In 1995, I rode the DALMAC Quint Century (5 days/500 miles).Having
ridden more than 5,000 miles this year before the DALMAC ride,
I opted for a new more liesurely 5 day East Route. The ride was
wonderful. Instead of beating myself to death for 5 days, I relaxed
and enjoyed Michigan and my Tri-County Bicycle Association companions.
This was by far the best weather I've ever experienced on DALMAC.
It was sunny and between 80° and 85° (f) every day and
cool at night. There were no significant headwinds and no construction
to ride through. What more could anybody want?
