This was a first time event for the organizers of Le Tour de Mont Pleasant but they did a great job of making it seem like it's been going on as long as Le Tour de France. Speaking of which, the racers and onlookers were treated to 9 time Tour De France racer Frankie Andreu as the event commentator!

Milan Michigan was the place to be on Sunday, May 3. The Hagerty Cycling Team had a great showing of riders and did really well. The course had 4 miles of dirt and sections of "gravel."
