There is a 8 mile paved road that encircles the entire island, mostly flat but some great scenery. You can also take some roads into the interior of the island, you will get some good climbing going to the center of the island, once again great scenery.
Enjoy!

You will have no problems finding the loop, just follow the horses.
Remember to load up on the fudge, nothing like be a fudgie on the island!

Beautiful place to run and bike. the outer loop is right along the water for much of the way and you cna do hill repeats running up to the Grand hotel.

Well, my parents live there now. I live in East Lansing, MI where I just graduated from law school. Thats why I'm going to CO in July, to take the bar. Now all, I need is a job and a place to live. And some money to make loan payments!
BUY FUDGE lots of it. Stop by TOM's place in Dearborn and drop it off. I will meet you there, we can eat fudge and I can get my Titanflex fit done. Fudge, ya that would motivate me to get my bike and butt into Dearborn, hmmm fudge.
Shit, I probably just put on 5lbs thinking about it.
