can Race or Ride Just for Fun
Keep in mind, 30 miles is no easy task for many mortals! If this is true for you, your family & friends, and perhaps you are looking for a less competitive ride, then ride the 10 mile Family Fun Ride. This group of riders will leave the start shortly after the racers, however they will not be issued race numbers nor will they be timed. They will ride the first 10 miles and “shortcut” to the finish line to enjoy fresh squeezed cider and apple crisp donuts as their reward. Perhaps make it a family challenge! Entry fee is the same and included is a Fun Ride T-shirt, refreshments, and a chance at some really cool participant awards.
or Just Enjoy the Post Race Party
The great post-event party includes the awards ceremony, live entertainment, great food like Pancakes & other eats and of course all the fun Fall activities offered at the Klackle Orchards Family Fun Farm!

I'll keep an eye out for additional information, but it sounds like a great time! This is an event I've wanted to do since I first heard about it.
