Hello everyone! Just moved back to the Detroit area and looking to connect with some local riders.

I'm do a lot long-distance road cycling and usually ride at a 17+ mph pace, would love to find a group that pushes the pace a bit.

That said, I'm also always down for more casual rides and just getting out with good people.

I'm also travel with my bike for rides/events around the US but I'd really love to start riding more consistently with others locally too.

Planning to pick up a solid gravel bike soon, so definitely interested in any gravel groups.

If anyone has recommendations or rides I could join, l'a really appreciate it. Also happy to connect on Strava: https://strava.app.link/VoytbYOCw2b

Where2ride probably isn't the right tag but curious if anyone knows of any groups that get together for rides in the Tri-City area? I've done some googling and came across some facebooks but they look old (the page, not the riders). Just looking to find some people to potentially ride with in the area. I've been unsuccessful in getting my core group of friends into riding their bikes "long" distances.

I’m usually looking for somewhere to ride heading up north or on my way back. I noticed “Burns Road” segments on Strava. The area looks pretty big and has a lot of activity on the heat map. I can’t find any information on the place. Does anyone have any information on the area and is it worth the side trip?

Okay so to start off I don't drive not for any reason other than not liking to drive.

So I got a question and I've only been able to find one answer to and I'm honestly not even sure if it's legit. So I have a few bikes and lately I have been putting some major money into one of them. Just fixing them up. Buying new parts and getting the bike exactly how I want. So as I said I've put some money into these bikes with new parts, not home upgrades and I'm wondering is it a thing for bicycle insurance in Michigan? The only company I seem to find that offers bicycle insurance is Velosuranace. And I've never heard of them before. So I'm just wondering if it's legit or if people have bicycle insurance with another company. I've just been nervous that if my bicycle gets hit or stolen that I won't be able to recoup on anything. So if anybody has any ideas or an input it would tremendously be appreciated.

So I'm going on a bikepacking trip soon and I'm wondering if I can mail out packages to various cities that I'll be stopping at along the way and be able to pick them up at the post office or however works. I don't even know if it's possible. It's something that I thought about and I assume it's possible but I can't find anything about doing it anywhere. So depending on how things go I may have to go down to the post office and ask them. With all this being said, I'm just wondering everybody's opinion if they've ever done it before or if it would even be worth doing. Thank you
