Living in Southeast Michigan we have access to some of the best cycling in the country. Some of the best opportunities come as we enter the winter and the temperatures drop. The Huron freezes over, the trails become hard as a rock, and we turn on the lights. The winter months offer a great chance to challenge one's self, reach new goals, and prepare for the spring. So take advantage of all the winter has to offer and some of these fun events.

• Worst Day of the Year Ride - Join other Ann Arbor cyclists on January 20th and take on what promises to be some of the worst weather winter can throw at us.
